  • I’ve got an 8BitDo and a Gulikit and they’re both built well. My only complaint with the Gulikit is that I bought the white KingKong2 and the sticks yellowed after a couple of months sitting near a window, but otherwise the controller is fine. I’ve been able to connect at least the Gulikit to my laptop perfectly well over Bluetooth (I always use the 8BitDo wired on my desktop so I’ve never tried it wireless). Can’t really go wrong with anything made by either of them












  • Haven’t had any issues with the 8Bitdo, but I also have a Gulikit King Kong 2 that when it was new, had some issues with how the accelerometers worked when playing Switch games that eventually got fixed with a firmware update. It was kinda hard to play Splatoon 3 for a bit until it was updated. So i’d say the firmware updates are for stuff like that


  • 8Bitdo Pro 2 is the only one I can think of off the top of my head. Not entirely sure where they’re made, but I’m pretty sure they sell to Europe. On Linux, you’d have to follow these instructions to do firmware updates, since their update tool only works on Mac and Windows. I have a 8Bitdo SN30 Pro+ and its been perfectly fine on Linux.

    As an aside, if you, or anyone reading this is comfortable with soldering. Gulikit sells Hall Effect Sticks that can be retrofit into both the Dualshock 4 and the Dualsense, if you’re looking for that Playstation stick layout. (I believe Gulikit also provides the hall effect sticks that 8bitdo uses)
