After debuting its affordable $29.99 Elves 2 controller last month, GuliKit is back with another budget-friendly alternative to Nintendo’s Switch 2 Pro Controller — if you prefer an asymmetrical joystick layout.
Both the $24.99 GuliKit ES and $29.99 ES Pro controllers are available starting today in gray for the cheaper version and your choice of black or white for the pro model.
It supports Windows PCs and Android devices, but like GuliKit’s Elves 2, the ES and ES Pro are both Switch compatible and can be used to wake the Switch 2.
There are a couple of Switch 2 Pro Controller features you won’t find on either of these.
The ES and ES Pro can’t be used to scan Amiibo figures, and they don’t have an additional set of buttons on the back.
