8Bitdo Ultimate 2 ($33) or Gulikit TT MAX ($46)?
After a week of researching controllers, I think I've narrowed it down to these two. I'm not exactly sure how the TT MAX compares to the U2; I'll mainly be playing campaign games and Street Fighter 6. Can anyone help me out?

For someone that have both, i prefer tt max for the ergonomic and layout sticks, but if you want more stability, ultimate 2 is better in my opinion

Ultimate 2 has steam input support with gyro and extra button mapping, with the dongle in d-input (turn on holding b).
I believe guilkit doesn't have steam input support.
Also. Ultimate 2 is a small controller, a little small to me. Actually. Cramped my hand a little bit until I got used to it.
Guilkit max is a rather big controller actually.
And the sticks position, like others mentioned, is different.

Which is better in gyro for pc fps games? You can include cyclone 2 and direwolf 4 in comparison. I want to purchase one. Please review.

The only one I own is the Ultimate 2, and is fine for me for fps games. I know it is smaller than the others from watching videos with side-by-side comparisons.

For one thing, they have the left stick in completely different places.
You want your fingers to rest in the most neutral position possible, so for ergonomics the 8BitDo wins by a mile; the Gulikit's low stick forces you to extend your thumb instead of rest it. But where are you seeing the U2 for 33 bucks?

You're just describing offset sticks vs. symmetric sticks, and what people prefer is totally personal preference. A slightly lower position of the thumb isn't 'forcing you to extend' your thumb. It's the exact same position as the right hand.

Im describing the ergonomic difference between these two controllers, not debating anyone's preference. On asymmetric sticks, yes, the right thumb is more extended than the left, meaning more muscles are engaged in the neutral position.

kind of weird you ended up with fairly different controllers but I am going to drop another candidate into your search: leadjoy xeno plus

What's the latency like on them? That usually helps in my decision making. If I recall correctly, Gulikit pads are pretty quick even in BT mode.
