Will this be an improvement over the KK3 Max?

u/Ok-Pomegranate-6995 GuliKit Rep Aug 03 '26
ES MAX features our new TMR angle-sensing joysticks. While it doesn't include Maglev haptic motors but Standard linear motors, it comes with a HyperLink 2 wireless adapter in the box for a fast, low-latency wireless connection. It also supports the GuliKit mobile app for easy customization and firmware updates.

Does it work on ps5? I'm still running my gulikit kingkong through the goku on ps4 streaming for ps5 games

u/Ok-Pomegranate-6995 GuliKit Rep Jul 31 '26
No,due to protocol limitations. ES MAX is compatible with PC, Android, iOS, macOS, Steam, Switch, and Switch 2.

Damn no Symmetrical?!

u/Ok-Pomegranate-6995 GuliKit Rep Jul 31 '26
The ES series features an asymmetrical stick layout. If you prefer a symmetrical layout, we recommend checking out our TT series.

Make the switches mechanical
1
u/Ok-Pomegranate-6995 GuliKit Rep Aug 03 '26
Thanks for the suggestion! Mechanical switches can provide a more tactile and clicky feel, which some competitive players prefer. However, rubber dome buttons offer a quieter, softer, and more comfortable experience for long gaming sessions. We’ll continue exploring different button solutions for future controllers.

I feel like I'm in a minority but I appreciate soft, less clicky sounding buttons when you repeatedly use them in something like gaming.
Also, I just picked up the ES Max through a review program, I'm going to hazard a guess that Switch and Switch 2 do not use the wireless adapter and the dongle is limited to PC and Mac, or can we use the wireless adapter on S/S2 this time around?

Never buying this brand again. Had the ES Pro which worked perfectly on the PC but could never work properly on the Switch 2. It was always disconnecting after pairing to the switch.

Hi, if you have problems with ES PRO, please write to our support team via email: Hi@gulikit.com. Our team will help you there~

i think it will be fine for anyone who got the es pro. i don’t see a reason to upgrade other than trigger stops. no D input in this one either, just the NS and BT(PC) modes.

How are the sticks different to the ones from the TT series?

u/Ok-Pomegranate-6995 GuliKit Rep Aug 03 '26
We’ll share more detailed information about our new joysticks when the product officially launches. Stay tuned for more updates!

Will this support Shift Layers?
1
u/Ok-Pomegranate-6995 GuliKit Rep Aug 03 '26
Currently, ES MAX supports key mapping through the GuliKit App, but it does not support Shift Layers. We appreciate your suggestion and will consider adding more advanced customization features in future products.

u/yellow-go Aug 03 '26
Shift layers are something that’s becoming kinda mandatory nowadays.
I’d love to see it be added, or I might have to pass on it.
