Looking up the 8bitdo Ultimate again, I think it’s better than both the 8bitdo pro 2 and the gulikit. However, I think the reason why I didn’t consider it before it’s because of the battery replacement.
In the pro 2 it’s easy as putting in AAs or new 8bitdo batteries. The ultimate feels like if the battery dies it will be more convenient to buy another than to replace it.
Currently checking out how durable the battery for Ultimate is and weighing if it’s worth the trade-off.
If the battery averages to last about at least 2 years of regular use, I’m leaning towards the ultimate.
