Elves 2

GuliKit Elves 2 (not Pro) is my latest favorite. Really comfy Saturn style pad with analog sticks and polls > 700 over Bluetooth. About 1k wired. Absolute gem. (Pro is also good and has some additional features but has very run of the mill latency when Bluetooth because of a significantly reduced po

I like the Gulikit elves 2 pro controller for my portable setup. It’s similar to a sega genesis controller and fairly flat with low profile sticks so it has a more modern form factor without the bulk you expect from controller grips. It also comes in a thin plastic case so it’s protected in a bag. I

I'm a fan of the M30 for emulation, but not so much for many modern 2D games. It's a good d-pad for platformer games. It's nice to have the 6 button layout for Mega Drive / Saturn emulation and many modern fighting games, but that layout falls short in Nintendo games - especially modern ones - to th

It really depends when it comes to budget, the games you play, ease of use, and what features you care about. If you care about budget, and want something to "just work", then the 8bitdo Ultimate 2 Wireless is fantastic. No stick drift, extra back buttons/shoulder buttons, a gyroscope, and it works

Personally I use a Gulikit Elves 2 which has the symmetrical sticks in a Sega Saturn shape with the Saturn dpad. Massive fan of it myself given it was a 35aud controller, by far the least likely controller to induce hand cramps and love the floating dpad. Only in negative is the digital triggers, th

Generally you're right, but RetroArch does some miracles in this regard. If you have a good responsive controller (I use gulikit elves 2) and a decent monitor you can have as low or even lower latency than original hardware. In the 8 bit era games generally had 2 frames ot lag. 16 bit, 2 or 3. In th

My new favourite dpad is the gulikit Elves 2. I like Sega type dpads but I don't like Sega button layouts, so this controller seemed made for me. And the dpad feels incredible. Been playing Silksong with it. Only drawback of the controller is that the Bluetooth isn't stable. But I'm using it wired.

Gulikit elves 2 non pro if you want a cheap option ($30) with a good dpad. Very accurate and easy to press since some people complain of thumb pain having to press down some dpads over long periods of time. Very good face buttons as well. Very low latency over bluetooth. It is on the small side but

i second everything said here. i use the gulikit elves 2 for all retro style gaming on switch 2, pro controller 2 for modern games the rumble on the elves 2 isn’t very good, especially compared to hd rumble, so i just turned it off immediately. snes games didn’t have rumble anyway. the combination o
