As I recall they both have hall effect joystick, not sure about the triggers but I know that the KKP2's triggers are hall effect.
The 8bitdo Pro 2 does not have Hall effect sticks afaik. The only 8bitdo controller that does as of now is the Ultimate Bluetooth model (not the 2.4ghz or wired).
Fair dues, didn't pay attention to that distinction. Mb
I'm pretty sure only the Ultimate has HE from 8bit do. The Pro 2 definitely seems to not have them with the amount of posts I've seen asking if retro-fitting them is possible.
King Kong 2 both pro and non-pro have HE sticks and triggers, I've got a KK2P and that's the reason I wanted one. 8bitdo don't seem to mention it on their website but I remember the release press articles mentioning some recent model coming out with HE sticks, but nothing is mentioned in the product pages.
That's why I have the KK2P as well. When I was in the market I was watching review videos on different models from both companies and the only 8bitdo controller I got confirmation of HE sensors on was the Ultimate so it's prudent to assume the others don't.
I guess I confused the 8bitdo Pro and Ultimate, yeah never meant to imply other controllers from 8bitdo had them.
No problem. It doesn't help that both companies have a "Pro 2".
if they both have hall effect joysticks then in my case it would be a no brainer to get the 8bitdo.
I'll have to look it up to make sure though.
thanks.
I was pretty sure the 8bitdo ultimate was supposed to have HE sticks and triggers, not sure if the different models use different sticks but would seem unlikely, but another user mentioned they were indeed different.
