- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

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.
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".
