At least in regards to the Ultimate controller, a firmware update released recently allows you to connect directly via bluetooth if you want. There may be some caveats involved; I tested it out a bit while ago trying to configure the back buttons (unfortunately, I don’t have a Windows PC and eventually gave up). I haven’t played docked in a couple months, and even then only spent a bit of time setting it all up, so I may misremember certain details.
so it’s the same stick for both controller, so they differ only with their form factor which is a more subjective element to compare. I really like the Xbox Elite Controller design of the King King 2 Pro Controller.
I’ve looked into that one. Is it better than 8bitdo?
I preferred it because (as i understood) 8bitdo could only connect in xInput mode with a 2.4Ghz dongle, and in switch pro mode with bluetooth

yes, once you have tested HAL joystick, you can’t return to classic gamepad 😄
If you mean Hall effect joysticks, 8bitdo have them.
My bad, it seems that you are right, 8bitdo use the gulikit joystick.

The King Kong does look nice! I remember looking into it but settled on the 8bitdo Pro 2 as it was about 30% cheaper! 😅
