From gaming brand GuliKit comes the latest flagship model, ES MAX, in the ES Series!
In addition to the newly developed angle-sensing TMR stick, it features a multitude of new functions such as low-latency wireless communication, dual-mode triggers, and back buttons.
Equipped with Newly Developed Stick and Support for the GuliKit App
The ES MAX supports comfortable gameplay across a wide range of genres, from competitive FPS/TPS titles to action, racing, and RPGs.
With the included Hyperlink 2 Bluetooth adapter, it achieves a stable connection environment even over Bluetooth.
It supports a wide range of platforms, allowing you to enjoy gaming on virtually any system, from PC to Nintendo Switch 2.
Here are the main features of this product:
- Newly developed Angle-Sensing TMR Stick
- Ultra-low latency Bluetooth communication at 3.25ms (730Hz)
- Includes Hyperlink 2 Bluetooth Adapter
- Dual-Mode Triggers (Microswitch / Hall Linear)
- Equipped with 2 remappable back buttons
- Supports dedicated GuliKit App
- Compatible with PC / Nintendo Switch / Nintendo Switch 2 / Android / iOS
- Supports wake-up for Nintendo Switch / Switch 2
- Detachable stick caps & anti-wear metal rings (KK Ring)
Here is a closer look at the performance of the latest flagship model, ES MAX!
No Compromises Even on Bluetooth! Low-Latency Response
The ES MAX supports the following 3 variations of connection methods!
- Wired USB Connection
- Built-in Hyperlink 2 Bluetooth Connection
- Included Hyperlink 2 Bluetooth Adapter Connection
It supports high-speed responses at 1000Hz with an average of 1.87ms over a wired USB connection, and an average of 3.25ms (730Hz) via Bluetooth.
The proprietary Hyperlink 2 technology not only boosts the polling rate, but also optimizes the transmission path to deliver stable, low-latency communication even over Bluetooth connections.
In addition, the Hyperlink 2 Bluetooth Adapter is also compatible with select third-party Bluetooth controllers.
It can be utilized not only with the ES MAX, but also as a general-purpose Bluetooth adapter.
Equipped with Newly Developed Angle-Sensing TMR Stick
The ES MAX marks the debut of GuliKit's newly developed Angle-Sensing TMR Stick!
Using a new sensing method, it directly detects changes in the magnet's angle, accurately picking up even minute stick adjustments.
This supports input faithful to the player's intentions in games requiring delicate aim control, such as FPS and TPS titles.
Additionally, proprietary stainless steel anti-wear rings (KK Ring) are used around the stick shafts, and detachable stick caps allow for customization according to your preference.
Tailored to Your Game for Your Ideal Control Feel
To provide optimal control tailored to different game genres and playstyles, the ES MAX is equipped with Dual-Mode Triggers.
A toggle switch on the controller allows for one-touch switching between two modes.
The tactile microswitch mode is ideal for FPS and action games, while the pressure-sensitive Hall linear mode is perfect for throttle and brake controls in racing games!
Furthermore, the back of the controller features 2 freely remappable back buttons.
By assigning frequently used actions like jumping or reloading, players can execute quick inputs without taking their thumbs off the analog sticks.
Even More Convenient with the GuliKit App
Coinciding with the release of the ES MAX, GuliKit launched its very first dedicated smartphone app, GuliKit App,.
Via a Bluetooth connection, users can easily adjust stick and trigger sensitivity, button mappings, vibration intensity, and more directly from their smartphone.
Settings can be saved as profiles, allowing for quick switching depending on the game.
You can also perform firmware updates directly from your smartphone without needing a PC.
At launch, it supports the ES MAX as well as the ES Series and TT Series, which can be accessed after updating to the latest firmware.
You can download the GuliKit App from the App Store or the official GuliKit website.
