GuliKit has partnered with Starsand Island to release special edition versions of its ES Pro and Elves 2 controllers as the game launches in Early Access on February 11, 2026. Starsand Island is a cozy life simulation game that blends farming, ranching, exploration, crafting, and building into a rich island environment. Players can expect over 100 hours of gameplay filled with flexible creation options, detailed interactions with NPCs, and story-driven experiences that bring the island world to life.
The Starsand Island Edition controllers are designed to reflect the game’s relaxed and immersive atmosphere. Both the ES Pro and Elves 2 feature low-latency Bluetooth connectivity, responsive vibration feedback, drift-resistant joysticks, and long battery life. They also support gyro aiming and Switch 2 wake-up, while being fully compatible with PC, ensuring smooth and reliable control across multiple platforms.
The controllers’ design draws inspiration from the game’s island setting. A soft light-blue base with gentle gradient tones evokes the sky and ocean, while small illustrations, including the game’s capybara companion, add charm and character. The co-branded packaging matches the controllers’ design, making them suitable for display or collection, and comes with exclusive in-game bonus items for players.
Built for extended play sessions, the Starsand Island Edition controllers are intended to provide comfort and precise control for all aspects of the game, from tending farms to exploring the island or crafting new structures. As Starsand Island begins its Early Access on PC and Xbox Game Pass, GuliKit and the game’s developers plan to expand the collaboration with next-generation controller technology and a new adapter for Xbox, increasing cross-platform support.
The special edition ES Pro and Elves 2 controllers are expected to launch in April 2026. Pricing will be announced closer to release, and the products will be available through Amazon and authorized GuliKit retailers. Players can follow GuliKit’s official channels for updates on availability and partnership news.
