GuliKit ES Max Launches With TMR Sticks, Dual-Mode Triggers, and 3.25ms Hyperlink 2 Wireless Latency

GuliKit is expanding its esports controller lineup with the new ES Max, a wireless Gaming Controller designed for players who want low input latency without giving up compatibility across multiple platforms. The latest model brings new TMR thumbsticks with integrated angle sensors, switchable trigger modes, remappable rear buttons, and the company’s Hyperlink 2 wireless technology. It also arrives with the Hyperlink 2 Bluetooth Controller Adapter in the box.

The GuliKit ES Max is aimed particularly at PC competitive gaming, including shooters where controller response and stick accuracy can make a difference. It supports PC, Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, Android, and iOS, with wired, built-in Hyperlink 2 Bluetooth, and adapter-based wireless connection options. A physical PC/Switch mode switch lets users change between the two platforms without going through software menus.

Wireless performance is one of the main areas GuliKit is focusing on with the ES Max. In wired mode, the controller supports polling rates of up to 1,000Hz with claimed button latency as low as 1.87ms. Built-in Hyperlink 2 Bluetooth reaches up to 730Hz with claimed button latency of 3.25ms. GuliKit says its Hyperlink 2 technology is designed to reduce actual input delay rather than simply pushing higher polling-rate figures.

The included Hyperlink 2 Bluetooth Controller Adapter is not limited to the ES Max. GuliKit says it can work with multiple third-party controllers and provides a dedicated Bluetooth connection that can help maintain wireless stability in environments with interference.

The ES Max is also the first GuliKit controller to use the company’s new TMR thumbsticks with integrated angle sensors. The design detects changes in magnetic angle as the stick moves, allowing the controller to translate movement into two-axis input. GuliKit says the approach is intended to provide consistent stick response and improved control for competitive gaming.

The thumbstick caps are detachable and use stainless-steel anti-friction rings. Users can replace the caps with different-height options, while an internal self-lubricating support structure is designed to keep stick movement smooth and reduce contact between the moving components and controller shell.

GuliKit has also fitted the ES Max with dual-mode triggers. Players can switch between a micro-switch mode for fast actuation and a Hall-effect linear mode for more gradual trigger control. Two tactile rear buttons can also be remapped, giving players additional inputs without moving their thumbs away from the sticks.

The controller retains several features from the ES Pro, including adjustable joystick dead zones, anti-snapback through Adaptive Mode, three sensitivity levels, adjustable vibration, turbo functions, PC motion-assisted aiming, ABXY input swapping, and four-way or eight-way D-pad operation. Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 wake-up support and six-axis gyroscope functionality on Switch are also included.

Alongside the controller, GuliKit has introduced its first dedicated GuliKit App for Android and iOS. The app allows supported controllers to be customized, firmware to be updated, and configurations to be saved for different games. GuliKit plans to expand support to more controller models over time, although compatibility will depend on each product’s hardware.

The ES Max uses a 950mAh lithium-polymer battery and is rated for up to approximately 30 hours of gameplay. It measures 155 × 103 × 65mm and weighs around 233g without the wireless adapter.
