GuliKit has announced the launch of its new ES and ES PRO controllers, built for competitive gaming with industry-leading wireless latency and advanced control features. Both models will be released on August 14, 2025, and will be available first on Amazon in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Italy.
The ES and ES PRO utilize GuliKit’s Hyperlink 2 technology to deliver exceptionally fast input speeds. The Bluetooth mode operates at a 730Hz polling rate with a minimum latency of 3.25ms, while wired connections achieve a 1000Hz polling rate with a minimum latency of 1.87ms. This places both controllers among the fastest available for wireless gaming, offering performance that closely matches wired setups.
Polling rate measures how often a controller transmits data to the connected device, while latency represents the total delay from input to on-screen action. Many controllers highlight high polling rates, but without low latency, the responsiveness may still lag behind. GuliKit’s implementation focuses on minimizing latency to provide immediate feedback during gameplay, especially important for e-sports and competitive players.
Both models support Nintendo Switch 2 wake-up out of the box, eliminating the need for firmware updates. The controllers are compatible with Windows PC, Android, Nintendo Switch, and Switch 2.
