GuliKit’s new Switch controller features next-generation anti-drift thumbsticks
GuliKit has released the ES Max, a new wireless controller for the Nintendo Switch featuring next-generation anti-drift technology. Priced at $49.99, the controller uses improved tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) thumbsticks that deliver greater responsiveness and precision than previous versions.
The ES Max represents a step up from GuliKit’s earlier ES Pro model, which launched at $29.99 nearly a year ago. Despite the price increase, the ES Max remains more affordable than Nintendo’s official Switch 2 Pro Controller while offering enhanced features and functionality. The controller directly addresses one of the Switch’s most persistent hardware problems—stick drift—which affected many players’ original controllers throughout the console’s lifetime.
By implementing improved TMR thumbstick technology, GuliKit aims to provide players with greater durability and reliability alongside enhanced precision and responsiveness. The ES Max offers a compelling third-party alternative for players seeking to avoid the stick drift issues that have plagued Nintendo’s original controllers.
