GuliKit showed off their Elves 2 prototype controllers at Gamescom 2024 in Cologne, Germany. The company also displayed a Libra MAX model at the same event. Gaming fans want more third-party controllers with symmetrical layouts that differ from PlayStation designs. The Elves series takes some style cues from Sega Saturn controllers. People grew excited when they saw these almost-finished products last August.
Fans became restless after waiting more than six months for the controllers to hit stores. Many expected the white Elves 2 model would be available shortly after its reveal. Amazon listings appeared later with a January release date that has already passed. GuliKit recently announced on social media that both white and black Elves 2 Pro models will arrive in May, offering retro looks with modern performance. The company has not added product pages to its website yet.
The controllers feature Hall Effect sticks that prevent drift problems, magnetic vibration, wired and Bluetooth options, and a small battery lasting up to 20 hours. They work with Nintendo Switch, computers, iOS, and Android devices. The D-pad might appeal to fighting game players. Another popular choice is 8Bitdo's M30, which resembles the Sega Genesis controller but lacks analog sticks.
