GuliKit Launches “ES MAX” High-Performance Gaming Controller with Ultra-Low Latency Bluetooth Communication on August 12

Key Features

ES MAX is designed to support comfortable gameplay across various genres, from competitive FPS/TPS to action, racing, and RPGs. The included Hyperlink 2 Bluetooth adapter ensures stable Bluetooth connectivity, enabling gaming on platforms such as PC and Nintendo Switch™ 2.

Key features of ES MAX include:

• Newly developed “Angle-Sensing TMR Sticks”

• Ultra-low latency Bluetooth communication at 3.25ms (730Hz)

• Hyperlink 2 Bluetooth adapter included

• Dual-mode triggers (Microswitch / Hall Linear)

• Two assignable back buttons

• Compatible with the dedicated “GuliKit App”

• Supports PC / Nintendo Switch™ / Nintendo Switch™ 2 / Android / iOS

• Nintendo Switch™ / Switch™ 2 wake-up support

• Detachable stick caps & wear-resistant metal rings (KK Ring)

Low-Latency Performance

ES MAX offers three connection methods: USB wired, built-in Hyperlink 2 Bluetooth, and the included Hyperlink 2 Bluetooth adapter.

The proprietary “Hyperlink 2” technology optimizes the communication path, achieving stable, low-latency communication even with Bluetooth. It supports an average of 3.25ms (730Hz) via Bluetooth and a fast response of 1000Hz (average 1.87ms) via USB wired connection. This ensures comfortable operational responsiveness in a wireless environment.

Furthermore, the included Hyperlink 2 Bluetooth adapter establishes a dedicated communication path, reducing surrounding wireless interference. It also supports some third-party Bluetooth controllers.

High-Precision Sticks

ES MAX is the first to adopt GuliKit’s newly developed angle-sensing TMR sticks. This new sensing method directly detects changes in magnet angles, accurately detecting subtle stick movements. This supports precise input for games requiring delicate aiming, such as FPS and TPS.

The sticks feature GuliKit’s unique stainless steel wear-resistant rings (KK Ring), and detachable stick caps allow for customization according to user preference.

Customizable Control Feel

To provide an optimal control feel for different game genres and playstyles, ES MAX is equipped with dual-mode triggers.

A switch on the controller allows for one-touch switching between microswitch mode and Hall linear mode. The clicky microswitch mode is suitable for FPS and action games, while the Hall linear mode, which detects pressure, is ideal for accelerator/brake operations in racing games.

Two freely assignable back buttons are also located on the rear of the controller. Assigning frequently used actions like jumping or reloading to these buttons enables quick input without removing a thumb from the stick. This supports comfortable operation for both competitive and extended gaming sessions.

Smartphone App for Settings and Updates

With the launch of ES MAX, GuliKit is also releasing its first dedicated smartphone app, “GuliKit App,” for Android and iOS.

After Bluetooth connection, users can easily adjust stick and trigger settings, button assignments, and vibration intensity from their smartphone. Settings can be saved as profiles and quickly switched for different games.

Firmware updates can also be performed via smartphone, eliminating the need for a PC. At launch, the app supports ES series and TT series controllers with the latest firmware, and compatibility will be expanded sequentially.

• Stick sensitivity and dead zone adjustment

• Adaptive Mode Turbo (rapid fire) function
