The Biggest Switch 2 Controller Is Also $20 Cheaper Than Nintendo's

My verdict: if the official Pro Controller feels small in your hands, the GuliKit TT Max is worth a look, and at $70 it stays inside the price range I would accept.

I mean biggest literally. Engadget’s review calls it the heftiest Switch 2 controller around: wider, thicker and heavier than Nintendo’s Pro Controller and 8BitDo’s Ultimate 2. It feels closer to an Xbox pad. It also brings a lot for the money: TMR thumbsticks with adjustable tension, triggers that switch between a Hall effect pull and a digital click, gyro, four removable back paddles, three rumble modes, and support for Switch, Switch 2, PC, Android and iOS. Engadget gave it 9 out of 10 and says plainly that it is not great for small hands.

Size cuts both ways. Some controllers are uncomfortable for some people precisely because of how big they are. What matters is that it is what you were looking for, that the weight does not become a nuisance, and that it is comfortable.

My rule on price is simple. Once a third-party controller costs more than 85% of the official one, I drop it, unless the official one is genuinely uncomfortable for you. Let us be honest: Nintendo’s controllers set a fairly clear standard. The Switch 2 Pro Controller sells for $89.99 in the US, so my line sits at about $76. At $70, the TT Max is under it.

I have not held one. If you can, try it in a store first, or check the return policy before you buy, because comfort is the one thing a spec sheet cannot tell you. Check the current price too, then read the full review.
