The Elves 2 could also appeal to gamers who prefer a symmetrical joystick layout, similar to what the PlayStation’s controllers use, or those who still have a soft spot for the Sega Saturn gamepad.
It’s compatible with the original Switch and the Switch 2, as well as Windows, Android, and iOS devices. In addition to being able to wake the Switch 2, the Elves 2 has a six-axis gyroscope for motion controls like Nintendo’s new Pro controller, but it lacks an NFC chip for scanning Amiibos and the dedicated chat button found on the Joy-Con 2.
GuliKit says the Elves 2’s battery life is rated at up to 20 hours, which matches the Elves 2 Pro. Other premium features missing on the cheaper alternative include button remapping, adjustable joystick sensitivity, and the ability to record and replay up to 10 minutes of button presses.
