GuliKit launches ES Max with 3.25ms Bluetooth latency, angle-sensing TMR thumbsticks, dual-mode triggers, rear buttons, Hyperlink 2 adapter and app support.
SHENZHEN, CHINA, August 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — GuliKit today officially launched the ES Max gaming controller, the latest upgrade to its ES Series gaming controller lineup. Designed as a high-speed Bluetooth gaming controller, the ES Max is built for PC competitive gamers, especially players who demand fast response and precise control in shooting games, while also supporting a wide range of platforms including Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PC, Android, and iOS.
Bundled Hyperlink 2 Bluetooth Adapter Delivers Stable, Ultra-Low-Latency Wireless Performance
The ES Max supports three connection methods: wired connection, built-in Hyperlink 2 Bluetooth connection, and connection through the included Hyperlink 2 Bluetooth Controller Adapter. The adapter mode is especially useful in environments with heavy wireless interference, creating a dedicated Bluetooth connection channel for the controller to help reduce interference and maintain stable transmission and responsive performance during competitive gaming.
Powered by GuliKit’s proprietary high-speed Hyperlink 2 Bluetooth technology, the ES Max optimizes the wireless transmission path to achieve Bluetooth latency as low as 3.25ms (730Hz), significantly lower than standard Bluetooth connections, which typically operate at around 8–30ms (125–250Hz).
The high-speed response and ultra-low-latency performance enabled by Hyperlink 2 technology have been independently tested and verified by Gamepadla, a third-party controller latency testing platform, across multiple GuliKit products.
In wired mode, the ES Max supports a polling rate of up to 1,000Hz with 1.87ms button latency.
Unlike conventional adapters that primarily provide connectivity, the Hyperlink 2 adapter can significantly improve response speed and reduce transmission latency for supported third-party controllers.
New TMR Thumbsticks with Integrated Angle Sensors Improve Precision and Stability
The ES Max is the first GuliKit controller to feature the company’s new integrated angle-sensing TMR thumbsticks.
Unlike traditional linear TMR thumbstick solutions that rely on changes in magnetic field strength, angle-sensing thumbsticks operate in a saturation region, responding primarily to magnetic angle rather than external magnetic field intensity. This allows the ES Max to deliver more responsive, precise, and stable stick input.
Internally, the thumbsticks use a self-lubricating support structure that prevents direct contact between joystick components and the controller shell, maintaining smooth movement while improving durability.
Dual-Mode Triggers and Remappable Rear Buttons for Different Gaming Scenarios
To meet the diverse control requirements of competitive shooters, action games, racing titles, and other genres, the ES Max introduces switchable micro-switch and Hall-effect linear dual-mode triggers.
Players can switch between a fast-actuation micro-switch mode and a linear mode with precise travel input. The rear of the controller features two tactile buttons with custom mapping support.
GuliKit App Now Available with Controller Customization, Firmware Updates, and Profile Management
The GuliKit App is now available on Android and iOS, with support for the ES Series—including the ES Max—and TT Series controllers. Players can use the App to view supported features and customize controller parameters through an intuitive interface, making it easier to tailor settings to different games and personal preferences. Built-in digital manuals also provide quick access to controller features and setup guidance.
For App-compatible controllers, players can update firmware directly through the GuliKit App without additional devices or complicated procedures, making it easier to access future feature updates and performance improvements.
The App also supports saved custom configurations. Players can create and store controller profiles for different games, then quickly retrieve and apply their preferred settings when needed, reducing the need to repeatedly adjust parameters when switching between titles.
The GuliKit App will continue to expand compatibility. New firmware updates have recently been released for ES Series and TT Series controllers. Existing owners can download the latest firmware from GuliKit’s official website and complete the initial update on a PC. Once updated, the controllers can use the GuliKit App for future firmware updates and custom settings, eliminating the need to return to a computer for subsequent changes.
Because some older models use different hardware architectures, compatibility for other GuliKit controllers will vary by model. Please refer to GuliKit’s official compatibility list for supported devices.
Extensive Software Features Carried Over from the ES Pro
Beyond its upgraded hardware, the ES Max retains the extensive software features available on the ES Pro, including Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 console wake-up support, six-axis gyroscope functionality on Switch, adjustable dead zones, vibration intensity adjustment, turbo functionality, PC motion-assisted aiming, ABXY input swapping, adjustable joystick sensitivity, and four-way/eight-way D-pad switching.
Familiar ES Series Hardware with Up to 30 Hours of Battery Life
The ES Max is equipped with asymmetric rotor vibration motors, GuliKit’s second-generation conductive-rubber button mechanism, and a 950mAh lithium-polymer battery, providing up to approximately 30 hours of continuous gameplay on a full charge.
The controller also features zero-power standby technology, allowing it to maintain battery performance during extended periods of inactivity and power on normally even after long-term storage.
Availability and Pricing
The GuliKit ES Max gaming controller will be available beginning August 11, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. ET through GuliKit’s official sales channels and authorized retailers.
The suggested retail price is US$49.99 in the United States, €49.99 in Europe, £42.99 in the United Kingdom, and ¥7,999 in Japan.
Regional availability and other launch updates will be announced through GuliKit’s official website and social media channels.
