Gulikit TT Pro vs TT Max Controllers

The GuliKit TT Series has officially launched for global markets as of January 15, 2026. Following the release of the Xbox-styled KK3 Max, the new TT Series shifts focus to a symmetrical (PlayStation-style) stick layout while integrating GuliKit’s newer TMR joystick technology.

The series is available in two variants: the TT Max ($69.99) and the TT Pro ($59.99). While both controllers share the same chassis, battery (950 mAh), and core sensors, there are specific firmware and accessory differences that differentiate the two price points.

Feature	TT Max	TT Pro
Price (MSRP)	$69.99 / £69.99 / €79.99	$59.99 / £59.99 / €69.99
Joystick Type	TMR (Adjustable Tension)	TMR (Adjustable Tension)
Trigger Type	Dual-Mode (Hall / Microswitch)	Dual-Mode (Hall / Microswitch)
Macro (APG) Recording	10 Minutes	10 Seconds
Gyroscope	Yes	Yes
PC Motion Aim Assist	Yes (Gyro to Joystick)	No
Stick Sensitivity Adjustment	Yes (50% / 100% / 150%)	No (Fixed 100%)
D-Pad Mode	Switchable (4-way / 8-way)	Fixed (8-way only)
Software ABXY Swap	Yes	No
Included Joystick Caps	3 Pairs (Standard + 2 Extra)	1 Pair (Standard)
Wireless Adapter	Included	Included
Switch 2 Wake-Up	Yes	Yes

Our reviews on both are coming soon!

Shared Core Hardware: TMR Joysticks and Triggers

Both the TT Max and TT Pro are built on the exact same hardware foundation. Unlike some “Pro” vs “Standard” product lines where the cheaper model uses inferior sensors, GuliKit has maintained feature parity for the primary inputs.

• TMR Joysticks: Both models utilize 720° Tension Adjustable TMR (Tunnel Magnetoresistance) joysticks. This is a magnetic sensor technology designed to offer the durability of Hall Effect sticks but with potentially lower power consumption and higher resolution.
• Tension Adjustment: A hidden mechanism allows users to adjust stick resistance within a ±30g range on both models. A tool is included in the box for this purpose.
• Dual-Mode Triggers: Both controllers feature selectable triggers that can switch between Hall Effect Analog (for racing games) and Microswitch Digital (for shooters).
• Back Paddles: Both include four metal back buttons.

The Differences: What does the extra $10 for TT Max buy?

The $10 price difference comes down to software features and included accessories. The TT Max includes seven specific additions that are absent in the TT Pro.

Feature	TT Max	TT Pro
Price	$69.99 / £69.99 / €79.99	$59.99 / £59.99 / €69.99
Macro (APG) Recording Time	10 Minutes	10 Seconds
PC Motion Aim Assist	Yes	No
Joystick Sensitivity Adjustment	Yes (50% / 100% / 150%)	No
D-Pad Mode	Switchable (4-way / 8-way)	Fixed (8-way only)
Software ABXY Button Swap	Yes	No
Extra Joystick Caps	2 Additional Pairs	None

1. Macro (APG) Recording Capabilities

The most significant functional difference is the Auto Pilot Gaming (APG) recording time.

• TT Max: Supports up to 10 minutes of input recording. This is useful for long automation sequences in RPGs or farming sims.
• TT Pro: Limited to 10 seconds of recording. This is sufficient for fighting game combos or quick actions but not for extended automation.

2. PC Motion Aim Assist

The TT Max includes a firmware feature that simulates joystick input via the gyroscope, activated by holding L/ZL. This provides gyro aiming support on PC games that do not natively support it. The TT Pro lacks this firmware toggle.

3. Joystick Sensitivity Adjustment

The TT Max allows for on-the-fly sensitivity toggling (50%, 100%, 150%) via controller shortcuts. The TT Pro is locked to standard 100% sensitivity unless adjusted via external software (Steam Input, etc.).

4. D-Pad Modes

• TT Max: Users can toggle the D-pad between 4-way and 8-way modes. 4-way mode is often preferred for retro platformers to prevent accidental diagonal inputs.
• TT Pro: Fixed to 8-way mode.

5. Software ABXY Swap

While both controllers allow you to physically rearrange the face button caps, the TT Max supports a non-physical software swap of the ABXY inputs. The TT Pro requires you to remap these inputs via your operating system or game settings if the physical layout doesn’t match the software output.

6. Joystick Accessories

• TT Max: Includes 2 additional pairs of joystick caps with different heights (total of 6 caps).
• TT Pro: Includes only the standard installed joystick caps.

Connectivity and Latency

GuliKit has standardized the wireless performance across both models using their “Hyperlink 2” system. Notably, the Hyperlink 2 USB Wireless Adapter is included with both the Max and the Pro, ensuring that the lower-priced model does not suffer from connectivity disadvantages.

According to GuliKit’s published testing (via GPDL), the performance metrics are identical for both units:

• Wired: 1000Hz (2.16ms)
• Wireless Adapter: 820Hz (2.95ms)
• Bluetooth: 730Hz (2.62ms)

Platform Compatibility and Switch 2

Both controllers are compatible with Windows PC, iOS, Android, and Nintendo Switch.

A key highlight for this series is forward compatibility. Both the TT Max and TT Pro support Nintendo Switch 2 wake-up functionality. This confirms that the controllers utilize the updated communication protocols required for the next-generation console, though backward compatibility with the original Switch is maintained.

The differences aren’t huge

The TT Pro ($59.99) is likely the better value proposition for the majority of gamers. It retains the TMR sensors, adjustable tension, dual-mode triggers, and metal back paddles that define the controller’s performance. The 10-second macro limit and lack of extra stick caps are acceptable compromises for the lower price.

I would specifically recommend TT Max ($69.99) if you require:

1. Long macros: If you use APG for farming/grinding in games.
2. More options for gyro on PC: If you rely on motion aim for shooters without native support.
3. Extra joystick caps
4. Differently shaped D-pad
