Review: GK-21 excellent cheap leverless - 5 stars, everything
works as promised, swapped caps for Kailh Shadow Hunting Switch
because the stick is so cheap. Its not metal base like the more
expensive Varmilo and everything else.. you 100% watched the
revews already and know what your getting. So the acrilic does
"creek" makes those sounds if u bend it but nothing major, u can
play on lap not going to snap it. Acrilis is also quieter than
aluminimm when piano the keys doesn't have that "ting" pitched
sound to it. The extra keys are super usefull and dont get in the
way if not needed, always can dummy button. The key rings are
raised off the base , so you cant get it flush off the acrilic
even if removing the button. Firmware update is ez, software open
source. Overall great stick for half the price, for pc, for ps5
ull shell out another 50$ for usb authenticaator. *compared to
Hitbox and sanwa buttons the original switches are less mushy but
the travel is the same, on the taller side
Review: Best value leverless on the market - I've spent between
$35-300 on different leverless controllers from different brands,
and I can easily say this one is the best balance of quality and
value. Out of the box, I would tighten all the screws to ensure
nothing comes loose, but otherwise it is well built. I swapped
the switches out for some with a shorter travel and quicker
actuation, but the ones that come with it are perfectly
serviceable. Lastly, I got a booster 4 from Haute so I can use it
on PS5 in addition to the other platforms it supports. All of the
extra buttons are nice if you need more bindings, the LED is
nicely diffused and make the controller look great, but not
blinding at night. It's a Gp2040ce board, so the web interface is
easy to work with. In retrospect, I didn't need all the
additional buttons, and I think the 16 button version would be
more practical in many ways. Overall, I would highly recommend
this over Haute/Cosmox products, and I look forward to seeing
Guilekeys put out more products in the future.
