@AKNES I just received my replacement hall joysticks, no clicking noise :moogle:

First time, I was disappointed to receive clicking joysticks, but I'm really pleased to see that when you say that you take care of your customers, this is for real ! Thank you.

The QC problem itself is the fault of the seller and the brand, not the fault of the buyer.
We're just making up for mistakes.
Please rest assured to buy things under the AKNES store, as long as you have product problems, please find our after-sales service. The store customer service and I are both feasible.

Hi @AKNES
Do you know if there's been or will be any revisions to the King Kong 2 Pro switches?
I'm currently fixing my sticky A/B buttons.

It's the new version from AKNES-EU without clicking. And if you have any issue after purchase, please contact me or my workmate on Amazon. Customers' satisfy is our first priority.
I was an early buyer and got clicky sticks. I have to say AKNES was super good about sending me replacements.

I have the 8bitdo mod kit for OG N64 controllers with bluetooth and hall stick, which I am quite happy with.

I know there's little to no chance of this, but something similar for OG Hori Mini N64 controllers would make me the happiest camper on earth.

I have a small video game cafe in Vietnam and would love to sell some 3rd party controllers in my store. I've ordered a few times through Lazada for personal use... Who can i contact (in english) to possibly get bulk discounts for buying in bulk for re-selling purposes?

Do you have a USB-C to C Cable extender that is compatible with PSVR2? I cant find any on Lazada?

What is the difference between Original Guilkit KingKong 2 Pro vs. AKNES Guilkit Kingkong 2 Pro?

Aknes is a business / support partner for Gulikit (+8BitDo and RetroFlag). The controller is manufactured by Gulikit, not Aknes.
I think it's a bit more confusing now, because Aknes Store was the single oficial rep for Gulikit's products on Amazon, but now there's also Gulikit's Store - but it's still the same controller.

After the launch of KK3, KK2 Pro will also be discontinued.

I haven't heard of any brands that want to produce similar products.

I can explain your confusion.
Amazon's rule is that a brand can be authorized to sell by multiple sellers. If you see GuliKit branded products for sale on Amazon, you can pay attention to the seller profile, they are all third parties, and they are only allowed to use the GuliKit brand.
AKNES basically uses its own brand to sell GuliKit products.

Does that mean the KK3 still uses the same switches as the KK2 Pro?
That's a good question.
I actually haven't checked this yet, because GuliKit fixed the buttons on the KK3, even though they still look the same. But it is not confirmed whether it is universal at present.

That's good news. Are the KK3 switches tactile (with a pressing feedback / bump) or linear (no feedback, smooth press and return)?

Controller is on ICU, after 2 hours diagnosing, the main chip is not receiving voltage, could be the power chip damaged, seeking for expert help tomorrow.

I've been really impressed by your responsiveness, openness, and honesty when it comes to both your brand and the products you sell. It's a breath of fresh air. Thank you for that.

My question is what is the meaning behind the "AKNES" name? I'm curious about things like this sometimes and rarely is there an opportunity to get questions like this answered, so I'm taking a chance.

When creating this brand, We didn't realize that it would go to today, so the name is relatively random. AK is learning from ANKER, and NES is Nintendo's NES.
But my boss was not very familiar with English at that time, so he was not familiar with AKNE, hahahaha. It's embarrassing, I didn't realize it until I started the brand, but it's already known to consumers.
So do you have a good suggestion? Explanation about the name.
