Give me Reasons Why I Should Get the Gulikit KingKong 2 over the 8bitdo Ultimate (lemmy.fmhy.ml)

After some research I've narrowed down my options into these two controllers.

Use-case:

Mostly PC gaming (It Takes Two, PS2 Emulation, etc.), Android Gaming (probably Emulation as well).
Also my little brother has a Switch and it would be awesome to have another controller for that as well.

Why these two?

They are available locally (Philippines) and within the budget.
Both have Hall Effect Joysticks
Both have good reviews and hopefully have good build quality

Why am I leaning towards 8bitdo Ultimate?

Mostly because I think they are the same but 8bitdo has the back buttons.

For what it's worth, I've been using an 8bitdo controller for years. I have one that was destroyed by my kids, and my other has been experiencing some odd issues with using rechargeable batteries draining even when it's turned off. I'm not sure what has caused the battery issues, but this is after probably 3 years of constant use so I've gotten my money's worth. I'm considering a new one but I have so many controllers as is it's just not worth it.
