Is this the first third-party controller that can wake the Switch 2 from sleep? For just $30, the GuliKit Elves 2 might just be the best budget controller you can buy for your Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, PC, or mobile device!

In this review, we take a look at the brand new GuliKit Elves 2 controller. I was shocked to find out this cute, ergonomic gamepad packs in high-end features like Hall-Effect analog sticks for no stick drift, a fantastic SEGA-style D-pad, and solid rumble, all for an incredible price. We'll see how it feels in-game.

While the "wake from sleep" feature for the Switch 2 didn't quite work on my pre-release firmware, the potential is huge. Is this the perfect, affordable "Player 2" controller you've been waiting for? Let's find out!
