Which should you buy?
These two are evenly matched on the broad strokes; the decision sits on which individual spec advantages weigh more for your use.
The Pro 3 does not pull ahead on any single popular-comparison spec — its strengths sit in the spec-table groups rather than the headline advantages.
The KingKong 3 Max similarly does not carry a headline advantage on the popular specs — look at the full table for category-specific deltas.
Both ship with comparable hall-effect sticks, back paddles, adaptive triggers, so those specs do not separate the two — focus on the differences below.
Bottom line: there is no wrong answer here — match the spec advantages to how you actually use the product. The Mars Score parity says both are well-rounded; the differences are about trade-offs, not quality.
