It appears to be a Class 10 card and have speeds around 90 MB read 25 MB write. Fair compared to a 64 Samsung EVO with 90 MB read 80 MB write priced at $12.
This is a UHS-I Class10 card. The highest bus speed that the Switch can support is UHS-1; I personally think this is the most important of the two ratings, so we good on that front. However, the Switch could benefit from a card with faster write speeds. I personally have a UHS-I U3 card in my Switch which I think is regarded as the best card on all fronts for the Switch. A Class10 like this card (AKA "U1") would take longer to write to memory than my U3 card. Other than that, the bus speed of my card compared to this card are identical...
"UHS" rating relates to bus speed; UHS-I is slower than UHS-III for example.
The separate "U" rating relates to write speed (Class10 is the same as U1); U1 has slower write speeds than U3 for example.
TLDR; yes this card will work fine, but no it's not the most optimized option. UHS-I U3 is regarded as best option for Switch.

I really don't expect either this or the Delkin are like world-beaters in terms of speed and quality, so they're indifference to me.
