At any rate, for me this is kind of the perfect controller for people that need a smaller simpler feel. If could change anything about it, I would seperate out the shoulder buttons a tiny bit. Theres like a millimeter between them and I accidentally hit the wrong one sometimes.
Zelda, Kart, Party, Dead Cells, Crysis… use it for anything. growing up on SNES I don't mind the form factor at all.
Only one minor gripe if your particular. They are creaking, just like old SNES controllers would. Couldn't care less. They feel just perfect for emulation.
Regarding your issues: are you 100% you're connecting them in switch mode? (Start+y)

Works fine on PC, Pi's etc. But I bought it for the switch for Nintendo online/retro indies and didn't feel $40 was worth not using on the console I intend it for

Yup. That was my first thought, there must be an update so I found the installer on their site, connected to the PC and went through that, was like one version behind latest. Zero difference..like I said, it's an issue with the Switch and it's Bluetooth radio. Check reddit or just do a web search and you'll see others have the same issue with 8bitdo and Nintendo switch.
Not trying to slander them. I bought the NS 30 years ago for a PI emulation station I built my brother and shelled in a mini NES. Works perfect. And I would definitely buy again but not anything for the switch.
It's possible one of their wireless adapters plugged in would help but I wasn't buying another product to get one to work, would be over what a pro controller would cost me

I own two SN30 Pro for years now (Famicon + game boy style). Using them for switch, PC, Mac. No problem what so ever. Note, that I'm not playing competitively or anything... ymmv.

Yeah the pro 2 has a switch on the back. It was set to S (switch) and had issues.

This reads exactly like somebody who didn't update the firmware which 8-bitdo makes it super easy to do.
This is genuinely the best controller I've picked up for the switch and well hands down one of the best Bluetooth controllers ever made for an amazing price.
Mind you I use this on the very first release of the switch so it's not even revision one of the switch if anybody were to have bad Bluetooth connection it would be me and I'm telling you I have no issues just make sure you update the firmware.

I have the opposite experience with the sn30 Pro on switch. It's my go-to controller and have never had an issue. And the switch is docked in the next room about twenty feet away, behind a wall.

This reads like someone who didn't read. I did update it and still had issues. I'm just giving my experience. Wasn't going to go through a return when I saw threads about others having the same issue. Mine was the new SN Pro 2, maybe the newer ones don't pair well with the switch. I have a launch switch.
