This is an excellent controller at a fair price. However, if you are willing to search AliExpress for 8Bitdo SN30 Pro Bluetooth Wireless Gaming Controller and look for coupons, you can get it under $30 right now, with free shipping. It may take a week or more to get to you, however.
Have one and it's a great retro controller, but note that the R1 & L1 buttons are comically small!
The price on 8bitdo's Aliexpress store isn't attractive enough to deal w/ them over BB and Amazon IMO, only $4 less with a coupon. Can be had for cheaper from other sellers on Aliexpress, but YMMV with those guys.

That said: Amazon and Best Buy are more trustworthy than almost everything outside 8bitdo's Aliexpress store, when it comes to knockoffs. And returns are easier.

8bitdo's official store is on Aliexpress. I'm assuming the coupons are the ones AE gives out periodically

Yep, I just got the Ultimate C2 for Switch for $21.
It's $30 on Amazon.

Yes.
I don't remember which mode, but either "Windows Mode" (START + X) or "Android Mode" (START + B) would pair it to my Tesla.

do these controller have the same feel/buttons like the original SNES controllers? like this from nintendo for $30?
Super Nintendo Entertainment Systemâ„¢ Controller

i have tried a few controllers but it just doesnt feel like the original for games like street fighters etc. the closest are the buffalo usb wired ones i bought 10 years ago. still have them but unfortunately they dont work with the nintendo switch systems.

I have the Xbox variant of this. It feels similar but the shoulder buttons feel different due to the inclusion of L2/R2, and the joysticks add a different heft to it. honestly I think your best bet will be to buy the official ones from Nintendo if they're on sale

Would assume so but the 8bitdo website would be your best bet to validate as they have all their controllers listed out with pictures
