Excellent controller. I have 3. Plays nice with Apple products and Steam (PC and Deck).

8bitdo [8bitdo.com] has the Green one on sale for $48 too.

This is an excellent controller. Before anyone posts any misinformation (which is often the case on this controller's threads) -- this controller IS compatible with the Switch 2. You have update both the controller and the USB dongle with the latest firmware. And you have to start the controller while pressing the Y button. This starts the controller in switch mode. The USB dongle has to plugged into the switch 2. Since the switch 2 has a USB-C port on top, it is quite convenient since you don't need any special adapters. Just plug the dongle on top while console is docked. Switch compatibility was added a few months ago and 8bitdo doesn't advertise it much. So this causes much confusion with folks thinking this only works with PC.

Also this update brings with it direct mode support in steam. You need to start the controller while pressing while pressing the B button. Steam will then recognize it natively as an 8bitdo controller. You'll have to full gyro controls along with analog triggers.

Great deal, Switch players take note that the config you want is the bluetooth variant of this controller. It's on sale for $55 though: https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-...B0F194QFT2

I believe they pushed a firmware update for this to work on switch now. Maybe even switch too. Can't look too far into it, getting ready for work, here:

This one is now compatible with switch. You need to update the firmware, turn it on using the Y button and use the dongle.

Thanks for the clarification. Do you need one dongle for each controller? I plan to buy 2 controllers for the switch 2, an I'm not sure if they would both fit one next to another in the dock
