Don't get it. The triggers don't last under use. Get the ones with Hall Effect triggers and sticks. All magnets.

Sweet controller but the Ultimate 2 is absolutely worth it, the bumpers are a million times better and the extra buttons by the triggers are incredibly handy. I regret buying this one and wish I would have just bought the Ultimate 2 right away. Looks like its only 8 bucks more right now:

Looks like this is the old version? I see an "Ultimate 2" for more money.

FYI, this is the model that is natively compatible with the Switch, so it has the Nintendo BAXY layout versus the Xbox ABXY layout. No dongle is needed to sync to Switch.

The Ultimate 2 is currently $8 more, but has much better TMR sticks, switchable triggers (hall effect linear triggers and non-linear clicky triggers), and extra buttons. There is also a firmware update for both the controller and dongle that enables Switch and Switch 2 support. Additionally, for Switch 2, it supports "shake to wake" (turn the controller on, shake the controller, and it will wake Switch 2).

The only downside (aside from price) is that you MUST use the dongle to get it to work on Nintendo Switch. You can achieve this by connecting the dongle directly to the Switch or leaving it in the controller's charging dock and connecting the charging dock to your Switch instead. Either way, you'll need to enable "Pro Controller Wired Communication" in your Switch settings to make it work correctly.

I am 99% sure the "shake to wake" feature for the Switch 2 only works with the Bluetooth model.

I have the xbox version of this and one of them has d-pad issues. As much as I enjoy the controller shape and comfort, it's super annoying to have a flaky d-pad where it get stuck either up or down. I'd recommend getting the newer Ultimate 2 with newer triggers and bumpers instead.

Same here. However, I own both the black and white colorway for both the Ultimate Bluetooth 1 and Ultimate Bluetooth 2 series of controllers. I mainly use the white Ultimate 1 controller. Was able to beat Spiderman 2 on PC earlier this year using that controller.

They're not the same since the one in the OP has native Switch 1 support w/ the Nintendo button layout as opposed to the one you referenced which is only native to PC/Android and has the XBox button layout.
