Pros & Cons
Pros
This controller has all of the major base features of a modern controller. Smaller form factor means it's more portable. This is an awesome alternative to getting a pro controller.
Cons
I'm very disapointed in how this item turned out. The customer support is downright awful. This makes it impossible to play splatoon 3 or breath of the wild, as this button is critical to both games.
Highlights
Quality
This is a quality controller that works with my nintendo switch.
The buttons and sticks are high quality and responsive, and seems to stand up to vigorous play(been using it as a second player... Read More
But they feel large if you're gaming in bed with the ipad up in your face.
I haven't played any fighting games with the controller, but i did try to play a 3d adventure game.
Price
I feel that 8bitdo does well in how accurately they described their product and the price suits their products.
Competitiveness
8bitdo has done what nintendo hasn't seen a need to do: make a dpad controller for the switch.
I have purchased 8bitdo conversion kits before but these were my first controllers purchased from them.
Unlike other 8bitdo controller there is less connectivity features.
Works fine but ergonomics are not as good as other 8bitdo controllers just not a good fit and too small for me.

They still register but the tactile click is completely gone and the buttons are soldered to the board on their side rather than the standard bottom contacts so not easily replaceable

I did however deal with a problem where the controller stopped working and 8bitdos support team did an amazing job communicating with resolving the issue

Buttons are mushy and it all feels like if nintendo made a controller that mimics the design of the switch lite

Where other controllers allow you to switch style by holding a specific face button while powering on typically yswitch xxinput aios bandroid this controller lacks that and instead has a physical twostate switch on the top center of the front face of the controller that can switch between s for switch and d for dinput or essentially android
