I ended up grabbing the Ultimate 2 Bluetooth and spent the last two days testing it on Switch and PC and I'm not sure I like it as much as I want to.

I ended up grabbing it because the SW2 Pro controller is unable to connect to anything else and I wanted something I could use for Wii U emulation.

I have two gripes with it:

• The handles are weirdly short and I don't like the angle. I knew I wouldn't like the angle as I've owned an 8bitdo controller before but the grips feel much stubbier then the Xbox controller or Dualsense and I feel like I don't have as good control.
• The extra bumpers are a little too easy to hit which is the opposite of my initial worry. I found while I was playing Halo that I would accidentally hit them while trying to hit the bumpers. I think it's simply the way I hold the controller as I wrap my fingers around and actually press the buttons behind the first knuckle and I keep my fingers between the triggers and bumpers so I can quickly move between the two.

I think I might just return both the Pro and the 8bitdo and just use the OG Pro controller I have since Switch 2 won't be my primary by any means.

Yeah, just keep the OG Pro man if you didn't find the new ones good...

I, on the other hand - and sorry for getting (kind of off topic) - couldn't be happier with the Ultimate 2C I've had for 3+ days :
Rumble is really really good, ergonomics also (for my hands at least), no disconnections whatsoever, HAL sticks and pretty good battery life - and this thing costs 30 Eurodollars? HOWWWW ?

The price to quality ratio just can't be beat on this thing, I'm actually amazed (for once ) and can't recommend it enough.

Yeah I hope there is a firmware update on the way that will loosen this restriction. As it stands you can use it with steam OS (or just steam) but you need to jump through too many hoops and load extra programs which is 100% not worth it IMO.

Other than that grip I do love the SW2 Pro controller but from a value perspective it cannot touch the 8BitDo range.
