Great controller that SUPPORTS the Switch
I loved the colour and watched a few video reviews all praising the 8bitdo Ultimate controller, including its dock. After doing hefty searching online, I found out how to connect it to the Switch. You need to switch on "Pro Controller Wired Communication" from "Controller and Sensors" in System Settings, then plug in the included receiver dongle. Finally, you need to press and hold 'minus' + 'LB' together until your Switch shows it has paired with the controller. I had it on 'X' input from the toggle switch on the back of the controller. Ignore the fact 'Switch' isn't mentioned, nor the lack of Bluetooth. This controller is definitely 100% compatible with the Switch. I've also tried it on the original and OLED models too. The latter through a 3rd party dock.Update: with the new system update, you might need to use another controller to select it (greyed out) from the "Find new controllers" section.

Street Fighter Fans Beware
A very good controller, but if you play any of the Street Fighter games get something else.I found the D-pad to be very mushy and pulling of moves very difficult.

Great controller at a sensible price
Very well made, nice weight, very good sticks and decent d-pad. I find I actually prefer this to the official X-Box controller.

"Apple compatibility" needs a much larger asterisk
Subjectively, it's a bit small and the buttons a bit mushy for my comfort.Objectively, getting it to work on macOS is a pain in the bum. I gave it a solid try, but ended up returning the thing. I got as far as the home button opening the macOS task switcher, but not a single one of my Steam games recognised the controller at all. I'm not saying the mappings were wrong; the buttons just didn't do anything. Oh, and the 2.4G dongle isn't supported in macOS at all, so you're stuck to either Bluetooth or cable -- so you may as well get a much cheaper option anyway!

2.4G unreliable
I face pretty frequent disconnection to my PC, I've read online that 2.4G seems to have some problem with USB3 ports, where it could interfere with the transmission and cause disconnection issues, but I've followed the advice from 8bitdo's website to put the received dongle inside the charging dock, and yet I'm still facing disconnection issues.The controller feels great in hand, great design and quality material, it is a shame that it keeps disconnecting.
