8BitDo has been my go-to for controllers for a few years now. I have the Ultimate and Ultimate 2 (Switch (also first I got, due to controller drift) and Steam deck respectively), Pro 2 (pc, Got used to FFXIV on ps2-lik3 controller) and even a SN30 Pro (not an intentional purchase; I got scammed when buying the Ultimate 2 then forgot to return it in time and afterwards tried it for the first time and decided to to eat the cost as my own stupidity).
I like em a ton, and they’re part of why I no longer am loyal to Logitech. Being loyal to them was a dumb decision anyway; I have much better replacements except for my HOTAS.
I like the SNES-inspired ones. It’s always been one of my favorite controller designs, so the same with the extra sticks and buttons needed for modern games is perfect for me.
Not for everyone because some don’t like how you have to let them “float” between your hands (no grip handles) and sometimes just don’t get how to grip them at all (not from the bottom but diagonally).
But they’re light and compact, and they’ve got that nice grainy texture like the SNES controller.
Now I’m sure they did it to avoid the lawsuit, but I wish they still existed in Super Famicom/EU Super NES colours. The gray/purple one is a bit boring.
I kinda like how 8BitDo looks with clear cases:

True, those don’t look too bad. The controller still looks a bit full, but I’ve seen worse.
