Does your Nintendo Switch have enough d-pads?

The 8bitdo Lite is a super thin, portable bluetooth controller with d-pads that replace the analog sticks. It's bizarre looking, but it's
fucntionality could come in handy in some situations (and be a detriment in others).

X-input works fine in android and as far as I know in mac os, if only with an xinput plugin. The advantadge of the android mode (old d-input that also works with windows and mac) and mac mode (actually mimics a PS4 controller) is that you can have the same device paired with many systems. My 8bitdo controllers are typically connected to my phone in android mode, pc in xbox mode, and the 8bitdo receiver in mac mode, for use with steam link on my smart tv. Oh, and of course, to my switch in switch mode

I got one of these for my regular switch and I'm loving it. It's genuinely great for Smash even if there are a few kinks to it, it's a great compromise between a regular controller with analogue controls and a smashbox. Just make sure to put tilts on the right stick/d-pad since you physically cannot do side tilts as with no delays between presses you get a smash attack and with any delay you get a dash attack. Speaking of, no walking which is another downside. But literally, no exaggeration, I've been playing better with it.

One of my new favorite controller. The d-pad is one of the bests I've felt. The size, the style, the click of all the buttons; this controller is amazing. The only way this controller could get any better is if they replaced the dual d-pads with dual circle pads (3ds circle pad). I can live without rumble but gyroscope/accelerometer would be very nice to have. Give to me a circle pad version and it will be my favorite controller. The toggle switch for different inputs is much better than a button combination. Keep the size and shape of everything and keep the click of the buttons and separated directional buttons. I have large hands and this controller fits perfectly. The shoulder buttons are great and everything is placed perfectly. I need more of this kind of controller. My favorite d-pad was originally the xbox one d-pad but this is right next to it on best d-pad.

I kind of wish the switch would have modular analog sticks. The 3ds sticks that didn't stick out were perfectly fine, now we have discreet sticks and they literally "stick out", get stuck in places, they have an under area where dust can get in, which is said to be the main reason for the drift, something people complain about a lot and it generally just ends up wearing down a lot when you throw the thing in your bag, like you're supposed to with a portable party console.

Another plus for this controller is that it works with the retro receiver for your NES/SNES classics, so you have the perfect retro contoller for those now as well.
