8BitDo Ultimate Bluetooth Controller

Are there plans to add support for the 8BitDo Ultimate Bluetooth Controller?

There is some info from dmesg and lsusb in case it's helpful. I believe that's the xinput mode.

Here's from Switch mode as well:

There are no plans to add support for any new controller. The most likely reason why your controller isn't working is because your controller does not support the vitas older bluetooth standard and simply cannot connect to it. There is no way to fix this, unfortunately.

I actually hadn't tried the plugin yet, or pairing with bluetooth (just wired). I figured it wouldn't work since it wasn't in the list of supported controllers. I've installed the plugin and followed the instructions in the README now. I got it to pair and connect, but the buttons don't do anything, I can't move around in the menus. Does this mean it doesn't work?

edit: It's listed as Pro Controller, so it maybe paired as a Switch controller instead of in xinput mode. The manual isn't very clear on how (or if you can) to use xinput + bluetooth. For use on a PC it seems to suggest using the 2.4G receiver instead of bluetooth, so maybe bluetooth only has Switch mode.

I confirmed via some Amazon reviews that the xinput mode is not available while using bluetooth, so supporting bluetooth would be similar to supporting a Switch Pro controller. Since that wouldn't be covered by this plugin, I'll close this issue.
