Additional Details

This one is a new model from 8bitdo: https://www.8bitdo.com/ultimate-c-2.4g-wireless-controller/

It does not use a Bluetooth connection, it came with a usb dongle to connect (or via USB Cable). The user manual describe it have full suport on Windows, Android and Raspberry devices (wired, like any USB Controler or using the USB Dongle). I tried both modes on Switch, but the Switch cannot recognize the controler. When i connect the dongle on Switch, the Control Pair with the dongle, but the switch cannot recognize. If i can make any other tests or provide any other informations, let me know. Thanks.

Mission Control doesn't currently support USB controllers.

Yes, eventually. Current focus is Bluetooth support though.

I it compatible with switch on usb (pair it on x input and hold minus and LB til rumble) it is also now bluethoot compatible on android and ios. Is there a posibility to support it?

[ndeadly]

@adrirogi07 as far as I can tell this is a different 2.4G version that doesn't have Bluetooth support https://www.8bitdo.com/ultimate-c-2.4g-wireless-controller/ vs https://www.8bitdo.com/ultimate-2.4g-wireless-controller/

Only the latter mentions Bluetooth support for mobile platforms in the user manual.

now that the 8BitDo Ultimate 2.4G Wireless Controller works this controller could also work?

[ndeadly]

See the comment(s) above. I don't think this version supports Bluetooth

[VichoBaezaR]

no, it doesnt but neither the 8BitDo Ultimate 2.4G Wireless Controller, the version that has bluetooth is 8Bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth Controller and it has native compatibility with the switch. Anyway thank you for answer me, your project is amazing.

but neither the 8BitDo Ultimate 2.4G Wireless Controller

It does, actually, though they don't seem to mention it anywhere outside of the user manual. The manual for the C variant doesn't have the section on Bluetooth pairing. Unless they've just forgotten to mention Bluetooth in the manual, the C variant will require USB support.
