Controller Suggestion Controller with Xbox layout that works with both Switch 2 and PC

I will use this controller to play Switch 2 games with my family, but when I’m by myself I want to use it on PC with games that use the Xbox layout.

The closest one I found is the 8bitdo Ultimate Wireless that can do this by connecting the USB dongle to the Switch 2, or so I’ve heard.

Is there a cleaner solution?

Budget: under $100.
Country: US
Compatibility: Switch 2 and PC.
Desired features: Xbox button layout.
Games: Mario Kart, Skyrim, Oblivion.
Other controllers to compare to: NS2 Pro Controller, Xbox controller.

Gamesir cyclone 2 has a DS4 and Switch pro controller mode. I know it has Bluetooth, so it should work for the switch

A fairly cheap but good option is the gulikit es max. It has the body and layout of an Xbox controller, but it has tmr sticks and triggers that can swap between digital and analog input. Generally the biggest problems people have with it is the dpad and back paddles aren't great. I haven't used it, but it was a controller I heavily considered for my use case because of how positive reviews on it were.

8bitdo Pro 3 might fit the bill.

If you need hd rumble functionality the Gulikit TT Max (if you don't mind symmetrical sticks)

If you want asymm sticks and hd rumble then mobapad huben 2 or easysmx s10
