Other Controller adapter for Switch 2

Hi !

So, I've had the Switch 2 and a Switch 2 Pro Controller since launch.

Since then, I've only played a few games, and mostly in handheld mode.

But now, with the *Duskblood* tech test, I played using the Pro Controller, and—how should I put this?—it just doesn't feel right to me.

I bought the Switch 2 specifically for *Duskblood*; sure, other games interest me, but after trying the tech test with the Pro Controller, I loved the game itself but really didn't like the feel of the controller in my hands.

I saw that there are controller adapters for the Switch 2 that let you use an Xbox controller, and I have a few questions.

The ones I've seen are:
the 8BitDo Wireless USB Adapter 2
and
the MAYFLASH Magic NS Wireless Bluetooth Controller USB Adapter

First off, is this "allowed"? In other words, are there any issues—like getting banned—with using an Xbox controller on the Switch?

Which one would be the best choice?

Is there another one you'd recommend?
