Comment on How many Nintendo Switches do I need for a family of gamers?

If you want extra controllers I recommend the 8-bit-do controllers. They are cheaper than Nintendo. The ones I have work on switch, Xbox, pc, android, iOS, etc. they also sell a dongle to work on many more consoles. (I use the dongle on Linux and allows me to play wireless).
I already agree with most of the comments here, just wanted to add info about 3rd party controllers.

Is there a single controller that I can use on switch, Xbox and pc?

That’s literally what they said.

They said “the ones I have”, as in multiple. So I was wondering. That’s because I went on the 8bitdo website and I looked at several categories. The Xbox ones listed only various Xbox models under connectivity, the Bluetooth ones only listed Switch, the 2.4G and wired ones only listed Windows and Android.

Yeah, that would be an Xbox controller.
You then need to buy a dongle for the Switch, and that’s what the guy above is talking about. If you do that, you can play on all your mentioned devices with only one controller.
