Your Xbox controller, on every platform
It's a shame to keep your favorite Xbox controller or Elite 2 on one platform. X One SE2 supports the Xbox Wireless Controller (USB-C version), Elite Series 2 and Elite Series 2 Core, and lets them play on PS5 and Switch 2. Modes switch with a slide switch, no PC needed. On Switch 2, connect by cable once to wake it, then unplug and play wireless.
Switch 2 test: motion and hold
6-axis motion works, so Mario Kart World's motion steering is fine, and turbo plus remapping help in Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment. My favorite is the hold function: Pokémon Pokopia has a lot of rock smashing and tree chopping early on, and one press handles it.
PS5: the touchpad works too
In PS mode, connect by cable once to register, then play wireless. Touchpad emulation through a button combo handles the swipe puzzles in Astro Bot. On Switch 2 the same button doubles as Home. Firmware updates come through Brook Converter Center.

PonPonLin's verdict
If you're loyal to the Xbox controller, one adapter saves you from buying a controller for every platform.
