I'm pretty sure I could squeeze 2 of these into my switch case and have 4 controllers (including the joycons).

Please understand that I must bring Overcooked to every social function until the friend group falls apart.

I use the predecessor, the 8BitDo Zero 2 to study my Anki Decks. A recommendation I found on TikTok by medical students. The Device can pair as different devices, which makes it flexible. For instance, it can enter a Keyboard mode, where the Gamepad doesn't send Gamepad API buttons, but presents itself as a keyboard with buttons being mapped to keys like k, l, h, j, etc.

This make hacking together a solution for niche use-cases a breeze.

This actually looks perfect for me. I travel often with my steam deck, and sometimes pack an xbox controller or two to play local multiplayer with friends but this is a much less bulky alternative.

I could see keeping a pair of these in my backpack as a nice way to game with my son if the opportunity arises. Assuming the context is appropriate. Airplane, train, waiting room, etc.

Would I trade this for a full-size at home? No, obviously not.

Some people have tiny hands. Kids, for example, have tiny hands. It looks similar to a Switch controller. Not something you can go all day on, but good enough for a few rounds of Mario Kart.

This would be great as a player 2 controller to play Switch games with your kid e.g. waiting at the airport, doctor's office, etc.
