Is there a decent controller that is compatible with both the Apple TV and Nintendo Switch

Any recommendations appreciated.

You can use Sony's DualSense controller (designed for PS5) with Apple TV and Nintendo Switch.

I think the XBox controllers are also compatible.

I’ve been using this and it’s made for the Switch. I use it with my tv and iPad. You have to have the tv paired to Mac mode (Start A) and the iOS device mapped to X-input (Start X). Switch mode is paired to Start Y. This controller is also available with a grip.

Interesting. It looks like you need an adapter. Which ones are you guys using?

I like this the most. I was looking at the Pro2, but it seems it is Mac and iOS compatible, but not Apple TV.

I was just reading on the setup for them. They use Bluetooth. So. It needs to be a version of the controllers which support Bluetooth. Only a few Xbox controllers support this. I couldn't say for the PS controllers.

Good info. 8bitdo have confirmed that their controllers are compatible with iOS/iPadOS/macOS but but not tvOS. I wonder why.

It works. My friend has one.

They are compatible, but  requires them to not support the other platforms on the same controller in order to get MFI certification.

The Pro2 seems like the best Switch controller. So when I get a Switch I’ll buy one and we will see.

Cheers for the info.
