In my experience 8BitDo makes nice products, but given the audience I have to ask... did anyone else's hands preemptively cramp just looking at this thing?

A couple thoughts on what it's primary use-case might be:

1) The thing is so small that it can fit in your pocket and you have it with you "all the time" to use with your phone/tablet/Switch console, whenever the mood strikes, even if you're away from home.

2) You have a cheap, perishable controller that you don't mind lending to visiting family/friends with small children who want to play your Switch console, but you're afraid they will break your $70 Switch Pro controller.

TBH, I've been thinking about these for my young kids. The small size is a plus in that regard.
