I was able to get these to work on the Steam Deck using xboxdrv with udev triggers, to convert the Android inputs to Xbox pad. They stow in my backpack perfectly and give me durable, comfortable Xbox controllers on the go.
Some people don't like the south-aligned sticks, I prefer them. The analog triggers work fine, and the actuation distance for the digital press can be tweaked—a common complaint is that it is in the middle of the trigger pull from factory. It connects to Bluetooth quickly enough and has enough buttons to cover a full Xbox controller. The face buttons are well spaced for larger hands.
The only negative is that 8BitDo is likely contractually unable to update the firmware to allow for a saner button mapping or the PS/Xbox/PC/Switch hotswap support like with their other controllers. If only they sold the regular SN30's with analog triggers and full Xbox buttons...
