First question is do you already have an arcade stick you use and like?
The switch is one of the most supported consoles out there as far as controllers go, you really shouldn't have much trouble finding an adapter that works, Hell some newer sticks work and aren't even listed as working.
The stock F300 is about $60 and for a basic entry level stick is good. (The one in the previous picture is mine after I modded it)
It's also compatible with a bunch of other stuff.
An upgraded version that comes with Sanwa parts already installed is also available for around $100.
It's called the F300 Elite.

They also make a physically larger stick called the F500 that has a standard & Elite version.
It's a little more expensive and on a do-over I might have bought one of these instead.
F500
MONOPRICE of all places has a decent looking stick that comes from the factory with Sanwa parts for about $120.
I'm dumb so I keep thinking about buying it.
8Bitdo Makes a wireless one that works.
Ive heard mixed reviews about it but it's probably ok.
Hori was making a nice looking official stick for a while, you would probably have to get one of these from eBay now.
If you're wanting something with OG HAPP/IL (American style) lever/buttons you pretty much have to go custom these days.

I use the 8bitdo wireless stick. Ordered Sanwa stick and buttons bundle from Amazon and just swapped out the stock stuff. I have better quality sticks I could use but find myself always using the 8bitdo just for convenience. I have the 2.4g dongle hooked up to my mister and purchased the Bluetooth dongle for my pc. It pairs to the switch without the need for a dongle.

If you want to customize it to your likings, the mayflash F500 is awesome - it also does come with very decent stock buttons/lever.

I think the PS2 one is. I replaced the buttons on that one with some knock off happ competitions that started ok then turned to shit.
The current plan is to completely gut it then install a industrias lorenzo euro lever and try to fit some sanwa buttons to make a hybrid of sorts.
Run it off the new brook universal fusion.
The NEO•GEO stick it 101% OG Happ competition lever and buttons (convex).

The pelican sticks?
No. They were pretty good copies though.
The stock buttons however were absolute garbage.

I've had this Jasen's Custom stick for like a decade. It weighs about 100 lbs and is wired for Neo Geo. Excellent stick.
I bought the 8BitDo this weekend to play Mario Wonder on as my wrists/elbows suffer from injuries now as an old man. I've never played Mario with a stick before and it took some getting used to but now I really like playing that way. For a $90 stick this 8BitDo is impressive.
