It's been a good couple of years if you play games with a controller and use what's known as a "claw grip". Back buttons aren't the best feature to have on a gamepad in this situation, because the hands sit higher up on the grips to make better use of triggers and bumpers. But these players still need extra utility from pro gamepads, and that's where extra bumpers come in handy. While Scuf and Razer have been catering to this grip style on other platforms, there aren't really equivalents for Switch players.
8BitDo's new Ultimate 2C controller, however, may be the godsend gamepad some players have been searching for. Packed with two additional shoulder buttons on its top, it has the same functionality and mapping capabilities that pads with back buttons do. Along with a select few of the best Nintendo Switch controllers, it has Hall Sensor thumbsticks to make it immune to the nasty stick drift you may have run into with the Switch's Joy-Con controllers.
