There are only two mainstream Switch controllers that are officially made by Nintendo: Joy-Cons and a Pro controller.
There's also a Poké Ball Plus, a couple of Nintendo Switch Online controllers and, technically, those Switch Lite's "integrated Joy-Cons".
This website is great resource for officially released Nintendo accessories and stuff: https://www.lucklessheaven.com/

Other than that, there are a few companies like HORI that make Nintendo licensed controllers as well, but they are not made by Nintendo.

The rest are just controllers made for Switch and are sometimes significantly cheaper or a bit more expensive.

The one you have up there is definitely the cheaper one.

Thanks guys for the information, so this is the model LinYuvo KS42? and not the LinYuvo KS42-1?
 
Quick Google search didn't really return anything for the differences between the two, so I'm not really sure which one's which. I can't really help you out on this one. :/

SylverReZ, sent me a video with the LinYuvo KS42-1, but i cant also tell which one is one​

 
LinYuvo seem to sell a variety of controllers that replicate the form of other brands like Binbok/Doyoky, Nyxi &c. But maybe missing some features like Hall Effect sticks or mechanical buttons. The model you show seems to be a clone of the Nyxi Hyperion.

They are cheaper than the controllers they are based on, but will probably work OK.
