This thing is a higher profile d-pad for the Nintendo Switch Lite. The standard d-pad on the switch lite is quite low profile which can make diagonals difficult to input. This problem makes it incredibly difficult to use the d-pad with fighting games resulting in inaccurate quarter circle movements, down back to block, jumping, etc.

The replacement d-pad retains the same shape as the standard d-pad but is 1.5mm taller. The additional height stops the bottoming out on diagonals and gives a more pronounced feel for diagonal inputs.

Explanation of the problem with the existing d-pad (NihongoGamer):
