8Bitdo Wireless USB Adapter 2 for Switch, Windows, Mac & Steam Deck, Compatible with Xbox Series X & S Controller, Xbox One Bluetooth Controller, Switch Pro and PS5 Controller (Black)

Came updated on the latest firmware. You can map it with the windows app. But otherwise you can pair and use as is. I play switch with motion controls like a native joycon with my Dualshock 4. Its amazing. It only pairs with one controller are a time.

In order to use the ultimate software and Nintendo switch with an Xbox Elite Controller you must first downgrade your controller firmware. On a Windows 10/11 pc download the xbox accessories app. Then on your desktop right click and create a new shortcut. For the location paste: xboxaccessories:\firmwareupdate?legacyDowngrade=true After the shortcut is created connect your controller to your pc via usb then open the shortcut. It should show an option for downgrade controller firmware. After it is complete you can now use your elite controller with your switch and 8bitdo adapter. This is not an issue with the 8Bitdo adapter it is an issue with Microsoft software.

just keep in mind if you plan to use PS5 control you need to update the usb 8bitdo

I can play ps classic with DualShock 3 controller. Setup was a bit of a pain, trying to configure the adapter to the controller. Thankfully there was a helpful video online

This thing does what it promises and it looks great. Kudos. Wanted something like this for ages.

Whats great about this adapter is you can practically use any controller with the Switch. My go-to is the PS5 DualSense controller. My two problems with it are (1) its a bit big, and (2) the 8Bitdo ultimate software does not allow for held button macros, which makes macros for most things useless (so cant do a long jump macro in Mario Odyssey). If they made it half the size, similar to the 8Bitdo Ultimate controllers 2.4ghz adapter and made macros more usable it would be 5 stars. Another issue that cropped up is after the last PS5 update I could no longer pair my PS5 DualSense controller. They did end up fixing it would a firmware update after about a week. So if you run into that issue, make sure you download their firmware updater.

Albeit it being the same kind of structure as the 1st gen apart from some improvements in the signal and now being able to take Xbox Controllers. I still feel this is a good step in the right direction for this device. With the 1st Gen I had on occasion disconnects from supported controllers on PC. Consoles it was working fine no disconnects. With the Gen 2 I no longer have an issues with them. Make sure to update it to the latest firmware. I paid about 16.99 + tax for this on a Lightning deal which do come often for this device. Add it to your wishlist and keep an eye on the sales! Works great with PC and other devices

I read the reviews saying this was not compatible with the nes/snes classic mini. I am stubborn and decided to try it anyway. I did not update the firmware on the 8bitdo usb. I never plugged anything into my computer. I just plugged the adapter into my OTG cable and my Pas4 controller synced. It thinks it’s an Xbox 360 controller and the light is green on the controller instead of blue or red. Both analog buttons work. Both bumpers work, the L2 is Z and R2 changes to c buttons and both analog sticks work. I was going to send this back, but if it’s working, I’ll keep it. I also played N64 Super Smash Bros. The d pad don’t work, but left stick does and seemed fully playable. Playing Link, I can even do special attacks and pull out bombs and throw them. Anyone else had luck with this and is there anything negative I need to know about this before I make a final decision on it?

The setup process was quick and easy, and the adapter ensures a lag-free gaming experience. The compatibility is outstanding, allowing me to connect my favorite controllers effortlessly

I used this to connect my PS4 controller to my switch and it works but it required some setup and following a guide. Haven’t tried it with anything else but it does work.
