The firmware update for PS5 compatibility works for FIGHTING GAMES ONLY with most sticks/controllers. If you buy one and it doesn't work out of the box check and update the firmware on the Magic-S Ultimate. Here is the link directly to Mayflash's site with instructions: www.mayflash.com/Support/MAGIC_S_Ultimate_USB_Wireless_Adapter_MV106_SV131.html In the video my Dualshock 4 was not connecting because I was not using a DATA cable. Once I used a data cable to connect with on the USB stick it worked. This will also pair it to the Bluetooth of the mayflash so you can use it wireless. So if you want to use it on your ps4 again make sure to pair it again with a data cable. This should be the case with any Bluetooth controller. Make sure you're using the right kind of cable!
Great vid, I was looking for videos showing the 1.06 firmware in action. Now I'm definitely buying this one instead of the much more expensive Brook FGC.
I have a Magic S Ultimate, updated to newest firmware, trying to play PS5 games with a Wii U Pro controller. It connects to the dongle just fine, and I can control the menu just fine, but when I try to play a game, it says "this type of controller cannot be used with PS5 games". Any suggestions?
@@Nidstang_ yep. I sent an email to Mayflash about it a few weeks ago and that's the response they gave me. A bit disappointing. But they are focused on fighting games more than general usage. Hopefully they make patch to allow compatibility with all games. For now it's essentially limited.
@@WaifuSticks its v1.06 it has to be specifically the Magic-S Ultimate. I know mayflash just has page for all their firmware. I think its from September 2023.
@@KeijiMaeda86 Thank you for the confirmation. I had some difficulties when testing last week. Maybe it was the controller I was using. I'll double check and try again.
@@KeijiMaeda86 Hi again friend. Thought I’d contact you again. It seems there is 3 versions of 1.06. (1.31/1.32/1.33). Only one of them works for PS4/5 fighting games. This might help with the riddle of why some can/can’t get it working.
@@dringdring6270 it would be limited by your controller itself. Otherwise yes. For example if you use a controller without a TouchPad then any TouchPad functions wouldn't work obviously.
@@KeijiMaeda86thank you, it's a bit confusing because on their website it's clearly indicated for ps4 but not for ps5, on the dongle itself also wrote ps4.
@@dringdring6270 yes, the website could be better managed. Originally it didn't work this way. It was a firmware update that allows it. That being said if you buy one and it doesn't work out of the box on your ps5. Get the latest update from their site
Magic-X is specifically for Xbox series x/s. Functionality is the same. If you got an Xbox console I'd suggest getting the magic X. They got a few different versions out, one for each console basically. Dunno if it's just marketing, but to be on the safe side I'd suggest buying the one for the console you have.
@@KeijiMaeda86 OK thank you I do have a Series X so I'll be getting that one then, and do you know if the Apex 4 controller is compatible with the Magic-X?
@@joshuadavis5503 yeah, it's on their site. Depending on what you get shipped and how long its been sitting in a warehouse the firmware might be old. If you have connectivity issues. Updating to latest firmware for the Magic-X should fix it. www.mayflash.com/Support/list-36-2.html
I am not sure. From my understanding mayflash has 3 main lines of usb dongles. S(ony), X(box), and NS(witch). Ultimate-S is their latest that with the most recent firmware allowing controllers to work on PS5. S-Pro is the previous generation and doesn't seem compatible with ps5 the way the ultimate is. Which would explain the $20 price difference now. If you want a pro-s to use on last gen (ps4, x1, and switch) you should be good. If you meant to use it on a PS5 like in the video then no. You should buy the Ultimate

Is this firmware update only limited to magic-s ultimate? Does it work with the magic-ns or magic-pro 2?
@@bssbshs i don't know. Don't own that. Look it up the firmware for that dongle

Thanks for the gameplay and verification I was thinking if they'd launched a PS5 version of this I'll be getting it next month
Thank you! There’s a lot of conflicting information out there, seems like most people don’t even care to update their firmwares
Hi bro, this Magic Ultimate will work with an Xbox Series X controller?
@@EstebanSolanoCordero yes, just remember to update the driver
you might have to download the update allot of poeple dont know you have to download the firmware you have too hit the share and ps button bro

@@Nidstang_ it's for fighting games only. what game are you trying to play?
@@KeijiMaeda86 Kind of weird that it would be for fighting games only. It works on other consoles for any game.

Well that sucks. At least it works with Switch properly

@@WaifuSticks I'll look into it and post link it on pinned
I’ve got a dragonslay fight stick do you know if you think it would work?
Chances are that it will there are other videos people testing some rather random stuff that works with it.
Does the analog sticks work also? You could try with the dualshock 3. Asking because brook fgc ps5 adapter does not support analog sticks
Yes. The thumbsticks worked on my controllers. Sorry I didn't show it in the video.
@@KeijiMaeda86does it work with ps5 games like elden ring?

What's the difference between the Mayflash Magic X vs Mayflash S Ultimate?
Magic-X is specifically for Xbox series x/s. Functionality is the same. If you got an Xbox console I'd suggest getting the magic X.
