For people wondering, I've been playing tears of the kingdom with it and it works great. No noticeable lag, motion control and vibration. Everything works.
@Maria Clara Tavares yes, it works perfectly. Some tips to save everyone a search: 1- update the adapter. 2- After pairing the controller to the switch, if it doesn't work, hold the share and up button for 5 seconds. If it's still not working, hold share and L1 👍
It does. Just tested in Tears of the Kingdom and the rumble when you do physical attacks works the same beyeeen the joy cons and my PS5 Controller with the adapter.
Another thing to add, make sure you updated both your adapter AND the controller before trying to sync them. I couldn’t get mine to work until I updated my controllers and it worked fine . Of course, you have to use a pc or laptop to update them
You said you need a pc to update them (not a series x controller at least, you can update through the xbox) but how tf do you even update the usb stick? Does it just automatically update as soon as you plug the thing in or what
One major suggestion I would make toward the 8bitdo adapter is purchasing an USB extension cord with a power switch on the cord itself. The major benefit is that you can effectively disconnect the controller WITHOUT having to unplug the 8bitdo OR turning off your switch. Additionally, when you disconnect the PS5 dualsense controller via this method of switching off the 8bitdo via the USB extension cord with the power switch, it will shortly thereafter turn off the controller. You can simply turn on the switch on the USB extension cord and press the "home" button on the PS5 and reconnect incredibly simply this way as well. This also makes it possible to attach two controllers off the side, where in the video it was a challenge to do so. HOWEVER, you can also use a USB 3.0 Hub to connect even more controllers if you would like!! I would recommend connecting the USB hub to the 3.0 USB Port located on the back of the Pre-OLED Switch Dock, since it is specifically designed for faster input/output communications. If you have a 3.0 USB Hub with 4 ports, like my own, you could effectively connect 4 8bitdos while still leaving the ports on the left side of the Switch Dock for the Game Cube controller dongle for Smash Brothers, for example. Hope this additional information is insightful and helps many of you who wish to connect a multitude of Playstation or Xbox controllers to your Switch for Smash Brothers competitions or Mario Kart nights with friends!! :). (Note: The USB hub can cause the 8bitdo connection to not automatically pull through, simply reset the connection of the 8bitdo by turning off and on the USB extension cord explained earlier and you should be good to go! :D )
This might not have been the case when the video came out but color is not an indicator of the version; V2 is now also available in "orange". The real way to tell them appart is that the V2s have a large 2 on the front... but apparently yours doesn't so that ALSO seems to have changed in the meantime.
I thank you very much, you helped me to make it work correctly, for a moment despite the fact that my unit was damaged but I only had to activate that configuration
The only difference I have seen between both versions is the UBS Wireless 2 has Bluetooth 4.0 (compatibility with Xbox Series, Xbox One Bluetooth controllers)
Wait a second... There's a USB port in the dock? Mine don't have it and it's OLED? Edit: OK you've said "pre OLED" so OLED versions don't have that... Fudge.
The gen1 has a firmware update to fix the Xbox issue. I suspect the main FEATURE difference between gen1 and gen2 NOW is the upgrade from bluetooth 2.1 to 4.0 hardware.
Hi, thanks for the video! One thing I didn't understand is that the newer versions of the adapter 2, actually have the number 2 on the dongle itself, I thought I bought a knockoff for a second there :))
For dualsense connecting to PC how is this better than just buying a generic bluetooth 5 adapter online? Does it have better signal? etc Just wondering if its worth it considering its double the price of a asus branded bt dongle.
I had the og one and used to work great no problem now no matter what I cant get it or the new one to work on the switch. It pairs to the dongle but wont show up on the console for nothing. Nintendos controller method is kinda fd up anyways with the whole wake not being standard.
Technically it works but it puts the Dualsense at a disadvantage. On PC the adapter makes steam recognize the Dualsense as an xbox controller, which mean no gyro support for shooters. The Dualsense gyro is also not as sensitive as the official switch pro, so if you're playing Splatoon you'll be at a disadvantage against switch pro gyro players.
@@von_dn7783 Just with a blue tooth adapter. Steam input supports playstation controllers with button/gyro customization but haptic feedback/trigger adaptive triggers aren't typically supported in PC games. DSX which is a couple of bucks of the steam store, allows you to add your own custom adaptive trigger settings and there's a wealth of options there. I personally use reWASD because it functions better than steam input and has adaptive trigger settings also but it's a bit on the pricey side. Out of the 2 just get the Dualsense. It's the only controller that has a magnetometer on the gyro, which makes it way more stable. Not as sensitive as the switch pro gyro but that can be altered on PC anyway. The headphone jack won't work in wireless mode though.
Aw that's handy not having to repair everything. Which is extremely annoying. I don't need one right away I will wait until I paid off some stuff buying games and getting new switch has left me well skint.
Thank you so much! Just the information I needed. I have a question. Is the input lag a thing? Let's say I want to play smash with an Xbox controller and be good. Is the latency cool?
@@dxrbkn5145 it's actually pretty good no, like, I'm surprised. I genuinely thought it would be terrible but it's pretty convenient I have only one issue but I don't think that's their fault it's that you can only connect one controller per usb and I don't have the money or the reason to buy another so
I'm not super well versed in BT so I could be wrong, but the only way I could see you needing it is if it's an older computer that's not BT 4.0, and you want to have more than just your controller connected via BT.
tsuki has it right. Xbox controllers work natively with Windows 10/11. I had a heck of a time with PS4/Switch controllers on PC because they don't register as "Xinput" type controllers. Playstation controllers in particular don't seem to want to play nice.
Not only that but the bluetooth market is full of scams and straightforward false advertising like bluetooth 2.0 claiming to be 4.2 or 5.0 it's flooded with shit and trash that just flat out don't work and if your motherboard doesn't have bluetooth or its got connection problems and won't stay connected or has unusable range it's painful to try and find bluetooth 5.0 for headphones like Sony or others and if you have a small room without room for a big chair to sit at a desk bluetooth mouse and keyboards are your only choice for pc gaming and just buying a bluetooth keyboard only to find out your motherboard has shitty bluetooth pairing and won't stay connected to your 60$ wireless keyboard and your 5 year old Sony headphones have audio static and you can't even walk 25 feet away from your computer and stay connected but your laptop in a mini tower can stay connected to your headphones all the way into your backyard more than 150 feet away it's a pain to deal with especially since I dropped 4300$ on a redux pc and it's got shit bluetooth pairing and connections problems
I have a question. I have a 8bitdo pro 2 wireless controller that i use for my switched. I'd love to be able to use it on xbox my series x but aren't sure if this adapter would work with it. If anyone knows please lmk.
Not a lot of probably about the same id get using the joy cons wirelessly. It’s pretty slight. And a lot of the times I did get lag it was mostly other factors like my router being nearby.
life changing info. I was stressing because buying another pro controller at 70 dollars for a switch when I own a buttery elite series 2 was hurting me. My only question is how does the button mapping work with this can I remap buttons as I would for the joy cons or would I have to set a profile up through the microsoft app for the controller?
You can do the remapping of the elite 2 controller in your accessories app on your console and you could do it on a profile on your elite 2 controller for your switch and when you want to use it on your switch then you go to that specific profile on your controller.
You say one difference between the old and new is their color, either brown or black. But mine is grey, had it for about 3 or so years now and it syncs PS3, PS4, PS5, Xbox One (Bluetooth version), and Xbox Series controllers to my Switch. So I'm really wondering what this version would do differently than the others? Maybe vibration? It seems pretty spotty on the one I have regardless of what is hooked up to it.
The one you have doesn't support Xbox Series X/S controllers, it doesn't have Bluetooth LE support. It does support Xbox One controllers that use bluetooth.
So, the grey one is the Generation 1. Like the orange brick one I have. The grey model was geared towards connectivity for the PlayStation Classic as well as Switch and PC. So the main difference between it and the Gen 2 would be vibration and gyro support for newer controllers and compatibility with newer Xbox controllers
@@MrCr4zzy Ah! You’re right, I only have one Series controller and just tried it and it is a no go. Could have sworn I tried connecting it once but guess not! Thanks for confirming!
@@Reviews2Go Ah, this makes sense too since I bought it right around the time I was modding the PS Classic. And just confirmed my Series controller does not work with it, so that’s a bummer. But just means I’ll spring for this and rectify that. Kinda like the black more anyway 🤷♂️ Thanks!

I have the grey one for two years but I end up dropping and since then, started to being weird, only working on an adapter instead on the USB directly on the switch. Doesn't even get recognized on pc and only works when it wants on Switch, I have to try multiple positions to start working. I already order the gen 2, hope works well.
my ps5 pad is getting joystick drift after only 9 months, its a joke. i paid 75 euros . next time i'll probably buy 8bitdo pro 2. my 11 years old ps3 pad never got that problem with sensor, only the rubbers got harden and there was no return.
So I would like to use this little guy on my PC with CEMU. I would like to pair a Switch Pro controller to it. Using regular Bluetooth I pair my Pro controller to the Switch, which is always easy. But if I want to pair the controller to the PC, I have to unpair it, and pair it back again every time I go back and fourth between Switch and PC. Its kind of a hassle, which I'd like to avoid. Do you know if this device pairs to the Pro controller, while keeping the gyro function in tact on a PC? Thanks!
Mine is not working. My Xbox controller connects perfectly fine to the adapter but it does not control anything on the switch. In addition, when plugged into the switch dock, it will connect to the controller, and then immediately turn off and then on again. Anyone know what to do? Note my friend has this too and he will try to help me tomorrow
Thinking about getting this so i can use my switch with an Xbox Controller. Hope there isn't input delay as I want to play games like Fortnite, Splatoon, and Smash bros where any input delay can make the game unplayable
I have a Dualsense that I use with a normal BT adapter on PC to use it through Steam. If I get an 8bitdo 2 adapter and have it permanently on the Switch, will I be able to easily change between 8bitdo adapter and PC?
3:18 Is there anyway to only use 1 adapter for multiple controllers it dosnt have to be an 8bitdo any other adapter would do fine as i dont want to spend 20 bucks for and adapter that supports only 1 controller at a time
The Wingman XE2 and Wingmane NS converters both state that they only work with a single controller at a time, which are real deal brakers - I aim to play wii games in multiplayer on PC - and I don't look to buy one adapter per player.. The XB2 adapter does not state anywhere how many controllers it allows at the same time (at least I haven't found any information on it) - I also cant find any information on if 8bitdo adapter can handle multiple controllers - would you happen to know if Wingman XB2 and/or 8bitdo can handle multiple controllers - that is the main metric that needs to be in place for me after compability - since I love to play with friends.
I just bought the adpater and plugged it and it connects but my buttons aren’t remapping and aren’t getting any profiles to work can some one help me? I’m kinda confused?
Will this adapter be compatible with any controller as long as it can connect to this receiver? I have this controller that is not compatible with the Switch but has Bluetooth functionality
Hello, I have a situation and I don't know what to do, I have the first version of 8bitdo and it connected to my xbox one controller without problems, but since I updated my xbox one controller it no longer connects to my 8bitdo, what can I do?
Depends on whether you have the first or second generation adapter. If your adapter is black, it shouldn’t be giving you that issue. If it is Orange or Gray, it is the first generation. Microsoft updated the type of Bluetooth the Xbox controllers use and the first Gen can no longer link to them without firmware updates.
Are there other devices that do something similar? I mostly wanta USB I can keep plugged in to my USB HUD and switch systems on it using the same controller. This seems to work for that but just checking if it's the best option.
The PS style pack in controller with my polymega sucks. Just ordered this USB dongle and I'm hoping PlayStation and Xbox controllers will work with my polymega. 🤞

@@SoundToxin Just got it a few days ago. There is no input delay at all as far as I’m concerned. BUT you need to configure all the buttons though.
I have a Dualsense that I use with a normal BT adapter on PC to use it through Steam. If I get an 8bitdo 2 adapter and have it permanently on the Switch, will I be able to easily change between 8bitdo adapter and PC?
Hello, I recently acquired one of this same model, but when I go to pair it, the ps4 control disconnects, any solution?
Thanks a lot!
Update the firmware
3:18 Is there anyway to only use 1 adapter for multiple controllers it dosnt have to be an 8bitdo any other adapter would do fine as i dont want to spend 20 bucks for and adapter that supports only 1 controller at a time
The Wingman XE2 and Wingmane NS converters both state that they only work with a single controller at a time, which are real deal brakers - I aim to play wii games in multiplayer on PC - and I don't look to buy one adapter per player.. The XB2 adapter does not state anywhere how many controllers it allows at the same time (at least I haven't found any information on it) - I also cant find any information on if 8bitdo adapter can handle multiple controllers - would you happen to know if Wingman XB2 and/or 8bitdo can handle multiple controllers - that is the main metric that needs to be in place for me after compability - since I love to play with friends.
I just bought the adpater and plugged it and it connects but my buttons aren’t remapping and aren’t getting any profiles to work can some one help me? I’m kinda confused?
Will this adapter be compatible with any controller as long as it can connect to this receiver? I have this controller that is not compatible with the Switch but has Bluetooth functionality
I have the same question
I need to know if my Flydigi Vader 2 (no pro) can connect via Bluetooth x.x
Yes guys almost any Bluetooth controller can connect to it.
am i seriously the only one with the issue where my ps4 controller turns green when it’s connected like nobody else has given me the solution
Just wanted to point out , unless I was doing something wrong, that the Xbox Elite Serries 2 does not work with this
Which adapter is best to pare, ps5, Wii, and Wii u controllers
Hello can i use switch pro controller to xbox series s using bitdo 1 or bitdo adapter 2?
Hello, I have a situation and I don't know what to do, I have the first version of 8bitdo and it connected to my xbox one controller without problems, but since I updated my xbox one controller it no longer connects to my 8bitdo, what can I do?
Same
Depends on whether you have the first or second generation adapter. If your adapter is black, it shouldn’t be giving you that issue. If it is Orange or Gray, it is the first generation. Microsoft updated the type of Bluetooth the Xbox controllers use and the first Gen can no longer link to them without firmware updates.
my headset won’t work when i plug it into my xbox controller while the controller is connected bro
Are there other devices that do something similar?
I mostly wanta USB I can keep plugged in to my USB HUD and switch systems on it using the same controller. This seems to work for that but just checking if it's the best option.
Can it connect to a 8bitdo arcade stick on xbox series s?
The PS style pack in controller with my polymega sucks.
Just ordered this USB dongle and I'm hoping PlayStation and Xbox controllers will work with my polymega. 🤞
Просто гениальное устройство. В России контроллер от Nintendo стоит неадекватно дорого. А этот адаптер мне обошёлся примерно за ~15$.
Спасибо за обзор и пояснение за отличия в версиях адаптера.
свитч определил контроллер от иксбокса сериес, но консоль не реагирует на кнопки вообще.
@@АлексейБычков-х7х У меня не сразу всё заработало, несколько раз переподключал. Но в итоге контроллер от бокса определился как нинтендо про контроллер.

Shoul I buy this one?
I am afraid it wont work either
Great review. Maybe I missed it, but can this be used with an undocked Switch, say by using a USB-A to USB-C cable/adapter?
From what I’ve seen with other people Yes you can use an adapter like that on the usb-c port on the Nintendo switch itself
The Xbox remote was super easy to pair but for some odd reason the ps5 remote struggled hard to connect

does the 8bitdo wireless adapter2, when connected to pc, keep a switch pro controller or dual sense continously connected or does one have to pair the controller each time if it wasn't switched to different devices in the interim?
What does change between the models with a "2" on them and those who don't have it?
(Both are USB adapter 2)
SUCH AN ANNOYANCE NO 1 CARES TO ANSWER THIS VERY DAM GOOD QUESTION ISNT IT 8///
He already answer it in the video.
Could I use a USB hub with 4 usb ports and use 4 of these with 4 ps5 controllers?
Okay this adapter is being werid. I tested it to see if it would work then turned it off. Now I cant get it go connect to my controller again
So the new Version os just black but beside this, all others adapters are the same when updating software?
My switch cannot recognize the USB with ps4 dualshock 4
sorry i know this is a late comment on a two year video but with my 8bitdo 2 it wont connect with my ps5 controller not matter what i do. I also have each setting right i have checked multiple times and it wont work so is there anybody able to help out???
Will ps4 controllers work with this adapter or is it only for the newer gen remotes and the old one is the only one that works with older remotes
I dont get the difference between the first and the second gen
can someone explain to me why mine keeps disconnecting my ps5 controller on my pc?
Same is happening to me idk why. It was working for 2 years now this
Would this adapter work on an after market switch dock?
does using 8bitdo with the xbox controller gives me analog control with the control? like, does it go 0-100 instantly or has the midranges?
It might work. Check the product page on 8BitDo’s website to be sure.
Hi I got the 8bitdo ultimate BT & 2.4 adapter, tried to use the adapter but it doesn't have a button to blink fast, is there any way to pair it with my ps4 controller in the switch?
I bought an 8bitdo adapter 2.0. And I tried to pair my ps3 controllers to it, but it is impossible to me. Does the ps3 controller pair with the bit do 2.0 adapter? I bought 2 btw
Would this work with the PlayStation classic or Retron 5 ?
I did update my adapter and my ps5 controller is still disconnecting (I try to connect switch and ps5 controller) pls. if someone can help
It works for the xbox one controller as well
With this, can i use PS5 Dualsense on Xbox Series ? or its just for switch
No. It only works for the switch and pc.
@@Reviews2Go okay thanks
