My wingman xb1 still works great on my series x. I think there was a hardware revision on the xb1 wingman, and the later version like xb2 wingman were banned by microsoft
Yeah, the ban never hit me (I think you get a warning) - my OG wingman XB still works however it doesn't work with everything for some reason. I have a Mayflash Magic adapter for the controllers that don't work. Great product. i wanna say the Ban was targeting the 2nd generation, Brook said that they would fix it but never did and never said why.
I will need to try the mayflash sometime. But yeah, I now have three perfectly good Wingman XB's that I can use on my Series X and S but only two for my 360 😅
@@ArchadesGames The Mayflash has a couple of quirks that I don't get - one of my controllers (a Hori game cube-style controller that is supposed to be seen as a switch controller) is recognized as a PS4 controller and doesn't work well with the Mayflash - the Brook works just fine for some reason. I do wish Mayflash's adapter also was in a black color to match my series X since it clashes with its white color but that's being too nitpicky. I also forgot you can change controller inputs in the Xbox system menus. My question is how do you handle controllers with odd layouts - like what do you set for the PS to make it native or for a N64 style controller?
The firmware situation is very confusing and preventing me from buying this. I own a XB1 and XB2 but mostly used the latter, which stopped working one day. At the time I found the latest Brook firmware didn't work but was pointed towards a legacy version of the firmware which ensured the XB2 worked again. I'm now reluctant to upgrade the firmware on my XB2 to the latest firmware in case compatibility breaks again.
4:30 You said that XB1 and XB2 STILL work on "Xbox Series S" OR did you mean to say "Xbox One S" Can you please verify ? I just started getting the USB Warning on my XB2 earlier this month..... I have both XB1 and XB2...i do not want to spend another $55 to get the XB3, if i do not have to. Also, does XB1 and XB2 also work on PC??? i was trying to play Battlefield 2042 with my DualShock 4 using DS4Windows Program....but Battlefield detected a "Virtual Controller." which the Anti Cheat would not let me use. Call of Duty lets me use my DualShock4 just fine with DS4Windows..... On Battlefield, i have to use my Xbox Controller which sucks......Will Battlefield detect the XB3 as just an ordinary Xbox controller since it is not a software program??? Thanks in advanced dude.
I said Xbox Series S because I meant Xbox Series S. And yes the XB1/2 should behave the same way with PC so you just plug the DualShock 4 into the adapter and it will work as a standard Xbox controller. After plugging it in once it will also work wirelessly.
The whole thing with the xb2 put a sour taste in my mouth towards Xbox and the wingman adapters. I just gave my console to my oldest son and instead upgraded my PC (originally I got the series s during the GPU shortage) now I don't have to worry about needing to have a specific brand of controller.
Great. I'm looking to buy a fight pad in order to play on both PlayStation 5 and Series X. This might be the answer to that. I would just need to buy something compatible with PS5 and plug this on the Xbox.
Unfortunately Sony locked out anything but DualSense controllers on PS5 games except for fighting and racing so it would probably only really work for PS4 games with something like the Brook Wingman XE.

Who knows, both my XB1/2 work fine still.

My biggest question with these has always been:
Does the gamecube adapter (4 ports) work through this?
great review, i was thinking of getting a ps3 controller for when i start emulating on my Xbox so this video was perfect timing
It works fine with Bluetooth! Hopefully an update can fix that wired mode cutout issue 😅

Yeah, no reason to change it if it works
Dear @Arcades, does this work on dev mode on xbox series x? Can it be used for emulators? Thanks
Edit: you answer this question at 2:54! Thanks!
Yup!
I have the XB1 that I purchased many years ago and it works just fine on my Xbox Series S.

@@ArchadesGames Sweeeeet !!!! Thanks Dude !! Subscribed !!!
Appreciated, have fun in Battlefield!

Yeah it has been a crap show for sure
Did you try using any non-standard controllers like steering wheels, guitar hero controllers or fighting sticks with it?
I don't have guitar controllers or racing wheels to test but it worked fine with my old PS3 arcade stick
I had the XB2 and it kept disconnecting on my modded OG XBOX. Firmware update didn’t help either.
That sucks.
Bought the wingman 2 a year ago. Use the dualsense for everything.
Nice, Sony's best controller by far
Great. I'm looking to buy a fight pad in order to play on both PlayStation 5 and Series X. This might be the answer to that. I would just need to buy something compatible with PS5 and plug this on the Xbox.
Either way would work, they have a FGC Wingman for the PS5 for fight sticks as well.
@@ArchadesGames Gonna look into that as well then. Thanks.
i’d really like to use my xbox elite 2 with ps5

@@ArchadesGames thanks!
So the ban is gone?
It never affected everyone but this is a new device that works for anyone who was.
The ban hit my xb2 on my series X today out of nowhere like a brick 9/29/24.
