Did you know? You can actually use two controllers to control a single player. Why would you want this? Because playing katamari reroll with two people fighting for control is the most fun you can have on the switch. Seriously I recommend you try this it’s hilarious good fun.
You want to talk about redundant uses of wireless adapters? I plugged my NES Classic Retro Receiver into my Wiimote and synced the Wiimote to the receiver. What? You never connected a Wiimote to itself before? (Sorry for being random. I just didn't know when else I would get to mention this...)
Can you connect 2 controllers (for example 2 dualshocks) with one stick to the switch and play with 2 players (different players for co-op or versus) or will you need 2 USB adapters for 2 different players?
Best review of the device in RUclips. Very detailed, I was searching and searching about the rumble in other controllers (because usually they only put the example of the PS4 controller) so thank you
Looking at getting one of these for Smash Brothers Ultimate, so I can use either the Xbox One or Wii U Pro controller for second player, that way we don't have to have another Pro controller.
This is a great item and definitely worth the purchase. As someone who doesn't even own a switch, using this to play smash with some friends with my own Xbox one controller is great. Since it has multiple uses, it beats paying $70 for a controller I can only use on one system. The only issue I have is some latency issues with certain positions, such as under the table. Overall, spending $20 to basically upgrade your controller to a multi-platform device is great.
For future reference - 'DINPUT' is pronounced D-Input which is short for DirectInput. And XINPUT is pronounced X-Input and refers to the XInput API used to communicate with Xbox controllers.
I kinda want to buy this, but I need to know 2 things. Will this work with a 3rd party PS3 or a 3rd party wireless XBOX360 controller? (Gamesir G3S) If you grab a phone charger, plug it into there, and attempt to sync, does it work?
I wish someone would make an actually frame data video testing the input lag of the stick compared to 1st party input lag. For example joycon/pro-controller have the usual 3-4 frames of input lag(depending on software) like most other controllers. I generally don't trust "non-noticeable" and like hard numbers.
all i can say is while playing binding of isaac: afterbirth+ on switch w/ a wii u pro controller i dont notice ANY lag whatsoever. its the same as the joy-cons i feel...i cant speak for hard numbers
Tried playing Doom with this piece of Shit Hardware and the Input Lag is remarkable High! Don't buy this Piece of Shit everyone who says otherwise is getting paid!
Has it been updated for more controllers can play more characters than just one? (Sorry if that's confusing I can't find a better way to word it) cause I just purchased it and hope it'll be able to in time for Smash
Great review! I might buy this. I have multiple PS3 and PS4 controllers plus a Wii U Pro Controller. I don’t want to shell out $70 for a Switch Pro Controller, even if it is the best controller for the Switch on the market. I think the adapter should cost less than $25 since it’s just an adapter, not a controller, but at least it’s a lot cheaper than a Switch Pro Controller or a new pair of Joy-Cons.
Did you know that using the purple mode on the Nintendo switch magic NS adapter doesn’t just give you rumble it also allows you to know if we map the controller on the Nintendo switch with you and switch pro mode
Thanks for the review, I've been wanting to use my Switch pro controller on my PC and being able to have my 360 controller as an extra with this would be a nice bonus.
It does now, after a firmware update, works pretty well after you calibrate the motion controls, feels slightly worse than a switch pro controller gyro for aiming in splatoon.
Switch pro controller/joycon's use the same gyro, just that you have different grips. Hence, it'll feel worse than the joycon gyro, not including how it feels in relation to grip
I understand that this is an old review but I have a question. I'm trying to use my Xbox One controller on my PS3 but a couple of the buttons still aren't working, mainly the "Home" buttons as well as the right joystick. I've read over the manual and updated the firmware and still haven't been able to fix it, any idea what to do?
I don't have the adapter and I'm asking for this particular question. What happens when you connect the adapter in portable mode and on the other side a power bank? You can use the adapter and charge the switch?
Hey thanks for the video, just wanted to know if the nintendo joy cons works well on PC as a single controller. I want to use them playing first person shooter while chilling on the couch. Do they work for first person shooters on PC?
Mine doesnt work for some reason? Any help? Its synced but my controller doesnt move anything its non responsive? Im on switch? Exit lol I read the back mine says red not blue..
Can you connect joy cons and pro controllers to pc with this? if so will motion control and hd rumble work similairly to the steam controller? and with the joycons will the analogue sticks work?
can someone help I want to get this but I also don't want to be restricted to putting my switch in the dock so is there any way I could use something that connects into my switch directly
I know this is late, but I’ve bought the adapter and use a PS3 controller, and as far as I can tell, there is no discernible lag when playing games. I mostly use it to play Dragonball FighterZ for switch and pc.
I have one as well. I recommend buying a Titan 1 adapter as well. Titan 1 is way older but better. I have a arcade system. Titan 1 has a feature magic ns don't. Put PC inputs on real game consoles. Meaning anything you got plugged in the PC will be read on real game console. My arcade cabinet has a IPAC board in it. It can switch between dinput and xinput. I switch it to dinput so the Gtuner software can detect the IPAC board with "Max Aim DI" software that's built inside Gtuner software. All I have to do is pick the "output" of the game console I wanna play on. If it's Nintendo switch, I place the output to Nintendo switch. The IPAC board will transform into a Nintendo switch board. This is cool but only 1 player will work using "Max Aim DI" software.
Thanks for the video! Can you play in multiplayer using the MagicNS in order to connect another controller to the console while player 1 plays with the Joy Cons?
I have been using this for a while and it worked really well, but today the switch dock failed to connect to the Magic NS adapter. But I can connect to the switch directly using the provided extension cable..anybody has a solution?
You might want to listen to the commentary. Somewhere within the first 5 minutes he explains how many controllers you can connect, AND how they work together... or do they? -- you'll have to watch to find out!
I just got my switch, I'm considering getting this to use my xbox controller, I would prefer having first party hardware like the pro controller... But controllers have always felt overpriced to me
Hello can I ask if I put a Hatsune miku arcade controller that’s for the ps3 and I use the drive thing to connect the controller to my switch will it work
Well, you miiight be able to get them work if you chain adapters. Mayflash has a Classic Controller to PS3 Adapter. Considering the Magic-NS accepts PS3 Controllers as well as USB Input, it might be something worth trying. Although, I can't verify anything really. www.amazon.com/Mayflash-Wii-Classic-Controller-Adapter/dp/B06XPHKWMK
i cannot for the life of me get my xbox series x controller to sync with this thing. with a wired usb, it works, and the adapter and controller are up to date. i put both the controller and the adapter into sync mode and put them right next to eachother, and all that happens is blinking. disclaimer/edit: series x/s controllers do not yet have wireless support from this adapter.
I love it, but... I can't help but get confused when I'm playing games like BotW where on-screen it prompts buttons like A, X, etc. and I'm on my Xbox controller and I end up pressing the wrong buttons. Muscle memory sucks.
Hi,I am thinking of getting this but only if I can use a Joystick it Steering wheel. Does anyone know if you can use the adapter with a ps/xbox/pc Wheel or Joystick?
The controller you pair with this dongle has to have Bluetooth. I believe all XboxOne controllers use Bluetooth. If you meant to say the XB360 controller, then no it won't pair. A way around this is that you can buy a usb wireless receiver (made by Microsoft, sells for about $20) intended to use wireless XB360 controllers on a PC . Use that same dongle and plug it into the USB port on the Magic-NS and run it "as if" it was a wired controller. The Magic-NS would see it as a wired controller, so no pairing is needed, but in fact you're running wireless.
Been rely enjoying mine just got it last week. Only problem i seem to be having with it is when i turn the switch on using my joycons i have to plug in and unplug the adapter a couple of times to get it to turn and and connect with my controller. Don't know if anyone else has had this problem or knows of a fix.
Actually. It emulates a regular USB controller.And with that there's even less chance of it being patched out. Since they are selling actual Wired USB controllers for the Switch

Been using the Wii mote and nunchuk for smash ultimate with this. It is a great product.
This works great. They say you can adjust the rumble. I haven’t had any luck. But other than that my DS4 controller works great on the Switch!
Subscribed, very informative video with nothing left out, cheers.
So will there be an update to allow multiple controllers for multiple players on one adapter?
I don't think so
Has it been updated for more controllers can play more characters than just one? (Sorry if that's confusing I can't find a better way to word it) cause I just purchased it and hope it'll be able to in time for Smash
No, and probably will not...
But who knows.. Maybe one day.
(But don't count on it every being there)
You'd need to buy additional adapters
You need more adapters, unfortunately. You can use the Joy-Cons and the adapter for multiplayer, though.

You used 'notorious' twice within 35 seconds, but it's supposed to be famous or well known, typically for some bad quality or deed
Can you use a switch pro controller connected directly to the switch and have a controller connected to this at the same time? Great review btw
Can I plug 3 of this? Well I'm asking if they will fit all at the same time
was you able to use the d pad to move the characters when playing ultimate smash with the controller connected to the adapter?
Would be neat if you could use one controller via bluetooth and another via USB connection at the same time. You guys haven't tried this, have you?

Do you have to redo the sync process with the Wii U Pro controller every time you shut it off?
I'm curious does this give any controllers motion or do they have to have the ability ahead of time asking because it gives rumble to them

Is there an possibility to use an Switch Wired Controller wireless only with an adapter for the Controller and not for the Switch?
Can you use the adapter with a PS4 controller or Wii U Pro Controller _and_ the Joy-Cons at the same time to play with a friend in docked mode?
I loved the adapter it’s great for the people that claim they hate the Nintendo switch, it’s controller, or it’s games
can someone help I want to get this but I also don't want to be restricted to putting my switch in the dock so is there any way I could use something that connects into my switch directly
On Amazon they sell one of these with a cord that allows you to plug the adapter into the switch while in handheld mode
Does it lag if there is more than 2 controllers connected to the console?
would my headphone jack work on my ps4 controller on my xbox one ? or nintendo switch ?
nope
No
if u connect a head set to your ps4 controller will audio go through your head set? this would be great.
Will this work with the PS3 Neo Geo USB stick?
Yes
Does it works with Classic Controllers? (and no I don't use a Wii Classic Controller but a Gamecube Controller disguised with one)
Is there a tutorial on how to update the Adapter?

Is there any lag/major lag issues with controllers like PS3, also how do you set it up with the PS3 controller?
