Thanks this really helped! My joy cons broke for the 37th time and buying a little adapter that works with a ps5 controller that I already have is gonna help a lot
Thank you for the explanation. Unlike other sources online that just briefly touch on the topic, you pointed out which features need to be enabled, which really helped me a lot! Other RUclipsrs’ videos just mention buying an adapter and pairing it, but none of them are as detailed as this video.
@@pinkin7five720 what you’re referring to is a coincidence, not irony. Irony would be something like a fire truck being on fire or an almond farmer that’s allergic to tree nuts.
I have this, it doesn’t work for me, have 8bitdo v2 updated software, have tried usb in my dock, usb c to usb converter, and my ps5 controller just simply will not connect to my switch,
Connect it on the computer, do the firmware update, then connect the ps5 controller on the pc. Then remove dongle and then put it on the switch. It will work that way
Oh. That will work too. You, I just got 8bitdo wireless adapter 2. I’m making the video about Xbox controllers with switch, so I would suggest getting the 2nd version. Who knows, maybe you will have an xbox in the future. 😊
@@MaxDendy I have a 8bitdo (: just haven’t been using it Well cool, I can’t wait to see the vid, I also have a Xbox as well just never used the controller for my switch 😆
Got the 8bitdo wireless adapter 2. I updated its firmware and turned on the setting on the switch for allowing pro controllers to connect wireless. And the ps5 controller lights up blue showing its connected but doesn't actually do anything on the switch.
Thanks for this video! just wondering, can multiple dual sense controllers connect to the switch with just 1 adapter? And then if I try to connect regular nintendo pro controllers will they interfere with each other like both trying to connect as player 1 simultaneously or anything like that? Hoping to be able to connect like 2 dual sense and then multiple pro controllers for smash ultimate and other multiplayer games
Hey I checked it. Unfortunately, one controller per adapter. I’ve managed to connect 4 joy cons, 1 switch pro controller, 1 Xbox controller, and 1 ps5 controller at the same time.
Great video! Sadly there is a little input delay noticeable in fast pace games. I'm using the 8bitdo v2 with DualSense, switch V1 playing Rocket League and there is a small delay. I thought this would be the solution since I have 3 DualSenses but nope. I think I will have to buy a pro controller or a generic one.
@@tombucannon there will be an input delay, no matter the game. Zelda by itself has a little bit of delay, can't imagine adding even more with the adapter. I'll stick to gamepads made for the console itself, generic or originals, tbh.
Hi, I made a tutorial for Xbox controllers. ruclips.net/video/v-FxbIaUK4c/видео.html You will need a different adapter. Which version of the adapter did you get?
I have an issue my controller is connecting just fine the lights are solid blue like it should and the adapter is solid led too but my controller inputs don't work. Any buttons on the ds5 wont work. Can i have some help please ? Thanks for the video !
Thank you for you response, tbh i don't have the same adapter but i just wanted to check if the issue could come from the adapter itself (or the switch) or if it was encountered by someone else because i felt like i was the only one to have it... So after a few research i noticed that my "SteelPlay Crossdrive (For Switch)" adapter, that i had in early 2022, couldn't get any update because the brand's website don't give the drivers on it (and they say you can update the drivers of your adapter by going on the website... which is actually false...). That being said, i guess i should have bought a 8bitdo adapter since the moment i wanted to play whatever console with whatever game controller... jeez Still thank you for your help ^^'
As of July 6th 2023, this does NOT work for the first DualSense model. I don't have any info on the slightly updated version, but I'll try it as soon as I can
The only that sucks is that while your PS5 Dual sense controller is connected you cannot charge your Switch Lite at the same time; which is what I was looking for here.
Noting that this video is a year old now. Can PS5 remotes still pair with Switch using 8BitDo? Because it isn’t working for me for some unknown reason 😫
Use to work doesn’t now sadly, I’ll save you some time and let you know it’ll show the controller paired but controller never really actually works I’ll update if I get a solution as of now looks patched! Smh
can someone explain to me why u need a Bluetooth adapter when there is blutooth already built-in Nintendo.why can't u directly pair with yr DS5?mines work just fine with my ns lite with out any adapter.
This isn't the dualshock 3. Dualsense is easily the best controller I've had. I hated pretty much every controller on Playstation and preferred Xbox controllers until now.
Damn what an idiot. N64 controllers would like a word. Ps5 controllers among the best controllers I've ever used. Absolutely dumps on the standard Xbox controllers.

Is there an adapter to use it wired not wireless? Can you just use a normal usb c to usb c cable?

Hahaha thank you 😂😍
Excellent video bro, thanks for going direct to the point and not simping for subs/likes/bells, have an excellent day.
Thank you, is it possible to use the PS5 Controller without using the Docking Station? Or do I have to use this Dongle always????????

Do you need two adapters if you're going to play with two controllers?
You can't play 2 controllers with this..that's the con.
@@astreanekoo6843 if you use a USB hub you can
Can i use any standard bluetooth reciever with a PS5 controller, or does the adaptor actually change something?
Im wondering the same thing, did you find an answer yet?
You can't with only bluetooth
Thank you (: new sub!
I appreciate that you showed what the buttons do on the controller
Most other vids did not so you’re awesome! 👍
Thank you so much. I really wanted to help to somebody. So, are you going to use a dualsense with switch? 😊

Well cool, I can’t wait to see the vid, I also have a Xbox as well just never used the controller for my switch 😆
I use it because of the vibration. LOL .On an Xbox controller it is way stronger. So, sometimes just for fun, you know 🤣
Does it works with the lite version!
If I conect 2 controllers I need to adapters ?
I subs bro you deserve 100k bro im number 51
Oh, thank you so much! That is so nice to hear😍
What stand are you using to hold your switch?
It’s the dock that comes with it
Oh my bad I see what your talking about
Do we have te reprogram the 8bitDo or is this automatically ?
Can you put the link to the usb-a to usb-c cord
I have a question so I got a Switch up can I use that to connect my ps5 controller to my switch?
Got the 8bitdo wireless adapter 2. I updated its firmware and turned on the setting on the switch for allowing pro controllers to connect wireless. And the ps5 controller lights up blue showing its connected but doesn't actually do anything on the switch.
I got the same this issue today, did you find a solution for it?
Can you use adapter 2 or does it not work
can you connect multiple controller with one dongle?
No
does it work even if the switch is not connected to the TV?
So you can't plug your headphones into the controller to hear game sound?
does it open you ps5 when you press the home button on the controller while connected to switch?
Does anyone know why and how to fix?
can u connect multiple controllers at a time?
No
Can you connect more than one controller?
Does it work with the victrix pro bfg

@@m4rk947 make sure to turn on pro controller wired communication on the switch settings
why you didn't talk about the input lag!
Does it work for ps4?
There’s a noticeable input lag with the PS5 controller, any advice on how to fix it or just just like that?
I guess you just gotta deal with it. After all you already have a PS5, so compromising input just to play on the switch lite too shouldn't be that bad
Now how do we mirror our ps5 to a switch, so I can play ps5 using switch oled screen
Does touch do anything
Or cant u use the usb-a on the dock?
I can't use the usb-c cable to connect the controller?
How to desconect ? Pls help

is it possible to connect more than 1 ps5 controller?
