It just works! for accessories

It works exactly as you would expect: plug in switch, press button, sync controller, BOOM. Very easy to set up and now I can use my favorite controllers without having to buy another $70 professional controller!

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • There are downsides

Useless drift and lag

Connected and tested PS4 and PS5 controllers, used and new controllers straight out of the box - they all had severe key travel and lag that I couldn't fix. I contacted support and received no response. 3 days waiting time and invoice. Would be a great product if it worked.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Not sure

Do not buy! You will regret it!

Doesn't work and after trying it I'm out of the return window. It doesn't connect to the PS5 or Xbox controller, don't waste your money like me. Run run run away from this horrible product. Think about it, if it worked, there wouldn't be any Mad Catz or third parties in all of this. Stupid move on my part and Revane won't help. Learn from my mistake and save your money!

Pros
  • Pretty packaging
Cons
  • Expensive

It works but don't believe the photos in the listing

I have two different PS5 controllers to pair with both adapters I bought and I had no problem setting them up. Played Doom and didn't notice any key lag. The problem is that I wanted to connect a pro controller, a PS5 controller and an Xbox controller at the same time, but unless I buy a multi-USB dongle I can only use one adapter on my dock. One of the images in the listing shows that you can plug this adapter into a USB port in the Switch Dock. I can't speak for 3rd party docks but this boi…

Pros
  • Great choice
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

Works with Retron Sq - finally a wireless solution!

Hyperkin seems to be its own worst enemy. I finally found a solution for wireless controllers - their own Bluetooth adapter, the AlphaStar BT adapter. I first found a picture of a Bluetooth adapter in the Retron Sq's USB port on the Hyperkin website. After some research I found (on their website and Revain) that they now listed the AlphaStar BT adapter as being compatible with Retron Sq with their own Scout and other bluetooth controllers. I finally tried the AlphaStar BT adapter and was able…

Pros
  • Stability of test results
Cons
  • Long wait
