Worked great with the switch and PS4 controller

Works great. Got it for my future step son. Takes one press of the button and holding two buttons down on the PS4 controller and it replaced the pro controller on the switch. Finally a decent controller for that thing. After the 4th controller finally broke we got him this and a PS4 controller. No more broken thumb sticks!

Pros
  • Works great with my Xbox one X controller when I play my switch games on my tv
Cons
  • Can be incompatible with certain peripherals or accessories

Controller buttons tend to bug out mid game

I keep the dongle close to my controller and it acts as if it’s losing connect. I constantly have to turn my controller off and on to fix it. Plus it reads my PS5 controller as an Xbox controller.

Pros
  • Not much to complain about here. Plug it in, sync a controller and it just works. Thanks!
Cons
  • Can be difficult to use if you're not familiar with pairing devices via Bluetooth

Worked great with PS 4 controller.

Fast delivery. I might purchase another one. I am very satisfied with this little guy. Works great with a PS 4 controller for my PlayStation Mini Classic.

Pros
  • AKNES
Cons
  • The dongle can be easily misplaced if not stored properly

Brick works: my feedback

I bought this for my SWITCH since my brother and I have been using this device a lot since March. Glad I bought it. It arrived quickly and it works. Like the design.looks like a brick.

Pros
  • Been using this in conjunction with my switch and my PS five controller best choice I ever made
Cons
  • Limited compatibility with older gaming systems

Ps4 controller on Nintendo Switch

I recently bough a switch but didn't want to pay $65 for a pro controller. Since I own a ps4, this allows me to use my ps4 controllers wirelessly with the switch and without any input lag which is most important. Highly recommended.

Pros
  • Cables & Adapters
Cons
  • The adapter may not pick up all button inputs or movements from the controller

Easy but experienced drop outs already

Bought 2 of these at the same time for separate computers. The set up was quick and easy as expected and reconnection is quick after you power a controller back on. BUT we already experienced connection drop out during usage on both computers for a total of 3 disconnects now. Its been 1 day.

Pros
  • Works just like it says !!! Great product !! Connected my Xbox controller to the PlayStation classic !
Cons
  • May require additional software or drivers to be installed on the gaming system

Very useful switch accessory.

Great if you have a some older controllers laying around, without paying the outrageous switch pro price. Pro controller are some of the best out, but way to expensive.We use xbox one, and wii u pro controller with this. Works better then a couple of the other brand adapters, it always connects right away, and the dongle it comes with is helpful.

Pros
  • Product is awesome, came on time and is exactly what I wanted.
Cons
  • No built-in battery means it must be powered by the gaming system

Super user friendly

It is very easy to connect my ps4 controller to my mac. Quick thing, Bigger than I expected, but still quite portable. 0.353 ounces.

Pros
  • 0.353 ounces
Cons
  • May not offer the same level of accuracy and precision as a wired controller

Works great with Xbox Elite Series 2 controller

I think that this is a great product. I have both a laptop and a switch that I game with. As much as I love Nintendo games, I find playing some shooters with licensed Nintendo controllers hard. I do have to pair the remote most times when I turn on my switch, but that is hardly a downside. The adapter that comes included allows you to play with your favorite controller outside of the doc. All in all, I would recommend this as an alternative to buying a power A remote to anyone who is going from

Pros
  • No Lag - Wireless Bluetooth, no lag.It's one controller per 8Bitdo USB adapter.Vibration is supported on Switch and X-input mode.An OTG cable enables you to use the adapter to connect your Switch and enjoy the handheld mode directly.
Cons
  • The dongle may need to be replaced regularly due to wear and tear

AMAZING FOR SWITCH - my new review

I wanted to use my ps4 controller on switch, I tried via usb but failed. I found this and when I got it, it worked great. It’s easy to connect too. Only problem is that on the ps4 controller, "x” is to click on something but in this case it’s actually "O” because that’s how it is on Nintendo. Other than that it works great!

Pros
  • easy to use ps5 controller with switch is awesome
Cons
  • Came broken

No more bluetooth headaches on windows

For the longest time I would always have tons of bluetooth issues with connecting my controllers to my desktop computer. So, after a long time I finally decided to purchase this dongle and at long last, it finally fixed all of my issues! It's unbelievably easy to set up and works amazingly. I don't get anymore random lag or disconnects from ANY of my controllers and couldn't be happier!

Pros
  • I'm not sure what this does. My son picked it out and uses it so it must work.
Cons
  • Can be prone to accidental disconnection during gameplay

Good choice, only connects one controller

I like that I can use my ps4 controller to play instead of having to buy the Nintendo pro controller. However, I wish this could connect more than one controller at a time, but it doesn't. That is the only flaw I've seen so far, otherwise I like it.

Pros
  • Worked for ps classic
Cons
  • Only supports one controller at a time

Noticeable lag best in my review

The pair nicely and "works great” other than a slight lag that get real frustrating. And yes i did the update.I wouldn’t recommend

Pros
  • Plug and Play - Simply connect the controller adapter with your Wireless Controller to enable the same wireless experience you are used to on all the best platforms.
Cons
  • Can be difficult to troubleshoot if it stops working correctly

Great Product! for my opinion

The set up at first might be confusing, but it’s very simple, plug it in, hold the button on the 8bit until it flashes then do the same thing to the controller to put it into parking mode, if it isn’t working right away, hold down the button on the 8bit for 10 seconds to reset and then try again. Product works great past that point. No issues so far in my using of this product.

Pros
  • Accessories
Cons
  • Possibility of interference or lag due to other wireless devices in the area

Good product in my review

Worked perfectly for connects my Xbox elite 2 controller. I had to first update the controller through Microsofts app but after that I had no issues.

Pros
  • My son was so excited to get this! He loves it!! Works great!
Cons
  • Can create additional clutter on the gaming setup with the addition of another device

Sweet little gadget!

It connected perfectly to a PS4 controller but you have to download additional software to be able to connect to a PS3 controller. Overall, I like it!

Pros
  • Awesome! Works perfectly with a lot of different controllers
Cons
  • The dongle may be difficult to plug into certain USB ports

So.I I didn't think it would work.but.

Alright listen yall. I didn't thin it would work out of the box, Im gonna be honest with you. After reading the reviews, I had next to no expectations that it would do what it was intended to do. HOWEVER.I pulled the thing out the box, opened it, tried the "instructions" that were basically none exist, but whatever. It was completely plug and play.I bought this for my Dualshock ps4 controller on PC so I wouldn't have to worry about having a wire sit in my lap. I put the USB in, synced up the…

Pros
  • Xbox One
Cons
  • May not have as much functionality as wired controllers

Works for WiiU Pro Controller with Switch Dock.

Works to use a WiiU Pro Controller with the Nintendo Switch. Took a few tries to sync it the first time but since then it syncs without a problem.The bulkiness of the receiver make it look like it you could not fit two in the two front USB ports (which is as much a design flaw with the Switch Dock as the item) so that's a minus. But to get a full function controller (since I already have a pro controller have not tested with PS4 controllers) for $20 is a steal.

Pros
  • Gift - Package include an OTG cable, so you can use the converter to connect your Switch Console via an OTG cable and then enjoy the Undocked Mode directly.
Cons
  • The dongle may not be compatible with all types of USB ports
