Works good
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.I'm glad this product even exists. I already own multiple Xbox One and PS4 controllers and you're able to use it on the NS, saving you cash as well. My only gripe is that if you buy 2 like I did they both won't fit on the docking at the same time. I had to buy Usb extension cord for one of them so that they can fit.

Used with my Playstation Classic
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Great little adapter that I use with my Playstation Classic. I am able to connect my Xbox and Switch Pro controllers without any issues. Be sure to check any YouTube videos out there that may help with some of the common issues you may face. Great little product!

Great for the switch
|Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.The 8bitDo adapter is perfect when one wants to use the same controller across gaming consoles/PC.

Stopped Connecting to Switch
|Posted .Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This never worked consistently for me and my Switch. I had to power cycle my Switch over and over.. go through the 8Bitdo setup process again and again and again and again in the hopes that it would connect my gamepads to the Switch. It normally took about 10 minutes of work every single time I wanted to play. I installed the 8Bitdo firmware version 1.32 and now it's stopped working. 8Bitdo customer service is nonresistant. This thing is a great idea but the reality is that it's trash.

Excellent for the Switch!
|Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.I ordered 4 of these to connect Dualshock 4 controllers to the switch. I used a non-powered 4 hub USB switch; try to get one that has the USB slots aligned vertically and not horizontally, because these 8bitdo adapters are so wide that you may only be able to fit two of these on a 4 slot switch that has the horizontal configuration. Anyways, pair one at a time, and you should have no problem. There is no noticeable input lag from what I can tell. Overall, this is truly a fantastic product, especially if you already have some spare controllers, and don't want to fork out $70-$80 for an official Switch controller.

Nice to use a cord on the computer!
|Posted .Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.I bought this to use my Xbox one controller on my pc desktop that doesn’t have Bluetooth. I was aggravated at first because I could get it to pair to my controller but wouldn’t work to any of my games. With some research I found that it needed a firmware update. Once I went to 8BitDo’s website under support I found the most recent updated firmware and installed it. Works great after doing this. It it would have worked perfectly out of the box I would have given it 5 stars but with a firmware update it does work great.

Awesome!
|Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.I'm really used to playing FPS games on my PS4 and just couldn't get my groove in with the joycons. I also didn't want to shell out $70 for a Pro controller since the analog sticks are roughly in the same spot as the joycons. So, for me, paying $20 to be able to use my PS4 controller is a steal! Works flawlessly although I had trouble pairing at first because the instructions forgot to mention you have to hold down the "share" and "ps" buttons. Aside from that, perfect!

Makes using other controllers affordable :)
|Posted .Owned for 2 months when reviewed.Definitely good for other controllers and other 8bitdo controller (minus the Pro + & Pro 2). Just requires a little work to know how use is all. :)

What experts are saying
Q: QuestionHow many gaming devices it connects to the PC?
Asked by GrimJaw123.
- A:Answer We have used it for a ps4 controller and an xbox controller for pc gaming. Have to pair whichever controller you want to use at the time. We purchased 2 so we can keep each one paired to a specific controller and play split screen 2 player games from the pc.

Q: QuestionHow do I unpair this from a controller? Unplugging the device didn’t work and I can’t connect my controller to my PS4 anymore.
Asked by luci.
- A:Answer Step 1 - Make Sure Your DUALSHOCK®4 is Properly Connected to Your PS4™ Follow these steps to below: Make sure that the PS4™ system and TV are turned on. The light should be white on the PS4™. Connect your DUALSHOCK®4 (micro USB port located on the back) to your PS4™ (USB port located on the front), using the USB cable that came with your PS4™. While the DUALSHOCK®4 and PS4™ are connected, press the PS button on the controller. You should hear a beep and the controller light should change from orange to white. This starts the pairing process. The light bar on the controller turns blue when properly paired. If the light bar is not blue or the PS button is not responsive: Try a different USB port on the PS4™ you may need to fully charge your controller. If that doesn’t work try a different USB cable. If that doesn’t work, try a different DUALSHOCK®4. If none of the above work, try resetting your DUALSHOCK®4 controller.

Q: QuestionCan I use this to use my 8bitdo controller on my PS4
Asked by beckDawg.
- A:Answer Only if you have another adapter that makes it compatible. This red brick adapter lets you use your PlayStation 4/Xbox one controller on the switch only. I bought a separate adapter so I can use my 8bitdo controller on my Xbox to play apex. So yes my Xbox has an Xbox 360 to Xbox one adapter in the usb and then the 8bitdo adapter plugged into that lol. It leaves a long usb sticking out so I plugged it In the back of the Xbox one where no one will bump it.
