Got it so I could use my new xbone controller with my desktop, which doesn't have any Bluetooth capabilities. It worked great as soon as I plugged it in, just need to hold the buttons on it and the controller for a sec and they pair right up. I've been using it for about a month now and it's had no issues, I don't notice any input lag at all with my rig. Definitely worth trying if you can't find any official adapters.

I own the first version of the 8Bitdo dongle and have had my eyes on this one for a little bit now. I honestly love the dongle for various reasons and its uses. First off I want to state that you may need to plug this into a computer or phone and then grab its software for an update, if you decide to use it on the Switch 2. After that its an amazing device that can save you a ton of money and time.
If you have a Xbox or PS controller laying around, you can sync them to the dongle and use it on the Switch or Switch 2. Then if you are like me and play PC games you can simply remove the dongle and plug it into your PC, instead of having to resync yoyr controller to you PC's bluetooth. The great thing about this dongle is that the Elite Series 2 controllers can be synced up to it.

Got the 8bit for my switch so i can use my dualsense with my switch. Wanted a pro controller but didn’t want to spend $70 on it, so i spent $20 on the 8bit to use any controller i wanted for my switch. Worth the purchase. Works flawlessly!!

This little dongle is absolute magic. Plug it in, pair a controller, and suddenly everything just… works. I’m using it for PC gaming, and it connected instantly with zero drama—no drivers, no weird settings, no troubleshooting rabbit holes.
Input is responsive, connection is rock solid, and it does exactly what it promises without asking for attention. I love that I can use my favorite controllers wirelessly instead of juggling cables like it’s 2005.
It’s small enough to forget it’s there, but useful enough that I’d immediately notice if it wasn’t. If you game on PC and want controller freedom without headaches, this is an easy buy.
Simple, reliable, and quietly awesome.

This is a very cheap and reliable way of adding PC support for your console controller of choice. You could always pair throigh standard bluetooth for most devices but having a dedicated channel for your controllers that isnt shared with other devices is nice. Unlike the Official Microsoft adapter this is easier to find and doesnt rely on you spending a lot of money on a controller and dongle bundle.

Working for My Specific Use Case

I needed this for a very specific reason and it ended up working after some trial and error. I have an 8bitdo N30 Arcade Stick. Those have long since been discontinued and have not been updated to work directly with Switch 2. I read online that this adapter would allow you to use the arcade stick on a Switch 2. Rather than buy a brand new stick, I decided to give it a try.
Updating and plugging it in was no issue. Connecting the old arcade stick to it was a challenge though. Hopefully you've kept your controller manuals handy because you might have to connect a specific way to get this to work. Not nearly as seamless and plugging in directly to the Switch 2, but it does work.

I was having trouble with the bluetooth connection on my motherboard. If I would get a few feet away from the PC it would try to reconnect multiple times. I would get about 2 minutes of gameplay and it would have issues. After purchasing the adapter I can now sit away from my pc and use my bluetooth controller correctly. I used this for a Xbox series X controller. It works amazingly. It says compatibility includes using on Nintendo Switch with it docked. I havent used this feature yet, but purchased a second one to try.

After a long time of using my controller wired from my pc I decided to give this adapter a chance as bluetooth always had a delay and disconnections that made the gaming experience not be good. After weeks of owning and using this adapter I have not had a single issue and have not noticed a delay that is visible. Would recommend and would buy again.

Very easy to use, nice design. Can connect only one controller at a time but that's all I needed. The price is worth it compared to Microsoft's official adapter which is more than double!

What this device does really is incredible! Playing all of my Switch games with a Dual Sense Edge (my favorite controller) is amazing! Using a docked Switch OLED. But I do have to mess with it every few days. Unplug reset my controller, stuff like that. So if you plan on using this, make sure you can still access the device.

I can’t say enough good things about the 8BitDo Wireless USB Adapter 2. I’ve always wanted a way to use my favorite controllers across multiple devices without constantly re-pairing or buying new ones. This adapter solved that perfectly! I primarily use it on my PC and Nintendo Switch, and syncing my DualSense and Xbox controllers was super easy—literally plug it in, follow the instructions, and it just works.
What I love most is how reliable it’s been. There’s no noticeable lag, which is a huge deal for someone like me who enjoys action-heavy games. The compact size is great, too—I can just toss it in my bag and use it wherever I go.
Honestly, this adapter has made gaming so much more enjoyable and less of a hassle. If you’re tired of juggling controllers and compatibility issues, this little device is an absolute lifesaver!
