I've been using this to play on my Switch with my PS4 controller. Once you're properly set up and have the controller in-game, it works very well, with the Switch seeming to treat it as a Switch Pro controller with no added lag or problems. However, there are a few caveats: 1. Setup was a bit tricky. Before I got this to work, I had to first un-pair the Switch from all other controllers (including the Joy-Cons). Then I had to enable controller communication via USB in the menu (as this seems to be disabled by default) since the Switch just sees this as a USB-connected controller. Only then was I able to pair the PS4 controller to the adapter. 2. The PS4 controller cannot wake the Switch up on its own, so I have to take the Switch out of the dock, wake it up, and put it back into the dock before turning on the controller. This is not a huge deal but it's a small amount of extra work so I thought I would notice it. 3. The controller sometimes loses pairing when the Switch goes to sleep and needs the adapter re-inserted and the controller re-paired. 4. This is the big one: Occasionally, when you wake up the Switch and power up the controller, the controller will work in the Switch front end menu, but not in a game that you left running while the Switch was asleep. You have to exit and re-start the game for the controller to work. I play a lot of games like JRPGs that have very long cutscenes and/or long stretches between save points, so I frequently have to just pause the game and suspend the system without actually saving. If I wake the game up and the controller suddenly doesn't work without a hard reset of the game, I could lose a significant amount of progress if I had to pause at such a time. For me, this is a huge usability issue and forces me to knock off two stars. Other than that one major issue, this is a nice product that mostly works. FWIW I have only tried it with this one combination of hardware (PS4 controller + Switch) so I can't comment on how well it works with anything else.

Very awesome for MacOS windows arm in desktop parallels hand switch between the os is a breeze

Bluetooth on the nvidia shield isnt the best, made using controllers inconsistent especially for moonlight streaming. This lil device bypasses all that. All i had to do was pair it to my ps5 controller on a pc beforehand and then just plug and play into the shield.

I updated the firmware, which took about two minutes total via my macbook. I plugged it into my system (Evercade VS, an android based video game console), followed the online instructions, and paired a PS4 controller. Boom, PS4 controller on my not-a-PS4 console. Should have done this before buying a crummy wireless 3rd party controller. Much cheaper to use a controller I already had with this dongle.

I recently got the 8BitDo Wireless USB Adapter 2 for my gaming setup, and I'm really impressed. It's super reliable, and connecting my controllers is a breeze—it's genuinely very easy. The wireless functionality is a game-changer, and the fact that it works seamlessly with various controllers is a big plus. If you're looking for a hassle-free way to go wireless with your gaming, I highly recommend it.

It's ok, you plug it into the video game and then you can video games wirelessly

It worked great with my son's controller. He used it to pair it with his switch.

Excelent for my control, connect faster and you can use it for a long distances

Works great. Low latency. Switch Pro controller compatible. Software suite to emulate Xinput. Also wanted to cut down the load on the motherboard's Bluetooth. Love the Nintendo brick housing.

This is a very useful piece of hardware if your kid has multiple consoles like Nintendo, XBox, etc. You can reuse the controllers across different consoles and it saves a ton of money buying different controllers for each. Its also easy to setup.

Works exactly as intended. I forgot to install a bluetooth adapter in my home built pc, stupidly, but this gives me all that I need. Haven’t even tested the other features yet.

Great product! Works well with Xbox consoles and affordable

It's easy to connect and hook up with both switch consoles. It does not require an external battery, and does not heat up after continuous use and long play sessions. The build quality is superb for the price, and I really recommend it for both Nintendo Switches.

Works for its intended purpose. Pairs using blue tooth, super easy with inclided instructions and intuitive. I use 2 of them to connect my PS4 dualshock controllers to my nintendo switch OLED and to my pc. It has a key mapping program you can customize on pc amd then use when connected to a console. Perfect for swapping d-pad and left joystick for movement when playing smash brothers ultimate.

To be honest I expected to notice lag on my Nintendo switch, but I haven’t noticed any at all! I’m using a ps5 dualsense controller, and I tested it with 4 players on mariokart. I will say I prefer using a Nintendo controller but I can’t afford to buy that many pro’s or joycons. This works great for the occasional gaming parties.

I can't find the official Xbox wireless adapter anywhere so I resorted to purchasing this. Thankfully it works great on both my PC and Switch. I've been playing my switch on the TV a lot more that I can use a real controller...I'm enjoying Mario Kart way more. I read that I can only pair one controller at a time so that's why I gave it 4 stars, also it's kinda chunky; otherwise it's awesome.

Works perfectly! Awesome deal! I'm glad Bestbuy carries 8bitdo. Best 3rd party controller/ accessory maker right now other than Hori.

This is a simple plug, pair and play dongle that allows you to use your favorite controller via any game system / PC that you want. Was easy to set up and use. I got it so I could specifically use my Xbox controller on my Switch. Love it and definitely worth the price.

Worked the way it was advertised. No issues. Set the pick up while we were on travel and didnt get a chance to grab it. Bestbuy made it convenient by providing options to ship to another location. Used their options menu to have the method of delivery changed from in store pickup to home delivery. No issues there. Good experience overall.
