    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.

    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.

    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 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.

    Game Changer! I use it with an Xbox controller

    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.

    It's small, durable, and works for almost any controller you throw at it. The only controllers I found that this adapter didnt work with was some older more niche controllers such as the guitar controllers for rockband 4 on the xbox one. but all mainstream and modern controllers it works just fine.

    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.

    Does exactly what I expected and needed. Works every time and has no delay. Would buy again if needed. Best Buy comes through as always. Ordered for store pick up and it was ready to go when I arrived. If you need to replace a controller adapter this one does the trick.

    This is an excellent little Bluetooth device. This allows me to connect my XBOX wireless controller to my PC since the board does not have bluetooth on it. It connects to anything I connect to my PC (iPad, game controller, phone, wireless headset, etc.) and the price was pretty decent. I plan on buying another one here soon as well.
