Customer Ratings & Reviews

It does not allow to use audio over ps4 controllers. It only works to use the ps4 controller.

Didn't work and was unfortunately a waste of a buy. It was advertised as working for the 360 controller but doesn't

Bought this to connect my dualshock controller to my pc to play call of duty warzone but it did not work.

Didn’t work with my Windows PC for my Xbox controller kinda disappointing for me :(

Wrong description said wireless connection, but it is wireless Bluetooth not what I needed

Was broken out of the box. Returened it. Woukd not recommend.

Does not work with the new Series X controllers. So useless.

DOES NOT WORK FOR ANY OF OUR XBOX CONTROLLERS!!!!!DS

WASN'T THE RIGHT ADAPTER FOR I NEEDED. CONNECT HEARING AID TO COMPUTER.

Couldn’t get this piece of poop to work. Hot garbage. Save your money.

Plain and simple: it’s GARBAGE. DO NOT BUY. Don’t say I didn’t tell you so.

I think I wasted my money. Couldn't get controller to work with ps4

didn't work for me on my pc. Tried up and down to get a response.

Didn't work from the start maybe i had a defective one.

To use this adapter your device must have an available USB type A port. This can be achieved with a micro USB type B OTG cable on older smart phones, and a USB type C to USB type A on newer smart phones and laptops. Firmware update tool, PDF manual, and DualShock 3 pair tool is available on 8bitdo's website. I use this adapter to use my DualShock 4 device that accepts Xbox 360 wired controllers. This is accomplished by setting the 8bitdo adapter into Xinput mode. This has made my DualShock 4 compatible with Android TV OS, Android mobile OS, and Windows 10 OS. This is good for devices that do not have Bluetooth. If your device has Bluetooth the use of a DualShock 4 controller can be used by other means, but I like being able to move the 8bitdo adapter from device to device as a plug and play solution instead of having to go through a pairing process every time. The firmware has 3 other modes: Nintendo Switch, Mac OS, and Dinput mode. The first two I feel are self explanatory. TL,DR: Dinput is still relevant for older games, mecha games, and flight simulators with elaborate hardware controls. Dinput mode is an older protocol used by older games such as "Driver". This requires mapping the buttons within the game itself. The Dinput mode is superior when it comes to games with complex controls such as flight simulators. Some flight simulator hardware setups are quite elaborate with yaw pedals, toggle switches, engine power control levers, and too many individual inputs to be supported by Xinput.

My son used the 8BitDo to connect his PS4 dualshock controller to the PC to play Fortnite. Synching was quick and easy; my 11-year old did it by himself. He had no complaints and said there was no lag. He also used it to pair his PS4 controller to his Switch, since his joy-cons were drifting. Great product.

This works right out of the box with just a pairing. It drops connection sometimes but for the price is a perfect option that requires very minimal setup.

Not bad good plugs right in and get working pretty fast

Purchased these to add wireless controllers to the Evercade VS. Works great.

To use, the product sounds super simple. "Push the button on the adapter, then the one on your controller and BOOM!" That is certainly not the case for the PS3 controller. For that, you need to put the dongle in a FW update mode, and download the "PS3 Pairing App" off the 8BitDo website. The app is a total headache under Windows due to drivers and signing. After 30 minutes I gave up and did it on a Mac instead. Once the pairing issue is resolved, the controller and dongle work well either on a Switch (with the wired Pro Controller setting enabled), or on my PC. If you don't have a Mac and just want something to work out of the Box, I'd just get an Xbox controller instead of dorking around with this. Otherwise, if you tinkering and to breath new life into your PS3 controllers, then give this a shot.
