Great job does what was intended for made my son happy
Bought this to connect PS4 DualShock wirelessly to Tesla Model 3.
Pairing works as per instructions in the box, all controller buttons work, so does vibration.
Would definitely buy again.
Works as expected, gaming on the switch just got a wee bit better. The joycons aren’t great over all with their tiny sticks and drift issues so being able to use my ps4 and xbox 1 controllers is quite excellent.
Great product would recommend if not willing to buy for pro controller. Worth the money very useful
Used to connect both Xbox and PS4 controllers to the Nintendo Switch. Worked perfectly.
When using it with the Nintendo switch, it sometimes connects the controller, but the switch doesn’t see it as connected.
You can get in a loop with this, and getting it to work again can be very frustrating.
It works great 90% of the time though.
Works perfectly with my PS4 controller. I would highly recommend this product. Its really easy to set up, takes less than a minute to set up and get playing.
I bought this to connect my PS4 controller to my Nintendo Switch console and it works perfectly.
Using this on my switch and its works perfectly with a ps4 controller. Just plug and play! I can’t feel any input delay or anything and as I PlayStation man was nice to play Nintendo games on a good controller everything works down to motion controls! Amazing little device
Got this so i could connect my xbox one controller to the switch and it worked beautifully. Was up and running in less than a minute.
Bought to use a PS4 controller on the Switch. Works brilliantly. If you already have a PS4 controller it’s a great alternative to buying the pro controller. All the functionality works including motion controls and rumble.
Connects to ps4 controller to switch while dock. No problems. Only able to conmect one controller.
Excellent product, fitted into rear usb port on switch (with small usb ext cable due to width of adapter) Now the adapter is out of sight and paired with my ps4 dual shock 4 controller, no input lag detected. Great product, recommended.
Works seamlessly for my switch and pc using wii u pro controller. Will be buying another so I can keep one connected to each device without swapping.
The most useful Bluetooth gaming adaptor imaginable. We use it for playing the PS4 Dual Shock on the PC and the Switch!
So versatile and simple to use that it’s effortless. Amazing stuff.
Connects quickly, reliable but sometimes it doesn’t do anything and you have to press the pair button a few times.
Works well with xbox one s controller and 8bitdo n30 pro in Windows 10
So easy to set up, I’m using it with the ps4 controller and it worked first time with ease I would recommend to any one even the motion control works perfect etter then Nintendo’s
Works well allows you to connect Bluetooth controllers to any device
Works perfectly! Does exactly what I wanted, works with my Wii U pro controller and Wii classic controllers and far cheaper than buying all new pads.
Very impressed with this! Used it to set up a PS4 controller on the Switch and PC.
Great job at allowing me to use my ds4 on the switch.
Great product. Works great on the Switch, I connect my PS4 and XBOX 360 controllers and my boys play Zelda and Fortnite perfectly!
Bought to use xbox one controller with Nintendo switch. Works perfectly and saves money on buying a Nintendo pro controller.
Tested on Nintendo Switch with XBox One wireless controller.
First – most importantly, it only supports one controller at a time. Don’t try pairing several, only one will work! They do state this, but you may have not read it in the description.
Second – if you turn off your device instead of sending it to standby, you’ll need to re-pair it (in my experience)
Third – it does what it says. Follow the instructions, and it just works (the button positions are the same, so in my case the A/B and X/Y are reversed, good for muscle memory, but may be confusing otherwise)
If it supported multiple controllers at once it would be near perfect.
It works! That’s all you need from this, right? The plastic around it feels a bit cheap but it doesn’t matter once you plug it in on your switch and pair with your preferred controller. Feels great to be able to use my PS4 controller to play some of my *heavier* switch games when I don’t feel like using it on handheld mode. I was disappointed with the Switch Pro Controller to be honest so this is actually pretty great.
The range is surprisingly good and I haven’t noticed any added input lag. So far I have zero complaints about this product and will highly recommend it to anyone!
since i have an xbox 1, ps4 and a switch i didnt want to to buy separate controllers for each. With this there is no need since it works perfectly
plug in, press the pair button on the usb, place controller into pairing mode. Done.
Simple set up. And it works on Nintendo Switch with ps4 controller.
Easy versatile and usefull as I can’t abide the switch joycons.
My son broke the Nintendo controllers for the switch and at 65 a time to replace it was far cheaper to buy this adapter which will allow him to use his PS4 controller. Very happy.
Excellent device, I didn’t like the Nintendo Pro controller I found that the sticks didn’t move as fluidly as a PS4 controller does, so having the ability to use my Ps4 controller on my switch is brilliant.
Definitely worth the money
Works very well, easy to understand. I saved 50 pound for a nintendo pro controlle
Honestly it’s great and I really couldn’t believe it works! A good feature to add in the next revision would be the ability to add multiple controllers!
I originally bought this to use my PS4 Dualshock 4 on my Switch, and for that purpose it worked great. I’ve then also tried it on macOS for Apple Arcade, and it works great, as well as a Windows PC… where it works great.
Essentially, if you have a controller for one system that you’d like to use on one or more others, you can’t really go wrong.
Brilliant adapter great for using my ps4 contriller on my switch.
Very impressed with the speed of the delivery and the item was in pristine condition, many thanks. Absolutely perfect little device that has saved me loads of money on purchasing yet more controllers. I can use my Wii U Pro Controller on the Switch now with no lag (that I have noticed) and all the buttons work perfectly.
Great bit of kit and set up in a couple of minutes, now I can use ps4 controller on the switch.
Things I hope to see in the future, but I won’t knock down the stars because I knew this BEFORE I bought purchased the adapter so it would be unfair to give it 4 stars:
1. A thinner version or a way to prevent the second USB on the Switch Dock not being blocked off by the width of this USB when connected. I can’t also connect it to the back of the Dock due to it being too wide, making it hit the USB-C and HDMI cable.
2. Being able to connect more than just one controller at the same time to the adapter. I’m not super bothered about this as I am with the first one but it would be super cool to see that.
Super happy with my purchase! For the price, it’s very well worth it compared to buying a wireless Wii U Pro or Switch Pro Controller if you already have a DualShock 4 controller lying around. Not to mention all the other controllers it supports like the Xbox One, Wii Remote and more.
Not a big fan of the Nintendo JoyCons so being able to use my XB1 control is so much more comfortable.
Very useful tool, and super easy to set up. I initially got this so that I could use a PS4 controller for my switch whilst it’s docked (or if my joy cons need charging) and this works perfectly – however it also allows you to use controllers wirelessly on PC too. I’ve started taking it whenever I travel and it’s excellent, I might buy a second one!
Easy af to use can’t believe how good it is, dose not come with the adapter as shown in the pic
Awesome alternative to the official nintendo controllers. I get to use my perfectly good PS4 controller 🙂
Great item, easy to set up and once set up its perfect, use it like you do with an Xbox or PlayStation, just turn on the controller and it’s done
Worked fine but had to watch YouTube video to get it to sync my WiiU pro controller to my Switch. So one start dropped as it didn’t work straight out the box
If you are using Nintendo Switch on a dock and also own a PS4 it is a must buy item! For 15gbp you can connect your ps4 controller that is 100 times better than joycons or even switch pro controller. Works perfectly together with joycon at a same time
Connects really easy to your controllerband stays connected and when you want to play again just turn controller on and it will connect again automatically
There are some not so positive things about using this that I thought people should be aware of:
– Out of the box, the PS4 controller is not able to pair with the adapter that is connected to the Switch. After some research, I found out that the firmware on the adapter needs to be updated. Which can be found on their website, and needs to be done a PC. I wish 8Bitdo had mentioned this in the instructions, but they, unfortunately, didn’t.
– The other problem is that when the PS4 controller is connected to the Switch, the Switch thinks the controller is a wired Switch Pro Controller. Because of this, I can’t seem to find out the battery level of my PS4 controller (since the Switch doesn’t need to show a battery level for a wired controller). This is a pain, as my PS4 controller would randomly die without notifying me earlier.
Apart from that, this product has been a life changer, or dare I say… a game changer 😀
I have used this primarily on my Nintendo Switch to use my PS4 controller with but it also works perfectly with my PS Mini
Works perfectly, gran a switch stand and a short usb to usb c adapter for playing on the move.
Use it on my switch, play with the nintendo pro controller and sync my xbox 1 controller with no issues in game play or lag.
Takes some getting used to but once you know its Brilliant no lag or controller delay, worked with xbox an ps pad on switch 2019 June still works
Awesome product. Allowed me to link PS4 controller to my switch and use it for gaming when playing on the brig screen. Configuration is faultless.
Bought to use with the Nintendo Switch and was able to sync an old PS3 controller to use. Great little product, saves forking out for a brand new controller when you have a load sitting round the house.
Great device, be warned it has two modes at least and you may need to switch them, depends on usage scenarion. Very low latency.
Works well on my pc and I really like the design. They also have a sticker on the adapter with instructions of how to use it on the switch which is really useful.
Used for syncing an Xbox controller to a Nintendo Switch console
Wanted to play fortnite on the switch without buying a pro controller. this does the job and is a breeze to set up. Only downside is that you can’t use the controller aux po
The setup instructions weren’t very clear, but once I figured it out I’ve had no problems connecting my spare DualShock 4. The obvious benefits are that you can use your preferred controller on your Nintendo Switch (many people have a preference for PS4 and XBox control pads) and is an ideal choice if you need a spare Switch controller but don’t want to spend loads of money on the official Nintendo choices if you already have another games console.
There are some drawbacks however. The adapter itself is bulky and blocks ports adjacent to the one it is currently occupying. Also it can only connect to one controller at a time, so if you were dreaming of using this to connect several controllers at a time, you’ll be disappointed.
With all that said you’ll be hard pressed to find a cheaper and reliable alternative to a secondary control pad if you already own a compatible device.
I tested with my ps4 controller and works very well.
I was losing hope of getting an economical solution and started looking at 8BitDo’s excellent controllers, however my Pi 2 still needed a Bluetooth adapter for them to connect and this is their own adapter. I began to read that it worked with the PS4 pad as well, so I took a calculated risk and bought the 8BitDo adapter as I’d need it anyway.
It seemed to pair at first attempt with the Dual Shock, however the Pi wasn’t recognising it. I did a quick search on the internet and found a YouTube video on how to configure it. It simply needed me to go into RetroPie’s Options and then Bluetooth Connections to search for it. It paired at the second time of asking, and allowed me to configure the controller as I wanted.
So, after a bit of legwork and a minor gamble I can happily confirm that 8BitDo’s Bluetooth adapter will allow you to connect a PS4 Dual Shock controller to RetroPie and play your emulators with one of the gaming world’s greatest ever game pads. I’m extremely pleased by this. Thank you 8BitDo.
I can’t tell you how good this is it’s truly amazing. I use a PS4 controller most of the time but I know it works well with Xbox too. I got it cos my hands are to big (lady’s wink wink) for the joy cons to play Zelda for a long time and its alot cheaper than a pro controller..its early the best thing I’ve purchased off Amazon.
Great device, bought it to work with my PS4, control the setup is really easy, but I used a Youtube video how to configure it with PS4, connection is rock solid. I use it with Mario Kart and Mario Ace and the Snes game too. I don’t think the grypo scope function works but I’m not worried about that. Just wanted an inexpensive way of playing games without having logs of controllers dotted round the house. The 8bitdo wireless USB adaptor does the job very well, can’t fault it.
Item as described quality appears ok time will tell average delivery time
Played super smash brothers with a playstation 4 remote without any issues and connecting was easy!
Does exactly what it says in the description and arrived promptly
It does what it says and very easy to connect.
Absolutely brilliant for the switch! I use this to allow me to use my xbox controller on the switch, it helps a lot because I cannot hold the switch controller in a comfortable way at all.
Works a treat. Super easy to set up. Let’s me use my ps4 controller with my switch. Literally as easy as pushing 2 buttons. Unreal.
Bought for the Nintendo Switch and works perfectly. Tested the PS4 controller and Wii U pro controller, couldn’t test a Xbone controller, 360 controller is not compatible. Extremely impressed by how the PS4 controller’s rumble and motion controls are fully functional (Wii U’s ones are not) and would definitely recommend this if the Switch pro controller is too expensive for you. Whilst PS4 controllers are perfect for indies, platformers and traditional fighting games, the button arrangement is not suited for more intense games like Zelda BOTW in which case I just used the joycons. 100% worth it.
Works great. Very easy to set up and pairs fast with PS4 controller on Switch.
This item works perfectly on my Nintendo Switch. I have two plugged in, connecting two Xbox One S controllers which i already own.
Fantastic product, very simple to use. Currently using with PS4 controllers and not had any issues, didnt require any configuration which was good.
Great for connecting a PS4 controller to the switch instead of buying expensive pro controller. It is very easy to use and has virtually zero lag.
came broken. I assume that it wasnt properly flashed however 8bitdo sent me the software I needed to reflash my stick, and it works as intended now.
Great and easy way to connect controller to a different system.
I bought this to add more Bluetooth controllers to our Nintendo switch and this a great value way of doing it.
Just connect a USB hub to the nintendo switch USB C port and connect this, then turn on pro controller in setting on nintendo switch and locate controller you want to use.
Now I can play my switch with PS4 controller, saves me 60 quid on the switch pro controller. Nice!
Using this to play fortnite on switch, I have tried a PS4 controller which works great but the Xbox one controller doesn’t work very well, on the Xbox controller the character spins like there is slight input on the right stick, I have tried this with 4 Xbox one controllers and all did the same. I have also tested this on PC and it works flawlessly including the Xbox one controller so that must just be a switch problem.
Works perfectly with ps4 controller and very easy to set up with the Nintendo switch. Definitely worth the money. I bought this instead of buying new switch controllers so has saved a lot of money.
Cannot recommend this enough, great value for money and can help you at parties when there are not enough controllers. Highly recommend!
This is a fantastic product it’s simple to use and works well will the Nintendo switch I can say anything bad about it, even the box it cam in was well thought out, the only little downside is there are no instructions of how to update it after watching videos online I was still none the wisest but luckily my friend suggested to push and hold the sync button as you connect it to the computer and that did the job beyond that it’s a fantastic well made product and does the job is exactly supposed to do 0 disconnects 0 problems I would highly recommend this product to anyone who would like to use a third party gamepad
Works perfectly. Plug it in to the dock. Change controller settings to Pro Controller Wired Communication ON. Press the pairing button on the dongle til the lights flash rapidly. Press and hold ps button and share button until it pairs. Job done.
This actually worked out cheaper than getting a cheap wired Switch controller too.
Really easy to set up and use, just make sure you enable the option in the Switch’s settings.
Allows me to pair my PS4 controller to the Switch with a fraction of the cost of a Nintendo pro controller! Would highly recommend
Works without a problem on my nintendo switch took a bit of time to pair with my PS4 controller initially but once it did it connects quickly with no input delay
Worked like a charm, managed to connect a DS4 with working motion and rumble. Even worked with my Wii U Pro controller.
Just be aware that it can only pair to one controller at a time and does not support wired controllers as some adapters do.
Want to play Fortnite on Switch with a bit of an advantage? I bought a Scuf PS4 controller recently and decided to try this with it and they pair seamlessly! I can use all of the back-buttons on my new Scuf controller and even the motion controls work perfectly!
The reason I’ve only given it 4 stars is that out of the box mine required a firmware update to work with the xbox controller. There’s no real way for the receiver to relay this information to you of course, but it was a bit frustrating that it didn’t work immediately. Fortunately updating was a painless process and only took a few seconds, but be prepared that you’ll need a PC or Mac on hand potentially to update these, otherwise you won’t be able to use it with Xbox One S controllers.
Once it’s working though, wow! I’m enjoying the Switch so much more now, there are tasks on Mario that before were catching me up that i’m just breezing through with a better controller. I can’t recommend this enough, just remember that you may need to update the firmware.

I bought this due to how expensive extra controllers are for the Switch but I was a bit unsure if it would work as advertised. Once delivered it took about 5 minutes to update the firmware and sync my Dualshock 4 to the Switch although I had to enable the ‘Pro Controller Wired Communication’ option in the settings menu (see screenshot) and then reboot the Switch in order for it to work.
After being setup though I found it works perfectly with the addition of working rumble and motion / gyro controls which was an awesome surprise. The only thing missing is getting wireless audio via the 3.5mm jack on the Dualshock 4 although this might not be possible due to how the Switch works.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to use a more comfortable controller while docked and doesn’t want to fork out 55 on a Pro controller.
Worked flawlessly right out of the box. Connected my Dualshock 4 to PC with zero issues. Control feels as responsive as it does while wired. I look forward to trying it when I eventually pick up a Switch.
This is the 3rd 8bitdo product I have gotten and as usual I was not disappointed. Works perfectly, I can play on my Switch using an Xbox One controller and the experience is the same as with an official Nintendo approved controller, its absolutely flawless.
A brilliant piece of tech that is simple to use and of high quality. Used it to pair PS4 controller to Nintendo Switch and found it works 100% of time with no failure. Obviously relearning immediate buttons takes getting used to (back out, enter etc) but once you are used to it. Plain sailing. Worthy the price definitely.
Tried with an Xbox One pad and PS4 pad on my switch and both work FLAWLESSLY. PS4 pad defo recommended on switch though over Xbox one pad with this as you get the screenshot buttons and you won’t bet confused by A and B being in wrong place.
This also works on my PC allowing those same controllers to work flawlessly on my PC without the need for an official adapter or extra software which would eat up more RAM. So it’s like the jackknife of controller options.
Had no problems with it,synced with my ps4 controller and started using it in a couple minutes
Great way to connect your old wii u pro controller, instead of paying 60 for the switch one
You can use more than one adaptor however you will need a USB hub or USB extension cable as the dongle is too big to plug two in at once on the Switch. If you try to run two adaptors with one USB hub it works but there are controller problems. Plug your USB hub into the USB socket in the back of the Switch dock where the HDMI goes and plug another onto the side of the device. Then with two PS4 controllers and two joycons on their side you can play Mario Kart 4 player.
Works perfectly with my DS4. Easy to set up and has great range and gyro controls with the proper controller.
