MAYFLASH Magic NS Wireless Bluetooth Controller USB Adapter for Switch, Steam Deck, macOS, Windows, Raspberry Pi, Compatible with Xbox Series S/X,PS5 Controller and More

---Update:---My Magic-NS adapter has been working perfectly for nearly 4 years, but I recently ran into an issue and am updating to help others. I've been using the same Xbox One S controller with the Magic-NS adapter on my Switch since my original review without ever updating the firmware on either. I got an Xbox Elite Series 2 for Christmas and had difficulties switching my new controller to the Magic-NS adapter via bluetooth. This is how I got it to work:1. The Xbox One S controller that I had been using wirelessly with the adapter had become bugged. The controller would not disconnect from the adapter and would also not reset. In order to solve this, I connected my Xbox One S controller to my PC via USB cable and updated the firmware on the controller. This caused the controller to change from classic Bluetooth to BLE, which effectively disconnected the controller from the adapter.2. I updated my Magic-NS adapter to the latest version by connecting it to my PC and following the instructions that it came with.3. I connected my Xbox Elite Series 2 controller to my PC via USB cable and reverted the firmware so that it uses classic Bluetooth instead of BLE. I then plugged the Magic-NS adapter back into my Switch dock, made sure it was on the purple setting and attempted to sync the controller wirelessly once again and was successful. It's important to note that it takes much longer for the Elite Series 2 controller to wirelessly connect to the Magic-NS adapter than the One S controller. Once synced, it stays that way. It's been working flawlessly ever since!---Original Review---Boy, am I glad I bought this!After purchasing a Switch at the beginning of the year, I was checking out all of the great accessories that are available and wanted to get a controller to use for when I have it docked instead of always having to use the joycons. I quickly learned that many controllers for the Switch run rampant with problems as well as being ridiculously overpriced (looking at you, Switch Pro Controller). While I wouldn't mind spending money on something of good quality, I just can't purchase something that so many consumers report stopped working right after the return window / warranty runs out. So I decided to have a look at some adapters. I have many Xbox controllers because I own a 360, One S and Series X. I've always preferred the design of an Xbox controller over anything else and thought it would be ideal to be able to use one with my Switch.Upon receiving my product, I was pleased to find that I didn't need to connect it to my pc for any updates for it to work properly. I'm currently using my Xbox One S controller and all I had to do was put the adapter on the purple setting and enable Switch Pro mode on the console. The adapter fits perfectly in the back of the Switch's dock and after about 5 months of using it, it has never disconnected or given me any issues. I like that I can adjust the vibration on the controller to make it stronger or weaker depending on what game I'm playing.There are a few things that I think would improve this product:1.) Turning on the Xbox controller doesn't take the Switch out of sleep mode like it does with the console it's intended for. You have to wake the Switch up via the home button on the joycon.2.) After putting the Switch to sleep, the controller stays on. I remove the battery pack to turn it off instead of waiting forever for it to eventually go to sleep thus unnecessarily draining the charge on the battery pack.3.) I have the button mapping for the controller set to reflect how an Xbox controller should work. While it does save my preset, I have to go into the settings and select it each time I use the controller because it defaults to Nintendo's settings.Regardless of the improvements I feel would make the adapter better, it's important to remember that controllers for other consoles have never been intended to work on a Switch; so the fact that the adapter does just that makes this a genius hack and excellent accessory for the Switch. Despite the minor inconveniences I mentioned, I'm grateful to have found this product and recommend it to anyone who doesn't want to waste money on the low quality, overpriced controllers that Nintendo licenses.

Finally, I can use my Elite Controller with the Switch! Connecting to the dongle takes a little longer than I would like, but once it connects, it works like a charm. There is an option to swap the layout of the face buttons so that they match the actual layout of the controller. However, this has to be done every time you reconnect it to the adaptor, though you can get past this minor annoyance by setting up a profile in the Accessories app if you're using an Elite Controller like I am.I do have a note and a warning:1. Any controller connected to the dongle can't be used to wake the Switch. On top of that, the dongle powers off anytime the Switch goes into sleep mode, and can take up to 20 seconds to reconnect when the Switch wakes up. If you're going wired, then this isn't an issue (more on that later). But if you're wireless, then be a little patient once your system wakes up. Another thing to note is that if you are using the Series 2 Elite Controller (or any controller with an internal battery) and you are wiring your controller to the dongle, be sure to sure to unplug your controller any time the system goes to sleep. If not, then the controller will continue to draw power from the adaptor and it will stop working for awhile. I had this happen to me the first time I tried to use my controller wired and thought that I fried the adaptor! Thankfully, it started to work again a few minutes after leaving it plugged in with the system on. This should be considered a limitation of the Switch hardware and not the dongle itself, as this issue does not occur with the dongle connected to a PC that allows USB power in standby.Overall, I STRONGLY recommend this dongle if you wanted to use you fancy controller with the Switch.EDIT: Turns out that USB controllers CAN be used to wake the Switch while in docked mode. If you're using a wired network adaptor then the USB ports will turn back on when the Switch is put into sleep mode, allowing you to wake the system by pressing the HOME button on the controller. I tested this with both an Xbox one S, Elite Series 2 and a PS4 controller. There is still a delay when waking the Switch with a wireless controller, but wired USB controllers will allow you to wake the system almost instantly. Definitely upped my review a star because of this, because now I can use my Elite Series 2 controller with my Xbox ONE, PC and my Nintendo Switch. I can't recommend this product enough!

In a climate where Controllers will easily run you upwards of $50 and aftermarket pro controllers are rarely listed sub $150, this was a welcomed and refreshing fix to my issue.I currently own the beautiful relic that is a Google Stadia controller and refused to throw it away after Stadia services were sunset - however, I struggled to repurpose my controller so that I could still enjoy its functionality, that was until I discovered this device. I will preface in saying that other reviews are correct, if used for the PS3 it will not allow for a home button function but I work around that with a second controller on standby. Setup is simple after updating, zero latency, consistent connection, and an adapter for USB-C is included for PC adaptions. For the value and price, I must recommend.
