I have the original brown one of these for my nintendo switch.
Works wonders using a dualshock 4 on the switch.
The biggest weakness of this adapter is it cannot pair more than one controller at a time.
This playstation classic version is the same as the brown ones, just in silver.

Here's a video on what you can do with it.
Apparently works with a bunch of controllers like the wii controllers too.

  That is a great design. I wish I had a flash drive that looks like that.

  So this is basically just a Bluetooth adapter? I'd still buy it for that design

    It's an adapter that allows you to use third party controllers on a nintendo switch.
    PS4 controllers on switch, Xbox controllers, even Wii controllers.
    You can use this on a pc however its not worth it for pc, its mainly for nintendo switch.

      DualSense works also for those curious; has replaced my 8-Bitdo as my Switch's main these days :D

      May I just ask why it's not worth it for PC? It seems to do a stellar job linking my dualshock 4 wirelessly to the PC. Am I missing something?

        It's not worth it for pc mainly because since most modern controllers are bluetooth enabled, pretty much means you can use bluetooth directly instead of relying on a receiver. So you don't need to buy an accessory if you're using it on pc.

          @kkkkkkkat: Oh right, my pc doesn't have a receiver so I'm pretty sure this is cheaper. This works perfectly fine with my Dualshock 4 on PC.

          Edit: For people who want more details to connect a Dualshock 4 to PC, watch out for buying cheap dongles, some just don't work at least for controller use, so you can end up wasting 5 bucks on something that doesnt even work.

            @sofasty: Second this. 5 dollars dongle not worth your time to return them. Even it actually connects, latency is another issue.

  Missed it, looks interesting

  Still available but up to $27 atm…

  I wanted this for retro pi because it seemed to be the most fuss free way to connect controllers. iirc you just hold the sync button like you would on a xbox.

  • 

    kkkkkkkat on 24/12/2020 - 02:13

    It is fuss free, however you can only connect 1 controller at a time.
    Hopefully we'll see 8bitdo releasing an upgraded version that deals with that weakness in the future.

      AustriaBargain on 24/12/2020 - 03:11

      Pi does have four USB ports, but they are so close to each other that probably only one of these would even fit at a time.

  You can usually get these for around $25 on eBay. Got mine here….

  Using this for xbox controller on the switch. Way better than the FLAT joycons with no grips.

    Latency seems bearable.

    AustriaBargain on 24/12/2020 - 03:11

    No NFC reader tho. Or Hd rumble.

      Yea sadly. But I do game on pc too, so the dongle is plug and play for me if I wanna switch platform.
