    Easy setup, 1 month in w/ no issues or lag

    Got it so I could use my new xbone controller with my desktop, which doesn't have any Bluetooth capabilities. It worked great as soon as I plugged it in, just need to hold the buttons on it and the controller for a sec and they pair right up. I've been using it for about a month now and it's had no issues, I don't notice any input lag at all with my rig. Definitely worth trying if you can't find any official adapters.

    I can’t say enough good things about the 8BitDo Wireless USB Adapter 2. I’ve always wanted a way to use my favorite controllers across multiple devices without constantly re-pairing or buying new ones. This adapter solved that perfectly! I primarily use it on my PC and Nintendo Switch, and syncing my DualSense and Xbox controllers was super easy—literally plug it in, follow the instructions, and it just works. What I love most is how reliable it’s been. There’s no noticeable lag, which is a huge deal for someone like me who enjoys action-heavy games. The compact size is great, too—I can just toss it in my bag and use it wherever I go. Honestly, this adapter has made gaming so much more enjoyable and less of a hassle. If you’re tired of juggling controllers and compatibility issues, this little device is an absolute lifesaver!

    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.

    DO NOT BUY - IT ACTUALLY SUCKS SO BAD.

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    TL;DR at the end - I thoroughly read reviews for this before purchasing. I found one specific review that said it worked perfectly with the series 2 elite controller. The usb C port on mine is janky beyond repair on my controller, so I tried my PC’s built in bluetooth connection to play wirelessly. It was absolute garbage and had a FULL 1-2 second delay on inputs at times. This is why I decided to purchase the adapter, because the advertising material and reviews stated it would provide a better connection. IT DOES NOT DO ANYTHING DIFFERENTLY FOR WINDOWS!!! I drove 40 minutes on my one day off to purchase this device and was extremely dissapointed to see it provides 0% improvement in connection. I am honestly shocked how good the reviews are. Sure, it WILL connect to your controller easily, but the connection is HORRIBLE! Its exactly the same latency as built in bluetooth for windows. Im returning this as soon as i have the time. TL;DR - Connects easily, latency from connection is complete trash, with full 1-2 second delays of input at times. Do not buy this for windows, its just as bad if not worse than built in bluetooth capabilities.

    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.

    I bought two of these to use with my PS5 controllers. They work well enough, although there can be a noticeable lag or hiccup when the dongle isn't super close (10 feet) or is slightly obstructed at all (plugged into the back of the PC)

    I was using the Asus Bluetooth adapter previously and was getting delayed inputs with my PS5 controller. Once I got this and setup the app on my PC. I never have that issue! Big recommendation to anyone experiencing issues with their controllers while playing!

    Took a while to get working with the switch, but that was my fault. You have to go to settings and enable wired pro controller option. As soon as i connected my elite series 2 controller, it was so much more confortable! No issues with latency, and is comparable with regular Nintendo controllers.

    Works great with basically any controller that you'd want to use. The lag is basically non existent and having rumble functionality on the controller is also nice. My only want would be being able to connect more than 1 controller but over it's a great product.

    I’ve been using it very often with my pc for controller-supported games and it shows little to no lag. There has been a couple of times i got disconnected all of the sudden. I had to reconnect. Other than that i am happy with it
