I got it to use Xbox controllers on Switch, easy to use. One adapter will only work for one controller, if you have two controllers, you’d need to get two adapters. My only complaint is it’s too wide to fit two of this adapters on switch directly, you’d have to get an extension for one of them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, Xbox Series X|S on Nintendo Switch WIRELESS
Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2022
This review is for the new (Amazon date first available 12/6/2021, version 2) “8Bitdo Wireless USB Adapter 2”.
Short version:
Confirmed, as of 1/20/2022, the new “8Bitdo Wireless USB Adapter 2” completely supports Xbox Series X|S controllers in Bluetooth BLE wirelessly on Nintendo Switch. Bluetooth pairing is under 3 seconds. Reconnection is about 2 seconds after the initial pairing. No lag from what I could experience. All buttons, including the new Share button, can be remapped by using 8bitdo Ultimate Software. However, profile needs to be reactivated every time Switch wake up from sleep. Which is a bit troublesome.

Long version:
I have been using four 8bitdo SN30 Pro+ and Pro2 controllers on my two Nintendo Switches for almost two years. SN30 Pro’s are great controllers. 8bitdo has great after sale support especially frequent firmware upgrades to fix problems. Things changed over Thanksgiving time. I bought my first Metrodvania 2D side scroll platform game, Ori and the Will of the Wisps. The left stick of SN30 pro2 hurt my left thumb after long play because of its position. BTW, I am 60 years old, most players are younger than me and most likely won’t have my problem. I also have four Playstation 4 controllers but they have the same left stick position. Xbox controller should help because left stick is on top and closer to edge so my left thumb does not have to extend wide as on the SN30 Pro2 and Dualshock4.
Bought a Xbox Series X|S controller over black Friday sale from COSTCO and discovered it does not work with the Mayflash Magic-NS and Magic-N I already have. Though Mayflash adaptors claimed they work with all Xbox controllers. Later found out this was because Xbox Series controllers now use Bluetooth BLE instead of the Classic mode. I spent days researching and couldn’t find much information other than everybody just reported how they couldn’t use Xbox series control on Switch. BTW, there are cumbersome or expensive (more than $30) way to do it but I don’t want to either use two adapters in serial, nor pay more than $30 to buy another adaptor, so this new Xbox Series controller can only be used to play Dolphin emulator games on PC. BTW, it works great with Dolphin emulator on PC.
I regain hope after reading someone in different item review on Amazon mentioned the 8Bitdo Wireless USB Adapter 2 works with his Xbox Series controller. I decided to give it one more try. I don’t want to bore you with how difficult is was for me to finally receive this adaptor 14 days after ordering with Prime shipping, just hope your purchase experience will be easier than mine.
Today I am playing Ori on switch with Xbox Series X|S controller WIRELESSLY. Happy ending.

Wanted to get more life out of my Wii U wireless controller and works great with my Switch. Easy to use and reconnects easy when needed. Very happy with using with the Switch!

It technically still works, but the adapter and controller randomly started to disconnect mid usage. Once it started, it started happening more frequently. Still usable, but a bit unreliable because of the disconnection. I have tried other firmware versions, and the recent 4 did not fix the issue.

I didn’t think this would work but I used it to adapt my Xbox controller to my switch and it worked perfectly! Just know that if you are looking to do the same the Xbox will work like a pro controller for Nintendo and the buttons are all swtiched around.

5.0 out of 5 stars Phenomenal
Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2024
I have a handful of Xbox controllers, but Tears of The Kingdom is occupying all my time. I’ve got a nice Switch pro controller, and a couple of the Nintendo licensed controllers that are specific to the Switch. Unfortunately, my kids are pretty rough on those controllers, and now they’re all experiencing stick drift, and this goofy thing where when you’re walking forward, all of a sudden Link will turn around and look into your soul.

I heard that you could pair your other controllers to the Switch with the right equipment, but I was hesitant since the reviews were mixed and seemed to have tilted slightly toward the negative. I do not understand, outside of operator error, how you could have essentially anything negative to say about this product. Yes, I was a bit confused at first when trying to pair, but a quick YouTube search revealed exactly what the issue was, and I was able to quickly correct it and get back to grinding. The product pairs quickly and easily. Also, contrary to what some other reviews seemed to have said, the Xbox controllers still have the rumble. I also like the responsiveness of the Xbox controllers more than the Switch controllers, as well as the button feel.

I really can’t recommend this enough. No more spending $70 on a Pro controller that’s just going to crap the bed in a couple months.

5.0 out of 5 stars It only pairs to one device at a time. Not a standard BT receiver!!!
Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2024
I bought this strictly for the Playstation Classic so I can pair them with my PS5 controller. I had to buy a special micro USB hub that daisy chain from the power source from the Playstation Classic console but it does work with it. I ended up buying 2 of this product not knowing at the time it was 1 dongle to 1 controller pairing even though it's a Bluetooth device. Hence why I only gave 3 stars on value, even though I was going to give it a 2 I realized that it does hook up to the PC and Switch so I guess it has some added value.
I could understand why on a console it is one to one pairing due to how the console may interact with the controller but the PC, now that I can't see the limitation.

Pairing is simple, it's pretty much plug and play.

Longevity wise I'm not sure but I do hope that this dongle would be useful in the future even if it's something niche.
