8Bitdo Wireless Controller Bluetooth Adapter for Switch, Windows, Mac, & Raspberry Pi

Yes I use mine on my receiver. It works on the usb receiver of theirs as well. This one: 8Bitdo Wireless Bluetooth Adapter for Nintendo Switch, Windows, Mac, & Raspberry Pi https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0786JC6VW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_v4ioFb3PKFAXD

I use an 8bitdo wireless adapter to connect a Xbox controller and PS4 controller to my switch and it works great.

I have this one and yes it does.

Yes sir

I’m using the 8bitdo Wireless Bluetooth Adapter:

I got an 8bitdo adapter. I had tried the Switch Pro controller. It was alright but started to suffer from drift really bad. Xbox controllers are made better.

I use the 8bitdo wireless Bluetooth adapter. It’s fantastic!

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0786JC6VW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_UO9gEbM2M6RDC

i got it on amazon, originally said it would ship in like 4 weeks but i got it in 1 i think?

it took a minute to setup because once you connect the xbox controller to it, you have to hold left bumper and select to let it connect the adapter to the switch.

Like the other user said: You need some kind of adapter, but I thought I would add that Mayflash and 8BitDo are two that are often recommended

Well, I have it myself on PS4, on pc, and on switch, and while nobody really plays it on switch, it's absolutely fantastic to be able to play Switch on the go, just link up your hotspot on your phone and play anywhere!

It's NOT recommended to play split screen with just your joycons, so what I recommend is spending a little money ($20) on an 8bitdo Bluetooth Adapter, so that you can simply connect your PS4 controller rather than buying a wireless Pro controller.

One adapter connects one controller, then you can split screen with a pair of joycons and a PS4 controller!

If you want some friends, I've got it on switch, so feel free to send me a DM and I'll give you my switch code!

i bought the 8BitDo adapter; amazon is the easiest place to find it probably!

I had the same problem and it was driving me nuts. My 2017 shield is in a media cabinet behind the wall that my TV hangs on. Since my Xbox sits in the same cabinet and didn't exhibit any Bluetooth issues I was quite confused.

Upon further research, I guess the Bluetooth chip in the Shield is somewhat underpowered and can have range/interference issues.

I picked up an 8Bitdo dongle off of Amazon, updated the Xbox controller, updated the new dongle, synced everything and the problem vanished.

I've never tested with one of these TVs but my guess is it's a system limitation. Xbox One S behaves differently in Bluetooth mode than in USB mode, which means its needs a different driver that probably isn't installed or needs to be updated.

Xbox One S hasn't worked very well on Linux until fairly recently. Both your Android phone and Samsung TV run Linux-based OSes which means they should use similar gamepad drivers. Probably your phone is running a newer version of the Linux kernel that's already been patched to work better with Xbox One S, which is why you see the correct buttons in the Android app but the TV gets it wrong.

As a workaround you can get an adapter that makes your Xbox One S look like a compatible USB gamepad. I can't personally vouch for it, but I've heard good things about the 8bitdo adapter:

I use this one for the Warriors of Rock wiitar. https://www.amazon.com/-/es/Wireless-Bluetooth-Adapter-Nintendo-Switch-Raspberry/dp/B0786JC6VW/ref=sxin_12_ac_m_pm?ac_md=1-0-TWVub3MgZGUgVVMkMjU%3D-ac_d_pm&cv_ct_cx=8bitdo&dchild=1&keywords=8bitdo&pd_rd_i=B0786JC6VW&pd_rd_r=b4180e02-976f-4b81-aa2a-6631febc4d40&pd_rd_w=OkpSr&pd_rd_wg=vvht0&pf_rd_p=14719209-e059-46b3-be1a-859d16f01f7e&pf_rd_r=39KBT47XMRFD0KZMHHRA&psc=1&qid=1592229812&sr=1-1-3f74d940-526b-436f-a83d-f486577edf4d

I use one and it’s plug and play with 8bitdo usb adapter, this thing works on pretty much anything.

edit: here it is:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0786JC6VW/ref=ppx_yo_mob_b_track_package_o0_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I don't think there are any programs, but This should work

yep! heres one, i think its cheaper than a lot ive seen too, but its good to do your own research. thought i would give you an example.

https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Bluetooth-Adapter-Nintendo-Switch-Raspberry/dp/B0786JC6VW/

This is what I needed! It appears that it doesn't support more than one controller, it is that correct? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0786JC6VW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_d3kLFbKGHR125

I can second that 8bitdo adapter.

I got this instead

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0786JC6VW

Yes! That's the one I ordered. Specifically this 8Bitdo Wireless Bluetooth Adapter for Nintendo Switch, Windows, Mac, & Raspberry Pi https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0786JC6VW/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_i_H8WLEbBKHZHAR

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0786JC6VW/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_2?smid=A16R1QAPD193RU&psc=1 this is the one im looking at

There's an adaptor for all controllers for the switch https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Bluetooth-Adapter-Nintendo-Switch-Raspberry/dp/B0786JC6VW/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&qid=1521054301&sr=8-1&keywords=8bitdo+wireless+usb+adapter&linkCode=sl1&tag=bachelordigsc-20&linkId=ba61acd4d481878eb632f1025a3cee46

That's one perfect reply! Thank you very much for this.

I guess I have better chances with the PC module for my raspberry but what's your take on that?

Also, is it working via Bluetooth or solely via USB cable? I've seen some posts regarding a Bluetooth approach, is that different? If that's the case, a combination of the PCB and a https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Bluetooth-Adapter-Nintendo-Switch-Raspberry/dp/B0786JC6VW/ref=sr_1_2?m=A2UWVAXOHJ0A2X&marketplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER would do the trick?

I've heard it has connectivity problems with multiple controllers and that it's best to use one of these for each controller https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Bluetooth-Adapter-Nintendo-Switch-Raspberry/dp/B0786JC6VW

I use a PS4 controller with the 8bitdo Bluetooth Adapter and it always gives me PS4 controls.

Here's it on Amazon

This is what you want

Controllers need to be programmed to work with switch, so no none of them will work natively. However...

https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Bluetooth-Adapter-Nintendo-Switch-Raspberry/dp/B0786JC6VW

This will allow you to connect most any bluetooth controller to a switch

I'm responding because some of the comments are incorrect or imply it has a single purpose.

>And my question is, what is it for?

From the product page: > * For use with Xbox One S/x Bluetooth Controller, PS4, PS3, Wii Mote, Wii U Pro wirelessly on Nintendo Switch. Support DS4 motion and rumble features. > * For use with 8Bitdo controllers, Nintendo Switch Pro, Nintendo Switch Joy-Con, PS4, PS3, Wii Mote, Wii U Pro and more, wirelessly, on Windows PCs, Macs, Raspberry Pi, laptops, tablets

The first bullet point is showing that it can connect a variety of controllers to the Nintendo Switch. The second bullet point is showing that it can work like a Bluetooth receiver, and allow controllers to connect to PC, Macs, Raspberry Pi (Android), etc... Pretty much anything that allows a USB controller to be plugged in.

The device emulates a wired controller, you choose what type of controller by setting the mode. It is not a typical Bluetooth dongle, as it only allows a single controller to connect and it passes those inputs through as whatever controller type you said to emulate. So if you connect the dongle to your PC, you could connect a Wiimote and tell the dongle to pretend is an Xbox controller, and the result would be the PC acting like an Xbox controller is connected. If you want more than one controller connected, you need multiple adapters.

If you're using an 8BitDo product, it will connect to most systems without the use of the dongle.

>I mean doesn't the controller have bluetooth on itself?

Yes. The controller has Bluetooth.

>I'm planning in using it with my nintendo switch, my pc and my phone (galaxy s7) do i also need to buy the adapter or can i just buy the controller and call it a day?

You can just buy the controller and call it a day, if your PC has Bluetooth (or a Bluetooth dongle).

This is what I just did. This was the Bluetooth dongle I bought, and it works great with my ps4 controller.

You would need an adapter.

Either a Mayflash Magic-NS or an 8bitdo adapter.

You would need an adapter like this. It translates the Bluetooth commands from the DS4 into XInput, which allows Windows to think it's an Xbox controller.

here ya go

I use the 8BitDo adapter, and I love it.

You can only use 2 at a time, though.

I know that 'hey spend money' isn't the answer you're probably looking for, but I use the 8bitdo adapter so I can sync my controllers to my Switch and it has worked very well for my PS4 to Steam.

Get one of these and use whatever controller you want:

I have this adapter by 8bitdo

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0786JC6VW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_FKqOFbQ6SC7PX

Check out on of 8bitdos adapters . I got one to sync my Xbox one controller to my switch because I was not paying for a new pro controller or joy con. There are a few limitations so I would read that before a purchase. But it's works on more than just SWITCH!

Amazon has some cool alternative controllers and 8bitdo has the adapter and I believe some controllers

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0786JC6VW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_OEE5Eb8P565CH

Anyone have experience with this 8bitdo bluetooth adapter? Link

How's the connection? will use it to bind PS4/XBox one controllers.

The game has minimal graphical differences between the 2 ports outside of resolution upscaling docked and undocked. If the game doesnt hold your interest on switch, I dont think another platform will fix that issues. If its strictly a controller related concern you should just buy an 8bitdo adapter so you can use any xbox or ps4 controller on the switch.

OK, broski I had the same problem. Here's what I did. I got an 8bitdo adapter. Upgrade the firmware for it, super easy to do. Pair your Elite S2 to the adapter it has better range anyway. The controller will work perfectly. Here's the Amazon link:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0786JC6VW/ref=cm_sw_r_apa_i_PTMBEbCM7P8GW

here you go

If you want that feature badly enough, I’ve heard thisthis can make it happen. Plug the adapter into your Switch dock, pair the controller with the adapter instead of the switch, and voila, the home button can wake it from sleep.

No personal experience with this adapter, I only heard it online from other users.

If you have a PS4 controller and you like that you might consider getting this.

I have this one and it works great with my PS4 controllers. One thing I didn’t know before buying it though is that it only works with one controller at a time
