Huge shout out to y'all & this video, started playing Breath of the Wild and didn't like how joy cons or gamecube controller felt. Was about to overpay for a switch pro controller for $60-70 but found this video first and ended up saving $50 while playing with the best controller on the market that I happened to already own. Thank you!
We just don't seem to get that many views, guess TH-cam doesn't like us so doesn't show our videos to many 🤣 thank you though, really appreciate the support
Great video!!! Only thing I would add, would be to walk players how to switch the A and B buttons because for Nintendo switch they are backwards. Other than that perfect video!!!!
Great video 👍🏼😊 Two questions: 1. Let’s say you have both ps5 and switch and activate the ps5 controller. What consul gets activated. The ps5, switch or both? 2. Can you fit two dongs at the same time in the switch docking station which makes it avaliable for instance to play Mario Kart with to ps5 controllers at the same time? Thank you! 🙏🏼
Thank you! If the dongle is attached it'll connect to the Switch first as that's what's most recently paired to the controller. You'll need to repair the controller with the PS5 when you want to use it with that. If you use a USB extension it should work with two dongles but I don't think they'll fit correctly if trying to use without an extension :)
I do have the v1 of the adapter(the orange one), and I can confirm that the dualsense works perfectly fine with the switch, I just updated the firmware on it and it worked like a charm, shout out to 8bitdo for including all the features for the old version in their latest update, great channel btw
@@waffleson45 now that you mentioned it, it has happened to me once in the last 6 months but I didn't give it any importance since I used the same controller on my PC via bluetooth before and it did the same thing a couple of times, so now I wonder if its the dualsense, the 8bitdo adapter or the bluetooth card on the PC
Two adapters, yeah it does have two usb inputs but you'd probably need to buy a USB hub to plug in because you can't fit two adapters side by side they're too big
Small question: does the Adapter fit into the inside USB Port of the Nintendo switch dock station? My wireless headset also uses a Adapter and two adapters would not fit on the outside ports.
I’m about to make videos like this but with less talking and straight to the point, 14 mins is too much just for this easy method and I came across this video after the last video ended
absolute garbage battery life on the ps5 dual sense controller, 3-4 hours with constant heavy use, leave it alone for a few days and it goes dead, buyer be aware.
Great video! I own a switch but consider buying the DS5, just wanted to check if it will work with: 1. Other wireless adapter as the 8bit seems to be sold out everywhere online... and also 2. Until I find a wireless dongle, can I connect the DS5 with the switch directly with the cable?
I bought it and it arrived just an hour ago, works splendidly! Really my only gripe with it is the fact that you'll need one adapter per controller, which I must've overlooked before I bought it. That means if I want to play with my girlfriend and she wants to use her dualsense, too, we'll require a second adapter. Other than that, it's formidable.
@@Lean_Dad nah fam, I mean a human that is gendered female and happens to be in a non-platonic relationship with me. What would a review gain from a claim such as this one. I might have just as well said "my friend/s" instead of girlfriend, and if I had neither of those, said remark would have been unnecessary, as I would not have had to test to see if a second controller can be added or not. I do however commend you on using the correct "you're". Rather unexpected to see Patrick Star use correct grammar.
Bro this isn't nothing new they've made adapters in order for you to use Xbox or PlayStation controllers with the switch. For a minute here I was thinking all you had to do is synchronize it to the switch. I don't own a PC so yeah
Nintendo being a pain in the ass again.. The bitdo pro+ connects to the switch normally, but blutooth audio will then work like shait, or the controller is laggy af. How does this dongel perform with bluetooth audio? And can you only connect 1 controller to the dongel?
I have a Xbox one, a PS4, a Wiimote with classic pro, IINE joycons, original joycons, a generic pro controller and Nexilux joycons. I play with a different one every day
Hows the vibration and controlls and hows the gamplaying feel like when playing with the ps5 controller over joycons and the pro controller and just any controller you've tried. If you dont mind my asking
I always use the official Pro controller myself but this is really good, saves a lot of money if you have one of these already and not a Pro controller
I've been using the grey ps1 classic version 8bitdo for years and the NES and SNES classic 8bitdo for even longer, recently they started randomly disconnecting on PC and switch did that ever happen for you? Even happens when the controllers are fully charged.
What if I don’t want to connect it directly on the TV what other adapter would I need to connect the 8bit directly into the switch? And how would I update the 8bit? Sorry, I got one from my bf and I have no clue how the Nintendo switch works. So all the tips would be great 😂
You may be able to get a usb-c to usb-a adapter and plug it into the switch itself but I haven't tried that myself. Update it via the pc, pretty sure I show how to do that in the video?
I don't know if it works when connected/paired with the switch, but by default, you should be able to turn off the ps5 controller by pressing and holding the PlayStation logo button for 5-10 good long seconds.
Thanks gonna use this for live a live on my oled. My switch's A button required a hard press to work. Was already seeing joy con prices at 107€. So yea. Thanks. And my ps5 controller feels way nicer in my hands too. Really happy with this solution. Can even connect my headphones to the controller now unlike with switch, whereas I could still use Bluetooth on my lg c1 with that. Now I will play with either Bluetooth headphones or wired with my controller.
Every controller, on any platform, is susceptible to drift unless using joysticks that work via a magnetised system. If you have a controller that's drifting on Switch though and want to use a different controller using this adapter then yeah, providing that new controller doesn't have drift then you'll be fine.
@@128KB the question I asked in the youtube search bar is “can I use my ps5 controller with my switch” and the answer is no only until you have an adapter that even makes it possible. So the answer is no. Guy 🤨👌🏽🤦🏽
The firmware update for the 8bitdo for DS5 compatibility has been out for some time man. edit: works for the orange, grey and black 8bitdo wireless adapter. Just flash the new firmware onto it. Forgot to mention: No NFC, no wake up with home, 3.5 mm jack won't work. And it sucks it doesn't work in table top mode, unless some extra adapters used. Still Pro Controller the way to go for me.

Do I need to follow all these steps every time I wanna play?
Nope, once the controller is connected that's it :)
With Mario Sunshine does the trigger differentiate between light and full press like the GameCube did?
