Mayflash Magic-NS Wireless Controller Adaptor Compatible with NeoGeo Mini (Nintendo Switch/PC) Rev1.2

I bought the previous model (V1.0 rather than V1.2) a long time ago and I am happy to say upon putting it into my recently purchased Switch 2, it still works. Great piece of kit that can save you a ton of money on pro controllers.

I have used this to connect a PS3 controller to use with the Switch, and it works perfectly, we needed another controller to play lego undercover and at £60 i couldn't justify a set of joy cons, so bought this to try.Took a while to work out how to connect the PS3 controller as the instructions are useless, but it turned out to be obvious, you need to make sure the Magic-NS is flashing red, and then connect the controller to it using the PS3 charging cable, it synced immediately, we could then unplug it and use it wirelessly, all the buttons work as expected so is easy to get used to.I plan to buy another 3 of these plus a usb hub so we can have four player mario cart.We also have PS4 controllers should we ever need the gyro, but so far the unused PS3 controller has been perfect.

A few reviews here are a bit outdated now. To enable Dualshock rumble and motion:* Update the dongle to v1.19+ using a PC.* Set "pro controller over usb" in your Switch menu.* Press the button on the dongle until the LED turns purple.MOTION - The controls themselves work very well. After testing them in Splatoon 2 and Zelda I do feel they are slightly less accurate than Nintendo controllers when aiming to the sides, but otherwise not bad at all. They're certainly good enough for the 'waggle' motions Mario Odyssey requires. If motion is the only thing tempting you towards a Pro Controller instead, I definitely recommend giving the updated Mayflash a try as an alternative.RUMBLE - This is a little more hit and miss. Games with basic feedback like Zelda work great and are perhaps even an improvement if you prefer the feel of Dualshock 4 rumble. HOWEVER, you may find that some HD rumble games just don't translate well to standard rumble: Mario Odyssey uses it for so many reasons that your controller will practically be rumbling nonstop. Splatoon almost works properly, but the indistinguishable vibrations felt when moving through ink safely and taking damage might be confusing enough to put you at a disadvantage.If this bothers you, vibrations can usually be turned off on a per game basis, and some like Mario Kart even work absolutely fine, so it's not a huge issue. Ultimately I think it's a good feature to have, but it's still definitely one of the main trade offs compared to a more expensive Nintendo controller.OVERALL PROS - There isn't really any noticeable input lag, it fits nicely out of sight inside the back compartment of the Switch dock, has a good wireless range, works with a variety of wired/wireless controllers (with a more reliable d-pad than the Pro), all Switch buttons are accounted for (on DS4) and it doesn't need to be touched once you are set up other than to assign new controllers.CONS - Only one player can connect per dongle, motion feels a little more sluggish turning to the sides than up/down, games might give inconsistent feedback if designed for HD rumble (see above) and the console can't be switched on remotely with the controller.

The adapter itself works fine and is very easy to set up however I've noticed a few issues with it.1. There seems to be a slight amount of input lag compared to when I use the same controllers on PC (this includes wired to the adapter and wireless)2. When using the Xbox controller via wireless, the HOME button (bright XBOX button in the middle) doesn't work at all however if plugged in it works fine. I've tried a DS4 with the adapter too and it seems to work fine both wired and wireless so I think there's a bug in the firmware with the Xbox controller specifically. Not a big issue but it does mean you will have to use the Xbox controller wired if you want to be able to go back to the home screen (unless you have a joycon on the side for that).Overall 4 stars. Would be 5 stars if the issue with the Xbox controllers was fixed.Edit: the middle xbox button seems to be working now. Apparently if you have both joycons plugged in it won't work but if you disconnect them it does. Weird but I'm glad it works anyway. Changed to 5 stars.

Not sure about the other features but so far it is working perfectly as a wireless adapter for me to use my modern Xbox Series controllers on my old Xbox 360. Have not experienced any connection dropouts issues while playing. Although I would say it sends the controllers to sleep a little too quickly which wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't combined with the adapter taking about 15 seconds to reconnect after you turn the controller back on. For the price though and the consistency while actually playing you can't go wrong.

I had my reservations about this product, however my Joycon drift is so severe I thought I'd give it a go.I tried making it work with my Xbox One controller to no avail, I tried different coloured 'settings' and followed a few YouTube tutorials but couldn't make it work.I then used it wired, resorting to a 5m USB connection and it... worked? I could use my Xbox One controller on my Switch and I was elated, for about 30 seconds, before the connection wavered. The controller would connect then unconnect seemingly whenever it wanted.The most usage I got from this was about 5 mins of uninterrupted bliss, however, this product isn't usable. I have decided to purchase a wired PDP Rock Candy controller and am hoping to attain better results.

Works fine through wired connection with a new Series X controller, though takes a little fiddling to get set up. Will not connect wirelessly at the moment, may have to attempt a firmware upgrade, but have no access to a laptop at the moment, so does not do what I initially bought it for, though I can only assume that this is on the fault of the controller at this time.
