    Did you know? You can actually use two controllers to control a single player. Why would you want this? Because playing katamari reroll with two people fighting for control is the most fun you can have on the switch. Seriously I recommend you try this it’s hilarious good fun.

    Best review of the device in UA-cam. Very detailed, I was searching and searching about the rumble in other controllers (because usually they only put the example of the PS4 controller) so thank you

  • @strudelNL
    @strudelNL 4 роки тому +2

    Can you connect 2 controllers (for example 2 dualshocks) with one stick to the switch and play with 2 players (different players for co-op or versus) or will you need 2 USB adapters for 2 different players?

    You want to talk about redundant uses of wireless adapters? I plugged my NES Classic Retro Receiver into my Wiimote and synced the Wiimote to the receiver. What? You never connected a Wiimote to itself before?
    (Sorry for being random. I just didn't know when else I would get to mention this...)

    Looking at getting one of these for Smash Brothers Ultimate, so I can use either the Xbox One or Wii U Pro controller for second player, that way we don't have to have another Pro controller.

    This is a great item and definitely worth the purchase. As someone who doesn't even own a switch, using this to play smash with some friends with my own Xbox one controller is great. Since it has multiple uses, it beats paying $70 for a controller I can only use on one system. The only issue I have is some latency issues with certain positions, such as under the table. Overall, spending $20 to basically upgrade your controller to a multi-platform device is great.

    I kinda want to buy this, but I need to know 2 things.
    Will this work with a 3rd party PS3 or a 3rd party wireless XBOX360 controller? (Gamesir G3S)
    If you grab a phone charger, plug it into there, and attempt to sync, does it work?

  • @mike406
    @mike406 6 років тому +8

    For future reference - 'DINPUT' is pronounced D-Input which is short for DirectInput. And XINPUT is pronounced X-Input and refers to the XInput API used to communicate with Xbox controllers.

  • @BigBokChoy
    @BigBokChoy 6 років тому +6

    I wish someone would make an actually frame data video testing the input lag of the stick compared to 1st party input lag. For example joycon/pro-controller have the usual 3-4 frames of input lag(depending on software) like most other controllers. I generally don't trust "non-noticeable" and like hard numbers.

    • @Itzsfo0
      @Itzsfo0 6 років тому +1

  • @immortalsun
    @immortalsun 6 років тому +2

    Great review! I might buy this.
    I have multiple PS3 and PS4 controllers plus a Wii U Pro Controller. I don’t want to shell out $70 for a Switch Pro Controller, even if it is the best controller for the Switch on the market.
    I think the adapter should cost less than $25 since it’s just an adapter, not a controller, but at least it’s a lot cheaper than a Switch Pro Controller or a new pair of Joy-Cons.

  • @immortalsun

      I have one as well. I recommend buying a Titan 1 adapter as well. Titan 1 is way older but better. I have a arcade system. Titan 1 has a feature magic ns don't. Put PC inputs on real game consoles. Meaning anything you got plugged in the PC will be read on real game console. My arcade cabinet has a IPAC board in it. It can switch between dinput and xinput. I switch it to dinput so the Gtuner software can detect the IPAC board with "Max Aim DI" software that's built inside Gtuner software. All I have to do is pick the "output" of the game console I wanna play on. If it's Nintendo switch, I place the output to Nintendo switch. The IPAC board will transform into a Nintendo switch board. This is cool but only 1 player will work using "Max Aim DI" software.

      The controller you pair with this dongle has to have Bluetooth. I believe all XboxOne controllers use Bluetooth. If you meant to say the XB360 controller, then no it won't pair. A way around this is that you can buy a usb wireless receiver (made by Microsoft, sells for about $20) intended to use wireless XB360 controllers on a PC . Use that same dongle and plug it into the USB port on the Magic-NS and run it "as if" it was a wired controller. The Magic-NS would see it as a wired controller, so no pairing is needed, but in fact you're running wireless.

    Could you pair multiple controllers using one adapter?
