Everything would work great except that after the system powers itself off after ...
UPDATE 22MAR2018: Defective adapter was replaced. The adapter works perfect with my DS4 now, again you can't turn the system on with it but I believe that's likely a Switch issue now the adapter's.Everything would work great except that after the system powers itself off after being put to sleep, when I power the system back on I have to remove the Magic-NS adapter, hold down the switch modes button on the adapter, and then reinsert it before it will begin working again. Removing and reinserting it does not seem to work.I have followed the connection steps both in the quick guide and the extra bits about turning on pro wired communication from their site. I have v1.19 firmware on my device, the latest as of this review. I'm using a Dualshock 4 controller and have no other controllers to further troubleshoot with. This issue happens with all 3 USB ports: 2x side ports 1x back port (the one I'd prefer to use as a giant white dongle sticking out of the side of my switch doesn't look great) I'm unsure at this point if this is a specific issue with my adapter or all of them. I'm inclined to think it is only mine as I can't imagine anyone here NOT mentioning the annoyance of having to hunch down, pull the adapter out of the console, hold that awfully tiny button down, and then reinsert it every single time.I've read the reviews stating that you cannot power the system on from your controller and I imagine that's more of a hardware restriction from the switch(limiting power to USB ports when the system is off). This is NOT that, I would be OK with that being the only issue. I'll happily change my rating to 5 stars if a solution to this is posted, there is no input lag, everything works great. Every button is mapped, motion controls are slightly different vs using a joycon but still great. This one issue is honestly the most frustrating thing though.

    Finally got around to replacing my Wii U with a Switch and this adapter means I can still use my Wii U Pro controllers. I will be purchasing a 2nd unit so I can use both of my controllers.
  • Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2018
    I'll preface this review by saying I've really only tested the adapter's functionality with a Wii U Pro controller on a Switch console, and I don't have any experience trying it out with other systems' controllers or using it for gaming on a PC. Now to the rest of my review.

    Since Nintendo still isn't officially supporting Wii U Pro controllers on the Switch console at the time of writing this, for anyone who finds the various Switch controllers to be less than ideal or not to their preference, enter this handy (and fairly affordable) 3rd party solution.

    Now bear in mind that if Nintendo REALLY wanted to, they could ban all users of this device and/or brick your Switch console for using "unauthorized third party devices", so understand that before you purchase this there is always such a possibility, however unlikely it may seem.

    However with that said, I've been using this adapter on a regular basis for over 9 months now, and have had zero issues with it after getting it set up properly, and that includes even after a number of Switch system updates have been performed while it was in active use.

    When I first got this adapter, I recall that the Wii U Pro controller wasn't working right out of the box, and having to go to the manufacturer's website and download a firmware update for the adapter with it connected to a Windows PC. The download and subsequent installation process for the adapter's firmware was simple, and after that I haven't had any issues with my Wii U Pro controller working with the Switch since then.

    I will note that for my experience at least, the power button on the Wii U Pro controller doesn't turn the Switch console on or off, and I have to use the one on the Switch itself, but that's not much of an issue to me personally. Your experience may vary, but it's something to keep in mind.

    It's also worth noting that because this requires a USB port, you'll be unable to use the adapter while playing the Switch in handheld or tabletop modes, only while it is seated in the dock and you are playing on your TV.

    You are able to charge a Wii U Pro controller either in the pass-through USB slot at the end of the adapter, or in the Switch's second front USB port just fine while playing. It doesn't trip it up charging from one USB port and using the adapter from the other port. I prefer this way myself because the adapter is a bit long and trying to use the pass through USB port on it feels to me like you have to be careful so you don't accidentally unplug the adapter or damage it in any way. It's doable, but it just seems a bit delicate and I'm much more comfortable using the second USB port to charge instead, that way I don't have to worry about jostling the adapter around.

    One potentially helpful thing that I discovered by accident was that if you are using a Wii U Pro controller, you can simulate the functions of the "capture/screenshot" button found on Switch controllers by pressing the + and - buttons on the Wii U Pro controller at the same time. Instead of whatever the normal functions of + and - are in that game, it will take a screenshot when you press them both.

    There is also a way to take advantage of the video capture feature using this as well, as I did that once by accident when I was trying to take a screenshot, but I wasn't quite sure how I did it. I think it may have been some kind of short delay press of the second button or perhaps holding the two buttons down. I don't use the video capture feature of the Switch personally, so I wasn't too worried about figuring it out for myself, but it does seem possible, and perhaps someone else has figured it out and can clarify the details for those who are interested.

    If you're like me and none of the Switch controllers are quite comfortable enough for you (I tried three different ones, Joycons, Switch Pro, and the wired Hori officially licensed gamepad, none of them comfortable enough for me during longer play sessions), or you don't want to break the bank spending $60+ on a Switch Pro controller, or maybe you just really prefer controllers from a different console, this adapter will allow you to enjoy the Switch console on your own terms and not break the bank. And I can personally vouch for 9 months and counting of success using this device with my Wii U Pro controller on my Switch, even in online multiplayer games like Splatoon 2 with no issues, so here's hoping it will work for many more months/years to come (or that Nintendo just starts officially supporting Wii U Pro controllers on the Switch someday. That would be alright with me too.)

    In a climate where Controllers will easily run you upwards of $50 and aftermarket pro controllers are rarely listed sub $150, this was a welcomed and refreshing fix to my issue.

    I currently own the beautiful relic that is a Google Stadia controller and refused to throw it away after Stadia services were sunset - however, I struggled to repurpose my controller so that I could still enjoy its functionality, that was until I discovered this device. I will preface in saying that other reviews are correct, if used for the PS3 it will not allow for a home button function but I work around that with a second controller on standby. Setup is simple after updating, zero latency, consistent connection, and an adapter for USB-C is included for PC adaptions. For the value and price, I must recommend.

    Finally, I can use my Elite Controller with the Switch! Connecting to the dongle takes a little longer than I would like, but once it connects, it works like a charm. There is an option to swap the layout of the face buttons so that they match the actual layout of the controller. However, this has to be done every time you reconnect it to the adaptor, though you can get past this minor annoyance by setting up a profile in the Accessories app if you're using an Elite Controller like I am.

    I do have a note and a warning:

    1. Any controller connected to the dongle can't be used to wake the Switch. On top of that, the dongle powers off anytime the Switch goes into sleep mode, and can take up to 20 seconds to reconnect when the Switch wakes up. If you're going wired, then this isn't an issue (more on that later). But if you're wireless, then be a little patient once your system wakes up. Another thing to note is that if you are using the Series 2 Elite Controller (or any controller with an internal battery) and you are wiring your controller to the dongle, be sure to sure to unplug your controller any time the system goes to sleep. If not, then the controller will continue to draw power from the adaptor and it will stop working for awhile. I had this happen to me the first time I tried to use my controller wired and thought that I fried the adaptor! Thankfully, it started to work again a few minutes after leaving it plugged in with the system on. This should be considered a limitation of the Switch hardware and not the dongle itself, as this issue does not occur with the dongle connected to a PC that allows USB power in standby.

    Overall, I STRONGLY recommend this dongle if you wanted to use you fancy controller with the Switch.

    EDIT: Turns out that USB controllers CAN be used to wake the Switch while in docked mode. If you're using a wired network adaptor then the USB ports will turn back on when the Switch is put into sleep mode, allowing you to wake the system by pressing the HOME button on the controller. I tested this with both an Xbox one S, Elite Series 2 and a PS4 controller. There is still a delay when waking the Switch with a wireless controller, but wired USB controllers will allow you to wake the system almost instantly. Definitely upped my review a star because of this, because now I can use my Elite Series 2 controller with my Xbox ONE, PC and my Nintendo Switch. I can't recommend this product enough!

    Ça marche très bien pour connecter une DualShock 4. Il faut d’abord brancher l’usb directement sur la switch et ensuite sur le dock
