Use Any Controller on Any Console! Brook Adapters Review

In this video we will play a Sony exclusive on PS5 with an Xbox Elite 2 controller wirelessly with no lag. We will play a Microsoft exclusive with a PS5 Dualsense controller. We will play a Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) wirelessly with a PS5, Switch, and Xbox Elite controllers. These adapters allow you to use over 125 controllers including 3rd party options such as Razer, Nacon, Astro, Madcatz, and a ton more, on any console. This is a game changer for those who prefer the exclusives on a console, but the ergonomics and layout of a different controller, or for retro gamers who want more comfort, and wireless control.

Important note I learned after posting this video: on PS5 you can only play PS4 games with other controllers other than the dual sense, not PS5 games. This is not exclusive to these adapters, you can’t use Sony PS4 controllers to play PS5 games either as I have pointed out in previous videos such as this guide below:

[Hisagi]

Thats crazy that I just got one 2 days ago and my Xbox elite controller for competitive apex legends and you dropped this video im a new subscriber you are really the GOAT🐐

[FTheGlobalists]

Right off the bat. Youre a great speaker.

Not over the top with gestures and fake vocal tone but still entertaining. Feels genuine

Aesthetically pleasing background & I learned some shit, so, informative aswell.

10/10 great video and even better overall vibe from you.

[dr.ogremitsu-]

I got one of these too. Great product. Only thing that would make it better would be if you could connect 2 controllers at the same time.

[ThunderTHR]

I've had a PS2 adapter for some time and loved using it, but I really have to thank you for the information regarding the Xbox controller firmware update that breaks the controllers working with the Brook adapters. Was able to revert it and got it back up and running!

[theconsolekiller]

Great review. These adapters are awesome. I find myself using specific controllers for specific games often. I got the Xbox adapter and it works awesome. I use a Magic S adapter for Switch which seems to cover alot of controllers. That one was only half the price of the Brooke one, which may support more controllers. I mainly wanted support for my Hori Rap4 stick on the switch. I will probably pick up the PS5 adapter too.

[bobolones]

I have the XB one. Its pretty great! With the amount of controllers with stick drift issues, getting these things is a must

[naliboi]

The extra features crammed into these adapters are really something.

Button remapping on these things are great.

On my Sega Saturn, I was impressed by the Brook Wingman SD. I've used an 8bitDO DIY controller and Retrobit saturn wireless controller (before I got the retrobit adapter). I was able to map buttons eventually with custom mapping. The Wingman SD is also cool as it can mimic the Saturn 3D pad functionality when using a modern controller with a few button presses. Ie, you can get true analogue input by using a modern controller. You won't need to shell out for a saturn 3d pad (even though I still did for the collector value and its 1996 stick-drift-free Hall effect goodness).

Another cool thing about the Brook Wingman SD is the mouse and keyboard support from the USB port. I was playing Typing of the Dead on my Dreamcast over CRT, whilst using my custom USB keyboard I'd built a few months earlier. It was great but I still suck at touch typing 😂.

[BAYDADDY]

Just remember you can NOT! play PS5 games with a any other controller then a PS5 controller on the PS5. The XE only gives support to PS4 games played on PS5 👍🏻 Important fact that you left out of your video 👎🏻

[metjetfan]

I really want a ps5 controller with the stick layout of the Xbox, but these will do for now.

[Simulate]

Thank you for this vid! Had no idea these existed and Immediately bought one! Will report back after.

[grandmasteraj]

I noticed the usb cap in the front port of the Xbox. I have the same sort of thing for my Xbox as well. I always use protection for my open holes.

[dambo]

We need an updated video with the newest variations of these adapters...

[theamericanbadger]

I got the super converter to use modern controllers on my PS2 and oh boy it’s so much more comfortable to use a wireless PlayStation controller on the PS2. I’ve been playing the ace combat and SOCOM series using a PS5 controller. It feels really nice, the only issue you will find is the pressure sensitive buttons do not work on modern controllers. You can still use it well, just be aware if you play MGS or something that used that feature on the OG PS2 controller, you can’t use that since they got rid of that feature on the PS4 controller.

I'd love to try out the Wingman Xbox adapter since I'll be turning my Xbox One S into a bit of an emulation station. and for that emulation experience I'd like to try and use 8bitdo controllers since I'll be covering NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, N64, and Sega Saturn. I may also cover the PS1 and PS2.

as for a favorite game to play using another controller, well I'd like to try and use an Original Xbox Controller S on the Xbox One to play 360 games like Halo 3, every single gears game up to Gears of War Judgement, Halo Reach, Halo 3 ODST, Halo 4, Wolfenstein Shadow of the Colossus, Resident Evil Biohazard and, GTA V.

[ColtonUzumaki]

This video helped me out a lot!!! Thank you😁👍

[GenkiStarLeaf]

So I would presume I could use the Wingman XE to pair up a DualShock 4 to play PS5 games?

[nugjugmusic]

Just subscribed! Loved the video :) I would love to know if there is an adapter for my Xbox 360 controller to connect to my Xbox one. I have been searching all over the internet for this. Please respond when you can :) Thank you so much.

[castleranch]

My goodness! Incredible review! Subscribed. So glad I found this. Two questions though: how are you connecting your Nintendo to the TV and will these adapters work with racing wheel controllers? Thanks so much!

[andrewg]

Bliss-Box has something like this for retro controllers called the Bridge.
