"Dongles have a well-earned reputation for being a nuisance. They're often costly and annoying to deal with, but for gamers, there's one that I love to recommend that's neither. 8BitDo's $20 USB Adapter 2 lets you wirelessly link controllers to the Switch 2 that would otherwise be unsupported, like the Sony DualSense (complete with rumble and motion controls), Microsoft's latest Xbox gamepads, and more. You can plug it into the Switch 2's dock or use a USB-A-to-USB-C adapter to connect it directly to the console."
"There's another similar dongle available that's a smidge cheaper and a lot smaller. The GuliKit Hyperlink Gen 2 USB-A adapter comes included with the company's TT Pro and TT Max controllers, or you can buy it alone for $16.99 at Amazon. It's compatible with Xbox controllers and PlayStation 4 and 5 controllers. Similarly, you can plug it into a Nintendo Switch 2, a PC, a Steam Deck or other handheld PCs, and Android devices."
Dongles are often viewed as costly and annoying, but 8BitDo's $20 USB Adapter 2 enables wireless connection of many otherwise unsupported controllers to Switch 2, including the Sony DualSense with rumble and motion and Microsoft's latest Xbox gamepads. The adapter works via the Switch 2 dock or directly with a USB-A-to-USB-C adapter. GuliKit's Hyperlink Gen 2 is a smaller, cheaper $16.99 alternative bundled with TT Pro and TT Max or sold separately. It supports Xbox and PlayStation 4/5 controllers across Switch 2, PC, Steam Deck, handheld PCs, and Android, but offers narrower controller compatibility than 8BitDo.
