MAKE SURE TO UPDATE FIRMWARE (Adds Analog trigger functionality)

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 December 2018

Verified Purchase

I bought the G Bros adapter because I was excited with the prospect of using my gamecube controller without having a wire across the room. Then comes the disappointment when I find out this can hardly be used for Smash Bros, the L/R analog triggers do not work unless pressed fully down (in contrast with the regular wired gamecube adapter from Nintendo where only a light press is needed). This may not be an issue for some but it particularly stands out in Smash Bros and since that's the main reason I've bought it I have to give it 1 star.

EDIT: Thanks to the comments I found out there was a firmware update that adds analog trigger functionality. Works great for smash now.

Now arriving at Bug City - prepare to take deep breathes

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 December 2018

Verified Purchase

I've owned the G Bros adapter for a couple of days now. It appears that most people are reviewing this for Smash Bros on the Switch, but as I wanted the adapter for using Gamecube controllers on PC I thought I'd provide an alternative viewpoint.

First the good:
- The G Bros works absolutely flawlessly and with absolutely no input lag.
- The latest firmware update (available from the official website) resolves the ability to use the triggers in analogue mode, which as a previous reviewer points out is an essential feature for a Gamecube controller.

Now the challenges:
- This device doesn't seem to play well with other pads, or indeed itself. I bought two of these devices, intending to use them together. The first connected like a dream, but the second wasn't registering at all. My assumption was that the second was faulty, but after trying it on a fresh PC it worked fine. In addition, I had a cheap USB pad connected to a third PC. Connecting my G Bros to that PC didn't work at all. There's some underlying issue here with how the pad talks to the PC and registers itself, but I will need to do some more digging to understand exactly what.
- X-Input. In order to use the device with a PC it uses X-Input. This is an API (Application Interface) developed by Microsoft for the Xbox 360 controller. This means that the device basically tells the PC it's an Xbox controller. This works great with something that uses X-Input natively (such as Steam), but with other third party gaming software it struggles to interface properly. A solution to this is to map the controller buttons to keyboard keys (something that X-Input supports), but see below why that isn't currently possible.
- Software. It's pretty clear at this moment that 8bitdo's software offering isn't ready for the G Bros. There are two key pieces of software here. 1. The Firmware Updater. This is used to easily update the firmware on the G Bros (see above, this is essential from the second you receive the device). Unfortunately it doesn't yet support the G Bros, requiring you to update the firmware using another hashed together interface. My Avast antivirus picked this up as a potential virus (it isn't) and blocked it, meaning I had to turn off my whole antivirus for 10 mins just to install it. Basically a massive faff and will be intimidating if you haven't updated firmware before. 2. X-Input Key Mapper. This allows you to map the Gamecube controller to keys on the keyboard, allowing you to use non-X-Input native gaming applications. Unfortunately after downloading the software and running it I was presented with a blank screen, which suggests it doesn't yet support the G Bros.
- Bluetooth 4.0. This is less of a concern as 8bitdo are very up front in warning about this. If you don't have Bluetooth version 4.0 on your PC, then expect to require a new dongle. I ran this on a PC with less than Bluetooth 4.0 and it was far too laggy to use.

All in all, this is still a great adapter. It allows the wireless connection of Gamecube controllers, which is great especially if you don't want to buy a 10 year old Wavebird or one of the modern cheap knock-offs. If you're planning to use it for Smash Bros on the Switch then great, but if you want to use it for PC be aware that 8bitdo need to do some serious work updating their software offering, along with a couple of firmware updates, before this is going to do anything less than make you want to throw it against the wall.

Good, not perfect.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 December 2018

Verified Purchase

Very good, but not perfect. This device, as with all 8bitdo products, is beautifully designed. The colour is pretty much a spot-on match for an aged indigo controller. It's small and still reasonably light with the x2 required AA batteries inside.

It's a nice touch that they include a cable tidy, as you'll find you have way too much cable once you are using your GameCube controller wirelessly.

Set-up on both a Switch and a PC (for use with Dolphin) was quick and flawless.

Worth noting though: it's impossible to insert a WaveBird receiver into the unit, it simply doesn't fit. Wired GC controllers only. It doesn't seem to report any analog on L & R, only the digital click at the end. It doesn't support rumble either and Dolphin could not find it trigger the rumble motors on the latest version. Also, the radius on the control sticks on dolphin need to be reduced to about 78, but that's no biggie.

All in all, this is a really, really good solution for using a GC controller for emulation and Smash on switch. If you only want to be able to attach one controller wirelessly to the switch though (and aren't bothered about dolphin), I'd recommend the PowerA wireless GameCube controller for Switch over this.

Easy to use, but with a huge lag problem

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 December 2018

Verified Purchase

EDIT: Just tested for the first time with connecting two Switch consoles to each other and there is a MASSIVE amount of input lag when doing this. I'll probably be returning this unless there is a setting or workaround to stop this from happening.
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
After using this for a few sessions of Smash Ultimate, I'd rate this product quite highly. If there's any added input lag from using it, it's not noticeable when compared to using a wired adapter. It's also easy to use - setup takes a minute at most.
Something quite important to note, however, is that the converter won't register an L or R press until they're pressed all the way down - there's no input from the analogue part of the trigger press.
If you don't mind this, then there really aren't any major flaws with the product apart from not coming with batteries, so it's the best option for using a GameCube controller when undocked without resorting to a USB-C hub to lug around with you.
EDIT: Update the firmware on the 8BitDo website, and the analogue triggers will be supported. That's all I need to push this to a five-star product. Great stuff!

Great! Works with PS1/2 controllers too....

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 December 2019

Verified Purchase

This has been a god send, loved the GC controller. The Wavebird is great, but, doesn't have rumble and just seems a bit bigger compared to the OG controller.
I use this with Dolphin, connects straight away, no problems. Make sure to update the dongle to the latest firmware.

With the Wii connection on the other side of this dongle it means you can use Wii controllers. But, what I do is, get a PS2 to Wii connection and connect my PS1/2 controller via this and play my PS1/2 games on PC with original controllers. Its a work around, but it works for me. And I love my White PS1 controller.
Hope they make one of these for the PlayStation controller in the future....

Recommended.
