Brook Wingman XB2 - Use Switch & PlayStation Controllers On Xbox

In this episode, I show you how you can use PlayStation 4 DualShock, PlayStation 5 DualDense, and Nintendo Switch controllers on the Xbox Series S with the brook gaming Wingman XB2
One of the reasons that I did not play games on the Xbox or own an Xbox for the longest time was the fact that I just did not care for the controller. Dating back to the original Xbox and the Duke, I've never felt like their controllers are very comfortable. That's one of the major reasons why I stuck to the Sony PlayStation and Nintendo consoles as I preferred their controllers. If only there was a way that I could use those controllers on my Xbox. Now I can thanks to Brook Gaming and their latest controller adapter, the Wingman XB2.
Their second generation of the Wingman XB, this version adds additional compatibility with more controllers. Microsoft released a patch in recent years that affected some controllers' compatibility, the XB2 addresses that.
Simple in its design, the Wingman XB2 looks basically like a thumb drive with a female USB-A connector on the backside. There are two blue LED lights that shine through the sides of the casing to indicate status. I think they missed the boat a little bit, blue screams PlayStation to me, and green is Xbox.
You can pair controllers to the Wingman XB2 in two different ways. The first is by simply connecting a controller via a USB cable. I was able to utilize this pairing method for my Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, but for other controllers, I had to pair wirelessly. To do that, simply hold down the LED buttons on the side of the casing until they start to flash. Once they are flashing enter your controllers into pairing mode and you're ready to go.
First up for me was using my Switch Pro controller, one of my favorites currently on the market. As I stated, I was able to pair it simply by connecting the USB cable to the dongle and the controller. From here, I could play wired or wirelessly. It was interesting to see the LED indicators on the Switch Pro Controller lit up for player one and four for this mode. I don't know what I expected, but it really wasn't this. I thought that it was interesting that the buttons stayed mapped to the Pro Controller layout. Meaning A and B were a and b, not B and A.
Next up was my Sony DualShock 4 controller for the PS4. I could not get this to pair using the USB method, I had to hold down the share button and the home button to enter pairing mode. Once I did it worked perfectly. I'm a bit disappointed that my capture card was not able to record everything accurately, and corrupted some of the data. The DualShock 4 controller worked perfectly for playing Halo, a really unique experience to say the least.
Next up was a third-party DualSense controller that's actually designed for the PS4. I use the exact same pairing method as I did with the DualShock 4 controller, share, and home to enter pairing mode as it would not pair via USB. This was once again terrific and worked exactly as I would have thought.
The final test was with my Gulikit KingKong 2 controller designed for the Nintendo Switch. Now, this actually has a Windows function on it, but I still wanted to see if it would pair with the dongle and work, and it did! Playing F1 2021, I was thrilled that the triggers worked as analog triggers and that they weren't just digital, that was a concern for me. Much like everything else that I tested, this was practically flawless
Why it RoX:
- Simple to use
- Wide compatibility
- It just works
What could be improved:
- Instructions only available via QR code
- Pairing via USB was not as seamless as I would have liked
- Almost $50
Should you buy one?
While I do find the Xbox Series S and X controllers to be the best Microsoft have ever produced, I still prefer my Switch Pro Controller or my PlayStation controllers. As such, this gives me away to utilize a control scheme I prefer and still have access to the Xbox library. This is a terrific device and it works nearly flawlessly and is something I highly recommend.

I agree I like the feel and can game longer for the ps5 controller when gaming compared to the Xbox controllers

[@AlBeQuirky]

Yep, I'm looking to get this at some point to use more modern controllers for 6th gen

[@RoXolid]

That would be interesting. The 360 Controller is so bad

[@johnnyt71982]

If you use a dualsense with a series s, does the ps button turn on the console once you've paired it?

[@shuradecapricornio1985]

great review, one question men, its works for games of xbox series x?? i mean for example, can i play streetfighter 6 with a ps4 or ps5 control in Xbox series x with this usb brook?? thanks and good video 👍👍👍

[@ian_eberhard9058]

Do the switch online controllers (NES, SNES, N64, and Genesis) work with this?

[@LumbyMcGumby]

This is a must buy for me since I still play the ogxbox I'm curious if it works with the razer wolverine v2 xbox one controller though. It probably does but has me wondering.

[@syyanon1738]

how would you plug it in tho? no usb slots on ogbox

[@Spielelobby]

Can you also use and assign the touchpad button of the Ps5 controller?

[@Switcha73]

Yh that’s what I’m trying to figure out

[@ElijahKMcCoy]

I have the original Brook Wingman XB to use my 360 and the TouchPad like the Share button on both the PS4 and PS5 controllers are just mapped as the "Back Button" on there.

[@zanxyache32]

When I connect the PS4 controller to my Xbox Series S in shooting games, my sensitivity becomes very high. Does anyone know how to fix it? (Especially in Fortnite)

[@andrewblease84]

Hello great video, just a question is it just acase of plug the adapter into xbox then the controller? also the playstation didnt have a wire connection did you use a blutetooth dongle usb ??

[@alldarth]

No puedo conectar el wingman xb2 al gulikit kingkong pro 2 de una manera inalambrica! Me puedes ayudar?

[@trefoster8661]

I’ve tried everything you’re supposed to do to connect the controller but I can never get it to connect to the Xbox series X did Microsoft update it to where it it doesn’t work or what am I doing wrong? 😢

[@RED-WOLF-88]

Are you able to see how much battery life is left and if it is charging on the PS5 Controller?

[@poopikins]

I assume you're not able to tell what the battery percentage is with non Xbox controllers

[@WolfLadyZoey]

I'm working on buying the Gulikit King Kong 2 Pro for my xbox series s. What are all the buttons mapped to on the controller? (the home button especially). Is the home button pretty much like the xbox button when it pulls up your side menu?

[@alldarth]

excellent video! can you help me with the step by step of how to connect the Gulikit kingkong 2 pro to the xbox series x console please

[@user-nj5cr6re8q]

Can anyone please tell me if headsets plugged on ps4 controller with this adapter connected ?

[@tmac8902]

Hello, I was wondering if you could use wired headset while using this adapter

[@ahmedsh5138]

Do i need to setup brook wingman xb2 on pc first or directly plug it on my xbox series x?

[@OGSERB]

Just got mine today, have you tried it with a retrobit pad like the wireless Saturn ones? I have the 2.4ghz ones that have a usb dongle, but I also have a Bluetooth one somewhere around here. It would be sweet to use it in retroarch

[@oussamaboumir820]

can i connect two controller at the same time?

[@asianboss6355]

Does PS5 have less updates for game compared to Xbox series x?

[@iB4D3Rx]

can one i connect more than one controller with one xb2 converter? thank you

[@RoXolid]

No, 1 controller per adapter I beleive

[@UttRConcrete]

Can I use the Scuf Envision Pro with this?

[@RoXolid]

I would think so but I don't have one to test

[@davidsportsguy563]

Hey there What cord are you using to connect the wingman to the controller. Also I want to play on my Xbox series X on a ps4 controller will it work??

[@RoXolid]

Just a standard USB-C Cable

[@RealDoober]

Does it actually feel like a ps5 controller

[@affenchemiker]

and what about the touchpad button of the PS5 controller? can you use the search?

[@Switcha73]

Did you find an answer I’m also wondering the same thing

[@AstroThree]

Since you have to plug in the Dualshock 4 wired into the wingman then unplug it and then it works wireless, do you have to do this everytime you want to use the ds4 with the adapter? Or just once and then it stays wireless

[@poopikins]

Hypothetically it should stay connected until you connect it to another console or adapter

[@JaimeMacDonald]

You briefly touched on mapping, is there a way to map controls outside of the game with a button combination?

[@RoXolid]

It is covered in the manual. I didn't see a need to remap so I left it as is

[@southerntwist8313]

I want to buy one using my ps5 controller to xbox series x and play NBA 2k23.Will this work well with sports gaming with no lag or latency? Also does ps5 controller still vibrate or rumble when using on xbox?

[@RoXolid]

Rumble and everything works just as it should

[@jessejones1783]

i don't know if i want to get this or the original Wingman XB converter because i want to get this for Xbox 360 and Original Xbox

[@RoXolid]

It'll work with both

[@rthythmical_flow]

Hey roxolid how would I pair the King Kong controller to Xbox with a wingman

[@RoXolid]

I would think the same way I showed the King Kong 2, but I don't have one to test.

[@baptsu0563]

Good evening I would like to use an Xbox series x controller on a ps4 pro does the headphones work with it. Thanks you 🤟

[@ElijahKMcCoy]

You need the Brook Wingman XE2 if you want to use Xbox controllers on PS4.

[@BearArmyCadet27951]

I'm having an issue syncing a PS3 controller wirelessly to the brook wingman XB2. It works when plugged in with a wire, any ideas?

[@BearArmyCadet27951]

I tried updating the firmware, I also tried both ways of synching and it doesn't want to cooperate.

[@RoXolid]

Mine just worked, don't know what to say. Have you reached out to Brook?

[@BearArmyCadet27951]

​@@RoXolid not yet, I wish that there was more in depth FAQs regarding PS3 controllers on their website.

[@FlawlessxVictory]

I got the wingman xb to play p5 controller to my series x will it work with no latency? Or should I buy the xb 2

[@RoXolid]

If you have the XB1 and it's working there's not a huge need to update. The latency will be about the same, practically none

[@Drewbator]

Do you have access to an xbox 360 rock band drum kit to test with rock band 4?

[@RoXolid]

Sorry I don't, I never had a 360 until earlier just this year

[@squigglez_420]

I wonder if it would work with retro bit sega controllers

[@RoXolid]

Not the 2.4GHz ones, possible the older Bluetooth ones.

[@dreamcazman]

The biggest benefit of these adapters is to allow you to use PS fight sticks on the Xbox (or vice versa with the other Brook adapters) without having to do internal joystick modifications.

[@RoXolid]

Good point

[@bobbrown-so2gt]

Is there any input latency with this converter?

[@Bacon00024]

Does this work with GameCube controllers?

[@ElijahKMcCoy]

No, but it might work with those Nintendo Switch Gamecube controllers like the PowerA and PDP ones since those are really just Pro Controllers in a Gamecube shell, but the button mapping might be a problem. As B will be the A button, A will be B, X&Y are also swapped, etc.

[@SheARatchetBro]

Hi can I change R2/L2 to R1/L2 for older cod 360 games on Xbox series x? I use ds4/ds5 on xsx

[@RoXolid]

You can remap buttons

[@SheARatchetBro]

I can tell you weren't a fan of the xbox, since you called the 360 controller the original Xbox controller nice play on the duke though. I think I'll have to get this.

[@TravirusTheKing]

Also PS4 and PS5 have more updates for their games than the switch.

[@RoXolid]

They do, but they also seem to handle updates during rest mode better than Xbox

[@levrodriguez8020]

Does it work with wired headsets?

"One of the things I hate about the xbox. It always has updates!" Umm yeah. So does the Playstation. And switch. And your phone. Tablet. Laptop's. Softwares. Steam. Even smart tvs update annually.

[@RoXolid]

Right but unlike those other systems that you pointed out the Xbox only seems to update when you want to play whereas I can have those other systems update in the background and be ready to go
