In this episode, we unbox and test out the Brook Gaming Wingman XE2 USB Adapter designed to allow you to use practically ANY Bluetooth Controller On the Nintendo Switch, Or PS3 & PS4!

Brook Gaming's Wingman series of adapters are really cool. They allow you to do something you shouldn't be able to, and that's to use different platforms' Bluetooth-enabled controllers on systems they were never designed for. There are over 125 different controllers that are compatible with the XE2, so the likelihood that your favorite is supported is pretty high. It also features button remapping, turbo/rapid fire, and more.

Out of the box, the XE2 is pretty basic. You get the dongle itself, some Brook Gaming Decals, and for the first time, a quick start guide! This has been one of my biggest criticisms of previous Wingman adapters as you always had to download a PDF to get things going. This covers the basics and gets you up and running quickly.

In the past I've had some challenges pairing controllers to Wingman adapters, but I have to say the XE2 was the finest experience from Brook Gaming to-date! I held in the pairing buttons on the side of the dongle, entered paring mode on the controllers, and boom, paired! Now, the systems need to be on for the Wingman XE2 to work, so unfortunately you cannot wake a system from sleep.

I started out with the Nintendo Switch and an Xbox Series X controller. I have to say, everything, and I mean EVERYTHING worked perfectly here. The rumble vibration was excellent, the button presses were spot on, and the Xbox button even worked to get us back to the home menu or toggle the power options. This was everything I could have asked for!

Next up, I paired the XE2 to my Dualsense Playstation 5 controller. Once again, everything on the Switch worked perfectly. One thing this does demonstrate is how poor the D-Pad on the Xbox controller is compared to the Switch Pro Controller or the DualSense controller. Playing the same games across all the controllers, the Xbox D-Pad was truly awful for precise platforming.

My final test was to connect the dongle to my PlayStation 3. I know the PS3 controllers are getting long in the tooth, batteries don't last, and people just want better options. The DualSense controller performed without a hitch through the Wingman XE2, again the PS button took me back to the home screen, the buttons worked well, as did the analog sticks.

Why it RoX:
- Compatible with Switch, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4
- Responsive
- Compatible with a ton of controllers
- Just works
- Best pairing experience from a Wingman to-date

What could be improved:
- Will not wake systems
- Only works with 1 controller at a time

Should You Buy One?
This is simply the finest Wingman Brook Gaming has created thus far. It pairs to controllers beautifully well, it is responsive, and it just works. Brook Gaming even added a quick start guide to get you up and running and not force you to download a PDF. YES! If you are looking to be able to use other controllers on your Switch, PS3 and PS4, such as a DualSense controller or Xbox Series S Controller, this is the way!
