RetroEmulationNation Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this, but I don't know where to go. My OGX360 is currently using an 8bitdo Wireless USB Adapter (see https://www.8bitdo.com/usb-adapter-ps1-classic) to connect with an Xbox One controller. I tried to sync an Xbox Series X controller with it, but it failed to pair. Since this could be a limitation of the 8bitdo adapter, would my Xbox Series X controller successfully pair if I switch to the official Microsoft Xbox Wireless Adapter? Thank you.

SS_Dave Posted March 20, 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 Check the firmware on the 8bitdo there may be a update. Cheers SS Dave Soft modding is like masturbating, It gets the job done but it's nothing like the real thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroEmulationNation Posted March 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 It's already on the latest firmware I have contacted their support earlier today, hopefully I get a response from them Was hoping if other members of the forum have experience with the Microsoft Xbox Wireless Adapter Not sure what's the difference between the One and Series controllers, thought they were essentially the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroEmulationNation Posted March 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 8bitdo support confirmed their current USB Wireless Adapters are not compatible with Xbox Series S|X controllers because of the switch to Bluetooth Low Energy, instead of normal traditional Bluetooth. So this is a hardware limitation So the next question is, is the Microsoft Wireless Adapter (https://www.xbox.com/en-US/accessories/controllers/xbox-wireless-controller-adapter-win10) compatible with the OGX360?

GoTeamScotch Posted April 27, 2021 Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 The wireless adapter you linked to is not compatible with Ogx360. The Xbox 360 wireless receiver is, but not the newer Xbox One adapter (generically named "Wireless Adapter"). Hopefully support will get added someday because buying multiple 8bitdo adapters and a USB hub is kind of expensive if you want to run multiple Xbox controllers. I'm surprised to hear that Series X|S controllers aren't compatible with 8bitdo adapters. That's unfortunate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroEmulationNation Posted April 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 8bitdo informed me that it's because of the shift to Bluetooth Low Energy for the Series X|S controllers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
