SWITCH 2 Help

[Roheed Sahak]

Hey guys I just wanted to ask if anyone could help me out with the Nintendo switch 2 situation

I just purchased one last week and I've been trying to figure out if I should be using my book converter to connect it directly with the quad stick just like I do on my PS five

If anyone has any tips or tricks before I do it that would be very helpful….. I've asked a few times in the discord but no one's responded and I'm just worried that my system might get locked if that even is a thing anymore

What Brook converter are you using?  They make over a dozen different types.  The FGC2 converter used for the PS5 will not work with the Nintendo Switch or NS2.  The NS Lite and XE 2 should work.

Most Brook converters will work with the Quadstick in PS4 emulation modes, which should give you motion and touchpad controls.  Quadstick USB emulation modes that should work are 0, 1, 3, 4, 7.  The Nintendo Switch mode 5 will not work however, so it you are using a config file meant for the NS1 with a Brook adapters, you will need to change the quadstick's emulation mode to something else.   The same settings that work for the FGC2 should work for the NS Lite or XE 2.

Brook frequently updates their firmware.  If your converter is not working with the NS2 it may be a firmware issue.  You can find the latest firmware for your converter here:  https://www.brookaccessory.com/download/Wingman_Series/  Find the recommended firmware version number and update your converter.  You'll need a Chrome or Brave browser.  Edge won't work with their update page.  They often have experimental versions of firmware.  I generally use the one listed on their webpage.

All their converters will work with the PC as an XBox controller.  You can troubleshoot the problem by connecting the converter to the PC, connect the Quadstick to its input and check for it working using joy.cpl or a test page like:  https://test.quadstick.com.  If the Quadstick controls the outputs of the converter on the PC, then we know the problem is between the converter and the NS2, or a setting in the NS2.

The converters emulate a USB Nintendo Switch Pro controller, so the Switch System Settings->Controllers and Sensors will need to have Pro Controller Wired Communication turned on.   It is off by default in new Switches.

What are the lights on the sides of the converter doing?  They should be a steady Blue.  If they are blinking, then the converter is not communicating with either the console or the quadstick.

This is the one I purchased. It  says ps5 games

Should I be looking at the one that says Nintendo switch?

They make different converters for different consoles.  The one for the PS5 does not work on other consoles.

The Brook Wingman NS Lite is this one:  https://www.amazon.ca/Brook-Wingman-NS-Lite-Converter/dp/B0CL61XDFS

Another converter that works is the Mayflash NS2: https://www.amazon.ca/MAYFLASH-Bluetooth-Raspberry-Compatible-Controller/dp/B09PT92QL1

Perfect thanks so much for the advice. I’m really excited to try this out. I just ordered the product for the Mayfair so I hope it works out!! If not, I’ll just keep trying and converters. I’m just worried that I might get locked out.

But I was able to watch YouTube video from readapted gaming and I saw it worked for him fine
