Some controllers will require additional cables to function. For example, the original Xbox’s Duke and Controller S variations are compatible, provided a controller to USB adapter is on hand. An Xbox 360 wireless receiver for PC is also required to sync an official wireless Xbox 360 controller to the adapter. With the required cabling, these controllers hook up without issue. While most controllers thrown at the Wingman XB 2 functioned without issue, others refused to work. This includes a couple of MOGA controllers, an old Razer Orta, and the Google Stadia controller.

Rapid Fire & Combos Being a bit of an ‘older' gamer, I do have older consoles in my possession, and it was surprising to be able to use a Series X controller on an Xbox 360, or a PS5 DualSense controller on my 360.

The XB 2 is capable of enabling rapid fire/turbo on any of the controller buttons or triggers. This was quite the process though. Start by pressing ‘VIEW' and ‘GUIDE' buttons (or your controller's equivalent) to start this process. This process was the most frustrating to accomplish and took multiple attempts to be successful, regardless of what controller I was using. The adapter will function through any of the Xbox’s available USB ports. From there, controllers can either be synced up via the XB 2’s USB passthrough or internal Bluetooth.

Endless PossibilitiesUltimately though, I can't in good conscious recommend the adapter solely because I wouldn't want to see anyone get reported or banned for using the tech on Xbox, not that it would, but better safe than sorry. Using my numerous controllers on PC however does seem to appeal to me more. I was able to try out some of the rapid-fire features in some single player games, but I didn't test in in Multiplayer matches because, as mentioned, this device is not something technically allowed by Xbox, and I wasn't going to consider even tempting fate there. Button mapping and turbo fire, although frustrating to set up, worked well once I was able to get them finally working.
