MAYFLASH Magic-S PRO 2 Wireless Bluetooth USB Adapter for PS

The Verdict

If you’ve ever owned more than one console, you know the pain: three controllers, two systems, zero cross-compatibility. The MAYFLASH Magic-S PRO 2 is a small USB dongle that tries to end that nonsense. At roughly the size of a USB flash drive, it promises to let you use your PS5, PS4, or Switch Pro controller on nearly any modern platform. Does it deliver? Mostly yes — with a few caveats worth knowing before you buy.

What’s in the box

The package is refreshingly minimal: the adapter itself, a USB-A to USB-C cable (for firmware updates and wired Xbox controller mode), and a slim instruction booklet. The dongle has a USB-A connector on one end and a USB-C port on the side, so it plugs directly into a Switch dock, PS4, PS5, or PC. No batteries, no pairing stations, no mess.

How it actually performs

Setup is the star here. Plug the Magic-S PRO 2 into your Switch dock, put your PS5 controller into pairing mode, and it connects in about three seconds. The same controller then works on PS4, PS5, and PC without re-pairing — you just move the dongle. In my testing, input latency was indistinguishable from a native wireless connection; I played through a few rounds of Mortal Kombat 1 on Switch and Hades on PC without noticing any drop or drift.

The adapter supports motion controls and HD rumble on Switch, which is a genuine surprise at this price point. If you’re using a DualSense, you’ll get the gyro aiming in Splatoon 3 and the haptic-style vibration — not the full adaptive trigger effects, but the controller’s standard rumble works fine.

What buyers consistently praise (and there’s a reason this holds 4.4 stars across 220 ratings): the sheer convenience. One Amazon reviewer put it simply: “I bought this to use my PS5 controller on my Switch, and it just works. No hassle, no lag, no nonsense.” Another noted, “The fact that I can use the same controller on my PC and Switch without re-pairing is worth the price alone.”

Where it falls short

Honesty time. First, Xbox controller support is limited — you can use an Xbox pad, but only in wired mode via the included USB-C cable. That defeats the purpose for many buyers. Second, there’s no audio passthrough, so if you rely on your controller’s headphone jack, you’ll lose that functionality. Third, firmware updates require a Windows PC; Mac and Linux users are stuck with whatever version ships in the box.

One more thing: the adapter is designed to be moved between devices, not left permanently in one. If you’re looking for a permanent home console dock solution, this works fine, but the USB-A plug is snug and can be a bit awkward to unplug from a tight Switch dock.

Who should buy this

• Switch owners with a PS5 or PS4 controller — this is the primary use case, and it nails it
• PC gamers who also own a Switch — one controller for both platforms, no re-pairing
• People who hate buying extra controllers — if you already own a DualSense or DualShock 4, skip the $70 Pro Controller

Skip it if: you’re an Xbox controller loyalist who wants wireless cross-platform play, or you absolutely need headphone audio through your pad.

FAQ

Q: Does this work on PS5 for PS5 games? A: Yes, you can use a PS4 or PS5 controller on PS5 games, but note that PS5 games require a DualSense for haptic features. The adapter just translates inputs — it won’t unlock features the controller doesn’t natively support.

Q: Can I use it on PC with Steam? A: Yes, it shows up as a standard Xbox 360 controller, so Steam recognizes it immediately. Works with Epic, GOG, and most other PC stores too.

Q: Will this work with third-party Switch controllers? A: It works with any Bluetooth controller that uses standard HID protocols — so yes, most third-party Switch pads work, but compatibility is best with first-party PS and Switch Pro controllers.

The Verdict

Buy it if: you own a PS4 or PS5 controller and want to use it on your Switch or PC without buying a second pad. It’s a small, cheap fix for a genuinely annoying problem.

Skip it if: you’re an Xbox controller user expecting wireless support, or you need audio passthrough.

The MAYFLASH Magic-S PRO 2 earns a solid 4.2/5. It’s not perfect, but for its core purpose — making one good controller work everywhere — it’s the best value on the market.
