Simply connect your wired Xbox Series X|S / wired Xbox360 / wired Xbox One / wired PS5 / PS4 / PS3 / Switch Pro / SEGA Astro City mini (wired use) / MEGA Drive mini (wired use) to this adpater, and get ready to enjoy your favorite games with your favorite gemapads or sticks. Most of the stress I’ve been feeling over where to play Street Fighter 6 has centered around my Mad Catz Tournament Edition 2+, which remains a fantastic arcade stick and is the centerpiece of my non-pad options for playing fighting games. This little item is solving this problem, as its lets you using older not compatible Xbox controllers with a newer Xbox. with SEGA Astro City mini / SEGA Mega Drive Mini / SEGA Genesis Mini / Mega Drive, PC Engine and PC! Finally decided to bite the bullet with Street Fighter 6 out and couldn't find a version for my PS5 so decided to go with the Xbox series S/X version.

I've since learned that these adapters are highly popular amongst the fighting game community, which are perhaps one of the most vocal communities when it comes to input latency. Also, if your controller ever feels like the adapter is broken then it’s just your controller battery being low. I can’t say for certain that that particular situation had caused the issues, but with everything the Wingman XB has to do to get controllers from other consoles up and running, I’m sure there will be situations where things get a bit mixed up. Thanks to its fully upgradeable firmware and the development of new versions every few months, this adapter will be updated with new and amazing features. In an incredibly unfortunate but also hilarious example of bad timing, I received the Wingman XB review unit that I had requested right around the middle of October, and just over two weeks later, Brook announced the Wingman XB 2.

Once I did that, and adjusted Drum Master’s lag compensation for playing on a drum, everything was good. I then realized that I would finally have the chance to experience something that I’ve never been able to before: playing a Katamari Damacy game on an Xbox console the right way.

The adapter itself is comparable to a pack of chewing gum and will jut out obtrusively of whatever you plug it into. Thankfully the folks at Brook Gaming updated their Wingman XB adapter to support PS4 and Switch Taiko drums? Plus, I’m sure there are a lot of people who have never tried one of these converters for themselves in any form—and given that Brook also sells PlayStation- and Switch-focused adapters, my experience here will relate to that side of the conversation as well. Over the years however it has continuously been updated, to the point it now supports Xbox Series S/X, and since last year, amazingly. Having to go back to those older input devices has been one of the downsides to my time finally discovering all that the Xbox 360 had to offer, so being able to connect the newer controllers I’m already using on a daily basis has been fantastic.The Brook UNIVERSAL FIGHTING BOARD PCB supports XB Series , PS4, PS3, Wii U PC, Switch, NEOGEO mini, PS Classic and MD mini. If Xbox One Elite Series 2 controller is used, please turn off controller profile settings to prevent interference with Wingman XB’s Turbo or Remap settings. Brook claims the device supports over 125 peripherals, and with regular firmware updates, that number will only get bigger. I broke down the tests I wanted to run with the Brook Wingman XB into four categories: Wired, Wireless, Taiko no Tatsujin drums, and legacy support. I also played and completed the platformer, Flynn: Son of Crimson with no issues on its platforming and boss encounters.
