PS5 DualSense Controller works with the Nintendo Switch (8bitdo adapter required)

[Marc]

Looks like you can use the new PS5 DualSense controller with the Nintendo Switch, but you'll need an 8bitdo wireless adapter to successfully connect it. It's been confirmed to be working with the PS4 controller as well.

Anyone with both tried this yet?

Would you buy an 8bitdo adapter just to connect your PlayStation controller to your Switch?

Id rather buy a pro controller. The adapter is 20 bucks. You could buy a good quality third party controller for 20 bucks (PowerA).

That would be awesome to use it for Switch games! I also heard it doesn’t connect to PS4, but does on PS3. Very strange.
