USB controllers connect via the USB-C port on the dongle. BT connects wirelessly. Mode availability depends on what the controller supports — check your controller's manual for mode switching instructions.

* Bluetooth is only supported through an external Bluetooth USB dongle from the compatible list below.

** Some controllers come with a 2.4G wireless dongle that can be connected to the BitLink Dongle's USB-C port for wireless play.

It is highly recommended that you use an external powered hub when using a wired USB-C controller with a rechargeable battery, as the power supply from the BitLink Dongle is limited.

This list is not exhaustive. We are continuously testing and adding compatible controllers. If your controller is not listed, it may still work — give it a try!
