Is it better than the official Microsoft adapter for the Xbox controller?

Edit: I checked, while it's more customizable and supports more controllers, you can only connect one controller to one adapter at a time.

I had been eyeing these to use Stadia controllers on the Nintendo Switch, and this is a great price
Do NOT do this. No rumble support. Need Mayflash Magic NS Lite or above for rumble support for Stadia controller on Switch (also $12).

At least on the specs listed on their site it says the dongle can be connected to a Switch, a PC, a Mac, or a SteamDeck and it should work. PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X or S, are not listed. I assume it won't work, but maybe some one that owns one can confirm if it does or not.

I think this also only works with Bluetooth, whereas the Microsoft adapter will work with the old Xbox One controllers that don't have Bluetooth.

I'm also guessing this doesn't deliver audio through the controller. The Microsoft adapter shows up as a sound device and will route the audio through the controller if you plug corded headphones into it IIRC.

Already have one but a great deal. I like to have one for my switch as it seems like most switch controllers have awful drift so I get a bitdo adapter to just use a dualsense or Xbox controller on my switch instead

Last time I checked there was more stability with mayflash than 8bitdo. The reliability is important. But maybe 8bitdo improved. If I had choice I stick with mayflash. 8bitdo is more popular or heavily marketed.

How about the official xbox dongle? Can you connect 2 controllers to 1 official xbox dongle?

Using one of these to use a Stadia controller on a switch. Works very well.
