Brook Wingman FGC Converter - an Arcade Joystick Converter, Built for PS5 Fighting Games, Supports Street Fighter 6 and Tekken 8

I've previously purchased 2 of Brook's Wingman converters primarily to use my XBOX 360 Madkatz TE. A 360 to PS4 and 360 to XBOX Series and have never had an issue with them. Took a while to grab this one but after many months I got it.While waiting, I learned that this converter does a bit more than just work with older joysticks as advertised. It will in fact work with just about any USB pad for the PS5. There is just one thing you need to be aware of and that is will the game you're trying to play support the pad or stick you wish to use.What works:1. Navigating the PS5 menu, any controller will work with the converter.2. If you are trying to play the PS5 version of Street Fighter 6, then the Brook converter will work with just about anything. Switch Pro controller, Dual Shock 4, 360 TE stick. It works as intended despite the fact it says fightsticks only, which is nice.If you are wanting to play any PS4 game on your PS5, again... the Brook converter will enable the use of just about any controller you wish to use with those games.(Note: If you wish to use an XBOX One or Series pad, to access the PS5's share button, you press the menu and view button simultaneously.)What doesn't work:Most PS5 games will actually not work with this converter. I sometimes, but rarely got a message from games that were not Street Fighter 6 saying this controller is incompatible with this game. It acts similar to trying to play a PS5 game with a Dual Shock 4 connected normally. It appears that it's not up solely up to the converter to dictate whether a controller works. It's also the game.But there is an exception... :You can use this converter to play non fighting PS5 games that have a PS5 upgrade from owning the disc version of the PS4 game as the PS5 upgrade requires the PS4 disc to launch the game. It seems to treat it like a PS4 game even though you are playing the PS5 version of it.Overall:It works as advertized and as intended for me. It's not for every PS5 game, but it does have the unadvertized perk of allowing access to *certain* PS5 games outside of fighting games which may be nice despite the fact most of us are seeking this out for current fighting games to use the fight sticks that outlive them without needing to shell out money for another stick. Leave everything else to the DualSense, but ultimately enjoy your fighting games, ladies and gentlemen. Brook delivers fundamental hardware to keep your fundamentals up in fighting games.

Just got the Sehawei Arcade Stick (it’s the Haute 42 hitbox) – and I noticed when playing on PS5, I would get the 8 min timer thing, where it would stop working. Got the hitbox on 2/29/2024, and the Brook Wingman FGC came in the mail next day. Plugged it into my ps5, then the hitbox into the converter, and was able to play Tekken 8 – no issues – so if you’re here because you are trying to use a hitbox for Tekken 8 on ps5, then look no further – go head get that $80 hitbox and this $60 converter instead of those $300 hitboxes lol - its day 1 of having it, so no issues so far, but just wanted to drop this review to help those who have a hitbox and don’t wanna bother trying to download “keys” and stuff off shady websites

Works perfectly. I got this last week. I have a playstation 5, I was able to use my 8bitdo arcade fighting stick. I was so happy I was able to play Street Fighter 6. I was able to play Breakers Revenge. The best part is that works wireless with the 8bitdo arcade stick. I have a lot of pets running around my house and sometimes wireless is better for me. Works right out of the box I did not do any updates. If you are using the 8bitdo arcade stick make sure to attached the dongle. I have not experienced any disconnections or any lag. Just happy I can play Street Fighter 6 wireless with the 8bitdo arcade stick.

Bought it for when I go to fgc local events but unfortunately doesn’t work with my hitbox, but that’s my fault because I forgot I bought the pc version not the one with the PlayStation board. However, I’ve let other people use it many times and it always comes in handy.

I use it with my haute42 button pad and it works great on my PS5. My pad won't work on the PS5 without it. It's very easy to use. Just plug and play.

It works like described

Does exactly what it says it does

I was a little skeptical about purchasing this item. However, I looked up a few reviews and also saw a few tourneys of players inserting the wingman, Ijust purchased it. As soon as I got it on my hands, I updated it, plugged it in, and It worked instantly! So glad I made this purchase. I play on PS5 and the Dualsense didn't quite did it for me. The controllers that I tested on were, Series X, Swith Fighting Commamder, Mayflash F300 stick, and Switch Pro controller. They all worked instantly!. BUY IT NOW!!!!
