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.

I have two vintage customized Super Nintendo C&L Championship Joysticks made by KBM and it's plugged into a USB Mayflash adapter, which plugs into the Wingman FGC converter that's connected to my PS5. I was REALLY skeptical it would even work but low and behold it does. I tried it out with a couple of fighting games like Darkstalkers, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, and the movements from the joystick and button presses are accurate, responsive and instantaneous. There is no latency with the connectivity that I could tell. The converter itself is easy to use with just a plug and play but you do have options to download to it to use turbo, custom button mapping and micros. I was blown away by how great this product performed, the value is reasonable, considering that you can literally use almost any USB controller or adapter with it. If you have some old school joysticks laying around then this little device might be the thing you need to breathe new life into that old tech.

Works great! Though its quite expensive it got done what I needed it to do. My go to controller is a Xbox Series X controller and I was able to use that on a PS5 thanks to this product

Absolutely phenomal. Took me a lil bit to figure out how to update it and set it up, but once I did, I was able to use my leverless with little to no delay in my inputs. It even works on non fighting games and let me play other games on my ps5 with it

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

I don’t even know the specifics to this little adapter but I know to use it when you have an Xbox controller and wanna use it for a ps5. I use it for fighting game tournaments (tekken) and this little guy does what it do

Lo probe está super bien

Great for the 8bit duo controller. . .

There's not a lot else that needs to be said about this device. It does exactly what it says it does, immediately and without any delay, faff. It seems expensive for what it is, but I took it to a couple of local tournaments and had no issues whatsoever. It's very sturdy and clearly well designed. If I'm going to pay what seems like a lot for something, I can't ask for anything more than that. Bear in mind if you have a fight stick with a USB host port on it (Like the Haute 42 T16) that it's lower latency to plug it directly into your stick rather than plugging the cable into it.

You can use any controller your want on ps5, by using this product.

needed a converter for a convention on short notice, this came quickly and works great, i recommend it

Works with no problems so far, plug and play !!!

Lo he utilizado hoy mismo, y ha funcionado tal y como se esperaba (en un torneo directamente, incluso!)
