Function Description

The Magic-S Pro adapter serves as a connectivity bridge, allowing users to utilize their Xbox One Series 2 controllers with a Nintendo Switch console. This enhances the gaming experience by providing players with the option to use their preferred controller across different platforms. The adapter facilitates wireless communication between the Xbox controller and the Switch, ensuring a seamless and responsive gaming session. It supports various input modes, including PS4, XInput, Switch Pro, and PS Classic, indicated by different LED colors, making it adaptable to a range of gaming setups. The primary function detailed here is its ability to enable an Xbox One Series 2 controller to be recognized and used as a "Pro Controller" on the Nintendo Switch.

Usage Features

To connect the Xbox One Series 2 controller with the Magic-S Pro on a Nintendo Switch, several steps must be followed to ensure proper functionality:

  1. Firmware Upgrade: Before initiating the connection process, it is crucial to ensure that the Magic-S Pro adapter has the latest firmware installed. This step is vital for optimal performance and compatibility with the latest console updates and controller models.

  2. Nintendo Switch Settings: The Nintendo Switch console requires a specific setting to be enabled for the Magic-S Pro to function correctly. Users must navigate to the "System Settings" on their Switch, then proceed to "Controllers and Sensors," and finally enable "Pro Controller Wired Communication." This setting allows the Switch to recognize and communicate with the adapter as a Pro Controller. Once the adapter is set to Switch Pro mode, its LED indicator will display a purple light, confirming the correct mode.

  3. Initial Setup of Magic-S Pro:

    • Plug the Magic-S Pro adapter into the Switch Dock.
    • Ensure the adapter is set to "Purple Mode," which signifies its operation as a Switch Pro controller. This mode is typically indicated by a purple LED light on the adapter.
  4. Initiating Pairing on Magic-S Pro:

    • Locate the "SYNC" button on the side of the Magic-S Pro adapter.
    • Press and hold this SYNC button for approximately 3-5 seconds. The LED indicator on the adapter will begin to blink rapidly, signaling that it is in pairing mode and actively searching for a controller.
  5. Initiating Pairing on Xbox One Elite Series 2 Controller:

    • Simultaneously, press the "Xbox" button on the Xbox One Elite Series 2 controller. This action powers on the controller and prepares it for pairing.
    • Next, press the "SYNC" button located on the top edge of the Xbox One Elite Series 2 controller. This puts the controller into pairing mode, causing its Xbox button light to flash.
  6. Confirmation of Connection:

    • Once both devices are in pairing mode, they will attempt to establish a connection.
    • Upon successful synchronization, the LED indicators on both the Magic-S Pro adapter and the Xbox controller will stop flashing and remain solid, indicating a stable connection.
    • After successful pairing, press the "Home" (Xbox) button on the Xbox One Elite Series 2 controller. This action confirms the connection to the Magic-S Pro, and the controller is now ready for use with the Nintendo Switch.

Maintenance Features

The document also provides important remarks regarding the connection process and troubleshooting, which can be considered maintenance features for ensuring a smooth user experience:

  1. Patience During Connection: It is noted that establishing a connection between the Xbox Elite Series 2 controller and the Magic-S Pro adapter may sometimes take a longer duration. During this time, the lights on both the controller and the adapter might flash, indicating an ongoing pairing process. Users are advised to wait patiently until the LED indicators stop flashing and remain solid, signifying a successful and stable connection.

  2. Handling Disconnections: The connection might occasionally be disconnected shortly during the Bluetooth pairing process. In such cases, the lights on the controller and adapter will flash again. The system is designed to attempt reconnection automatically. Users should continue to wait patiently for the devices to re-establish the connection.

  3. Disconnecting the Controller: To disconnect the controller from the adapter, users should press and hold the "HOME" button on their Xbox controller. This action will power off the controller, effectively severing the connection.

  4. Troubleshooting Failed Connections: If the Bluetooth connection fails to establish, users are advised to repeat the entire pairing process from the beginning. Before attempting to reconnect, it is recommended to:

    • Pull out the Magic-S Pro adapter from the system.
    • Plug the adapter back into the system.
    • Restart the Xbox One Elite Series 2 controller.
    • Then, proceed with the pairing steps as outlined above. This reset procedure helps to clear any temporary glitches that might prevent a successful connection.

The Magic-S Pro adapter, therefore, offers a practical solution for gamers looking to expand their controller options on the Nintendo Switch, backed by clear instructions and troubleshooting advice to ensure a reliable connection.
