Share
Ready to use your favorite custom fightstick, PlayStation, or Nintendo controller on your Xbox console? The Brook Wingman XB 2 is the key to cross-console compatibility, offering lag-free performance and powerful customization features.
This guide will show you how to connect the adapter and master the advanced Turbo and Remap functions.
Part 1: Initial Console Connection
The first step is establishing the connection between the adapter and your Xbox console (Xbox Series X/S or Xbox One).
- Connect to Console: Plug the Wingman XB 2 directly into a USB port on your Xbox console.
- Verify Connection: The Blue indicator light on the Wingman XB 2 will start slowly blinking. This confirms that the Wingman XB 2 and the console are connected and ready for a controller.
Part 2: Connecting Your Controllers
The Wingman XB 2 supports over 125 different controller models. Here’s the setup process for wired and wireless controllers:
1. Wired Joysticks & Controllers
Simply plug your wired USB controller or fightstick into the USB port on the Wingman XB 2. The Blue indicator will stop blinking and turn permanently solid to show a successful connection.
2. Wireless PS3, PS4, or PS5 Controllers
These controllers require a one-time wired pairing:
- Connect the wireless controller and the Wingman XB 2 using a USB cable.
- Once the Blue indicator turns permanently solid, remove the USB cable. The controller is now wirelessly paired.
3. Xbox Elite 2, Xbox One, or Nintendo Switch Controllers
These controllers use a quick wireless pairing function:
- Press and hold both the LED button (on the Wingman XB 2) and the Pair button (on the controller) simultaneously for one second.
- The adapter will connect, indicated by the steady Blue indicator light.
4. Xbox 360 Controllers
You will need the official Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver:
- Plug the 360 receiver into the USB port on the Wingman XB 2.
- The Blue indicator light will turn permanently solid, confirming the connection.
Part 3: Advanced Functions (Turbo & Remap)
The Wingman XB 2 allows you to customize your inputs on the fly. These steps use the Xbox Guide, View, and Menu buttons, as demonstrated with an Xbox One controller. The Red indicator signals that you are in a setup mode.
