My review of the Mayflash Magic NS Adapter
The wired PS4, PS3, Nintendo Switch Pro, Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox 360 controllers and fight sticks, and standard wired USB controllers like Logitech rumble gamepad F510 and F310 can be connected to your Nintendo Switch, PS3 and PC system."
I just got my Mayflash NS adapter from Amazon on Saturday. I had some time to experiment with it on my Nintendo Switch a little bit. I'm here to give my analysis and answer any question I can in the comment section.
When you order the adapter, it comes with a few things. It comes with the adapter itself, a USB cable to connect controllers to the Switch in handheld mode, a button sheet, and a manual with instructions on how to connect the controllers wired or wirelessly.
Setting up the adapter was easy. It has a few modes, some for use on the pc, some for the Switch. The Switch has two modes: regular and Pro. Pro mode is the same as regular, except for the fact that it supports rumble (not hd sadly) and the PS4 controller's gyro capability.
The controllers I were able to were as follows:
Wireless Wii U Pro Controller
Wired PS3 Controller
Wireless PS4 Controller
Setup was easy as pie. All you have to do is plug the adapter in the USB port in your dock or the provided USB cable, for handheld, select your mode using the button on the top of the adapter, and press the sync button on your controller and press the button on the adapter. And just like that your controller is connected. However, you will have to go into your Switch settings and enable the "Wired Pro Controller" setting for your controllers to work. Reviews for my separate controllers are below.
Wii U Pro Controller - This was the first controller I tried out and the main reason I bought the adapter. You can use this controller wired, but you can use it wirelessly. Setup was easy and I was quickly navigating the menus using my Wii U Pro. All the buttons worked well. Screenshot was Plus + Minus and Start/Select both acted as pause. It was really easy to get used to since the Pro Controller uses the same button layout as all other Nintendo controllers (unlike PlayStation and Xbox). I tested out Mario Kart, Splatoon, and Puyo Tetris. Mario Kart and Splatoon worked well (even though I suck without motion controls 😅). Puyo Tetris was fine, but I still prefer the Joycon to play that game as I feel the separated Dpad suits the game better. Practically flawless experience with this controller.
PS3 Controller - The PS3 controller I had was 3rd party, but that didn't stop it like from connecting just as easily. The PS3 controller was as straightforward as the Wii U Pro, just that I had a better time playing Tetris with this one since the Dpad is separated on this one. Something that confused me with this controller (and the PS4 controller) is that the button layout is different. As you may know, Sony and Nintendo have different ways of making their button schemes. While B (back) may be in the button of a Nintendo controller, it's on the right for Sony (circle). However the adapter allows you to rebind your buttons to my fit a different controller.
PS4 Controller - This one was the one I was most excited o try out, due to the fact that it supported gyro controls. Meaning you could play Splatoon with motion controls using the PS4's gyro capabilities. Naturally, this was the first thing I tried out. For the most part it works well. You can aim with the right stick and fine tune with the motion controls. However, there is a problem, and that is the rumble. The rumble for the PS4 controller is INSANELY POWERFUL, for quite the wrong reasons. Swimming in ink makes your controller go mental with all the vibrations. This could hinder someone's experience with motion controls as it can very easily mess up your shots, as well as be uncomfortable to your hands. Some games allow you to disable HD Rumble in the settings, but not Splatoon as far as I can tell. But other than that it works well. I also tried my hand at playing Mario Odyssey, and the motion controls work with Cappy well enough. You can pull off some of the special moves using the motions controls, like shaking your controller left or right to throw your hat I a circle, or shaking your controller while crouching to roll quicker. And luckily, Odyssey allows you to disable HD Rumble, which is really handy.
Not everything about the adapter is perfect though. There are some problems.
- The adapter feels like it was put together kinda cheap, so be careful with it.
- When the adapter is plugged inside the dock, it can be very difficult to unplug it or press the button on the top.
- You can only use one controller at a time.
In conclusion, this adapter was a very good purchase. Allowing me to use the controllers I already owned, it offers many new ways to play instead of the usual joycon. Very great purchase for someone that needs more controller for multi-player games like Mario Kart. Feel free to ask me any questions you have in the comments! I'll try to answer to the best of my ability.
Edit: Here's a video showing what happens when you try to connect more than one controller to a single adapter

Reviews for "Documenting and Preserving Music History through 24k Gold Vinyl"
- Rachel - 2/5 stars - I was really disappointed with the 24k magic vinyl. The sound quality was subpar and there were several skips throughout the record. I expected better from an artist like Bruno Mars. Overall, it was a letdown and I wouldn't recommend it.
- Alex - 1/5 stars - The 24k magic vinyl was a waste of money. The record arrived warped and scratched, making it unplayable. I contacted customer service and they were unhelpful and refused to provide a refund or replacement. I expected better quality control and customer service from this company.
- Sarah - 2/5 stars - I had high hopes for the 24k magic vinyl, but it fell short of my expectations. The vinyl itself was fine, but the packaging was lackluster and seemed cheap. There was no booklet or any additional content included, which was a disappointment. I wish I had invested in a deluxe edition or a different format instead.
- Michael - 2/5 stars - The 24k magic vinyl was underwhelming. The sound quality was average at best, and there was noticeable surface noise throughout the record. It took away from the overall listening experience. I expected a crisper sound from a vinyl, but unfortunately, this one didn't deliver. I wouldn't recommend it to audiophiles.
