In order to connect your PlayStation Access Controller to the Switch and Switch 2, an adapter needs to be used to “trick” your Switch into thinking the Access Controller is an Xbox controller. The Brook XE 2 adapter will allow you to connect and use the PlayStation Access Controller on the Xbox. First, ensure that the Brook XE 2 is updated to the latest firmware. Then, turn on Pro Controller Wired Communication on the Switch by gong to Settings > Controllers and Accessories > Turn on Pro Controller Wired Communication. Use a USB-C to USB-A cable to then plug the PlayStation Access Controller into the adapter and plug the adapter into the Switch or Switch 2. The Access Controller should now work on the Switch.

The buttons on the PlayStation Access Controller will also need to be mapped first to the desired controls before connecting to the Switch. Typically, this can only be done directly on the PS5 console. However, there is now a website that will allow users to map the controls from their computer. Use the link below to access the website that allows remapping of the controls on the PlayStation Access controller. Please see the video for instructions for setting up the Access Controller on the Switch and Switch 2.
