Q: Can I use multiple adapters for multiplayer games?
A: Yes, you can connect many adapters to the same computer and each one will be recognized as a separate controller.

Q: Is the adapter USB 2.0 or USB 3.0? Can I connect it to an USB 3.0 port?
A: The adapter is USB 2.0. It can be connected to USB 2.0 as well as USB 3.0 ports.

Q: I see the adapter has a mouse mode. How does this work?
A: Once mouse mode is enabled using the adapter manager, the pointer will be controller by the joystick on Classic controller, Classic controller pro and Nunchuk controllers. The uDraw and Drawsome tablets can also be used as a mouse.

Q: What are the differences with the old (V2) version?
A: It's mostly a new mechanical design with a built-in connector. Also, the included USB cable is longer and better suited for use with Guitars.

Q: Is the performance equal to the previous (V2) version?
A: Yes, it is exactly the same because this new version runs the same firmware on almost identical electronics.
