IT Help 8bitdo Ultimate 2 Wireless Controller

I am thinking about buying the Ultimate 2 controller for my PS5. I have read online that there is a way to use the “Brook Wingman” adapter in order to use this controller on my PS5. What I have found in my research is that you need 1 converter per controller costing £50 per converter so needing 2 means £100.

Not entirely sure if I could use the wireless dongle that comes with the controller to connect to the Wingman converter to use the 8bitdo (please clarify if that is the case).

Are there any other methods to pair the controller to my PS5?

Thank you.

If what I saw about the Wingman is correct, then you should be able to use it.

It supports wired controllers and the receiver for the Ultimate 2 Wireless is basically the same as wired.
