Connecting to Consoles and PCs

 
The Quadstick can be used with the PS3, PS4, XBox One, XBox 360, Wii, Wii U, Switch, PC & Mac.  A USB protocol converter is required or recommended for some game consoles.  The Quadstick can connect directly to the PS3, PS4, PC/Mac and Nintendo Switch.  A USB converter will be needed for the Xbox One/360, Wii or Wii U consoles.  The Quadstick is supplied with a high quality USB 2.0 cable about 10 feet long.  If a longer cable is required, see below.
 
 
 

Note for using Active Extension cables when a longer cable is required:

 
If the distance between the game console and the Quadstick requires a longer cable, the following active extension cables have been successfully used:
 
 
That last one uses a dedicated CAT5E or CAT6 Ethernet wire but does not actually connect to your network.
 
You may need a powered hub at the Quadstick end if the power supplied to the Quadstick is not well regulated.  The CronusMax must be at the Quadstick end of the cable.
 
Active extension cables will not work if positioned between a USB converter, like a CronusMax or Brook Super Converter, and the Quadstick.  The Active Cable must be connected between the game console and the USB converter.  Active cables have a one-port USB hub at the female end of the cable, they are not just long wires.
