Hardware: Matricom G-Pad BX Wireless USB Rechargeable Bluetooth Pro Game Pad Joystick


To turn it on/off press the "Mode" button for a while.

This gamepad has three available modes:
  • Mouse = Mode + A
  • Android = Mode + X
  • IOS = Mode + B

Windows 10 - 1607- x64

It does not requires any drivers to be installed.  I had tested the "Mouse" and "Android" mode.

You need to pair it by:

1) Access Windows  "Add a Bluetooth Device".


2) Press the "Mode+X" buttons (or the mode you want to pair) at the same time on the controller so the lights starts blinking.
3) On the screen select the "Bluetooth Gamepad" and select "Pair". It will take a little while and it will say "Connected".


At that time the lights on the controller will stop blinking and only one light will remain turned on. (depending on the mode).



Android Mode: You can check the  "Control Panel - Setup USB Game Controller" and if it is paired on "Android Mode" it will recognize the buttons without problems.


Mouse Mode: If you selected this mode, it will also be recognized as a Game Controller but you will move the mouse with the control of right thumb.  L1 is left lick, R1 is right click.  The controller will show the second light turned on once it is paired.

iOS Mode: On Windows I was able to pair it with this mode. Two lights of the controller turned on at the same time (the first and the second light) but it was not able to make it work on Windows.  The buttons are recognized as different combinations of key strokes, so I think that this mode may be useless on Windows.

3 in 1 Magic Joy Box



I got the "3 in 1 Magic Joy Box" to connect the Playstation, Xbox 1 and Gamecube controller to the USB port of the computer.

The nice thing is that you can plug the three controllers and it will recognize the controllers like independent ones, so it is an easy way to have three players on the PC (with each different controller). For the moment I had only tried with two. 

Features: (from the official site)

  • Connect PS/PS2, GC, XBox game controller to your PC;
  • Connect PS/PS2 and XBox dancing pad to your PC;
  • Compatible with Windows98/ME/2000/XP;
  • Support all buttons on the game controller;
  • Support 4 types of Real Vibration: Constant Force; Sine Force; Spring Force; Ramp Force;
  • Support both digital and analog modes;
  • Three players can play simultaneously.

Windows 8.1 - 64 bits

Windows 8.1 x64 recognized the device and sets the drivers they can find. I had plugged two controller (PSX and Gamecube) to the device and after that I plugged the "3 in 1 Magic Joy Box" to the USB port.





Windows recognize the two controller and I was able to test the buttons 

It set the name exactly the same which is not nice, since you can not find out which one is the controller. 

The buttons works fine.

But the "3 in 1 Magic Joy Box" comes with a driver that I had tried.

3 in 1 Magic Joy Box Driver on Windows 8.1 x64

For the moment the driver that comes in the CD under the directory "Vista" works fine on Windows 8.1 x64. After installing the driver there are some changes con the configuration.

The "About" tab, very important:

The Gamecube controller. It has a better test area, button re-mapping and rumble test.








The PSX controller. It has a better test area, button re-mapping and rumble test.  



The Device installed driver looks like this:
The driver installed is pnx.sys version 1.0.0.1

XBOX Controller

After some time I found an xbox 1 controller to test with this adapter. For the moment, when I plug this device, I get one USB unrecognized device, while the PSX and GCC controllers keeps working.

Maybe I'm missing a driver so the xbox controller get recognized by Windows and it is not included on the driver packed.

Blue Screen of Death

I had noticed that on Windows 8.1 (64bits) with the driver ver 2.0.1.0, if I had this device with a GCC and a PSX controller plugged at the same time, it makes the Windows machine very unstable. It gives a blue screen of death from time to time or when an application try to access the gamepad configuration (ex: configuring the gamepads on "Project 64").
