Product Information
Full details
This Spektrum Wireless Simulator USB Dongle (SPMWS2000) is designed for RC hobbyists who want to practice with flight simulators or play compatible games using their existing Spektrum DSMX/DSM2 radio transmitter without the hassle of cables. Its key benefit is providing a seamless wireless connection to PCs, Macs, and Android devices. A minor caveat is that it functions as a generic joystick input, meaning game compatibility relies on the simulator or game supporting standard joystick controls.

It will work with any RC simulator or game that can accept input from a standard USB joystick or game controller. Compatibility ultimately depends on the simulator's input settings.

Troubleshooting
Dongle is not recognized by the computer/device.
Ensure the dongle is securely plugged into the USB port. Try a different USB port. If using an Android device, verify that it supports USB OTG (On-The-Go) and that you are using the correct adapter.
Transmitter controls are not working in the simulator/game.
Check the input settings within the simulator or game. Ensure the Spektrum dongle is selected as the input device and that all channels are correctly mapped to your transmitter's sticks and switches. You may need to re-bind your transmitter to the dongle if it was previously bound to another receiver.
Choppy or intermittent connection.
Ensure there are no strong sources of wireless interference near the dongle or transmitter. Try moving closer to the computer or device. Ensure your transmitter's battery is adequately charged.
Simulator/game does not detect the dongle as a joystick.
Confirm that the simulator or game supports standard USB joystick input. Some games may require specific configuration. Check if the operating system recognizes it as a generic game controller in its device settings.
