They're dongles that allow you to use different controllers on different consoles. You can get them for PS4-XB1, or XB1-PS4, or X360-PS3, etc. They say they're immune to firmware updates because of the way you can reconfigure them to work with your controllers. Here's a whole list of them: https://www.focusattack.com/hardware-pcb/popular-brands/brook/

The main reason I'm posting about them is because of the silly situation in which a Logitech G29 wheel that costs hundreds of dollars will work on PS4 or PC but not an Xbone, whereas an almost identical G920 will work on Xbone or PC but not on PS4.

I see an opportunity here for someone who's been holding back on buying a wheel because they're paralysed for choice, suddenly having that barrier removed so that they can enjoy any game on any hardware with the same peripheral, without having to fork over shitloads of money or accidentally buying it for the 'wrong' console. It could apply handily to Rock Band instruments as well.

Bonus video of where I first heard about them :)
