8bitdo Pro 2 controller with multiple Android devices (self.retrogaming)

Hopefully someone on here has the 8bitdo Pro 2 controller and can answer my question: can it connect to Android-devices on more than just the A-channel on the 4-way bluetooth connection? I have two Android devices that i would like to have connected so I can just change the 4-way bluetooth slider to connect, is this possible? Can Android devices also connect to the D- or X-input channel without issue?

One is the Google TV CC so unfortunately no USB-inputs. However the other is a USB-C dock mainly to be used with my Logitech Gcloud. So any BT-channel on the Pro 2 would work with the USB-adapter?

I've also been looking at newly release Gulikit KingKong Pro Max 3. It has several BT-channels plus one 2.4GHz with the included USB-adapter that unfortunately only seem to support Windows. However, I've heard mixed reviews of the KKPM3 in regards to hardware-quality and latency.

Now I'm thinking you don't even need the USB adapter to connect to both your Android devices. The Android mode is probably just another X-Input Bluetooth channel.
