Possible to use this wireless arcade kit with retropie?

Hi guys

Since some weeks i have setup my first retropie on my raspberry 3b
I'm an old fascinated arcade gamer but very new in the retropie world.

Now i want to make a wireless arcade joystick.
So here is my question:

Is it possible to use this kit for building my wireless arcade stick for retropie? (Found this kit on my way of searching a good arcade joystick set)
Anyone knows if it will be fully functional in retropie?

Has anyone some experience with this kit from timeharvest?

Thanks

Proooobably? It looks like a regular usb device, the wireless is handled in the usb-stick, so given that it works on pc/xbox/ps4/android chances are good.

Of course, I guarantee nothing =)

Hi Guys

I'm back.
Today i got my Timeharvest wireless kit from Aliexpress.

i was very nervous to test is asap
so i wired all buttons and charged the 1000mA Battery
As next i put the USB wireless adapter in my raspberry pi 3 and turned the kit on the button power on.
(Seems to be the same wirelss dongle as from the wireless pandora box!)

Boah....i could without any problems, configure the joystick and ALL Buttons! Also the buttons on the board are recognized by retropie! (5 Buttons extra)
I didn't noticed any delay....ok this i will try later in the game.

So happy that it work without problems.
Today i ordered my plexiglas pieces. When this package arrives, i will mount the kit finaly in a plexicase.

Here are the fotos of the kit.
One in charging mode, the other in ON mode after charging....
