      Pi Model or other hardware: Raspberry Pi 4
      Power Supply used: (If using a Pi): Canakit power supply
      RetroPie Version Used (eg 3.6, 3.8.1, 4.1 - do not write latest): 4.7.1
      Built From: Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website. Downloaded from RetroPie website

      Currently I am using Nintendo Wii U Pro controllers and they are problematic. They will not work after a reboot I have to use a keyboard and do a manual pairing for the Wii U Pro controllers. What would be a recommendation for wireless bluetooth controller that work with Raspberry Pi 4 and RetroPie 4.7.1 +? They need to be reliable as my family lacks the technical skills to be able to hook up a keyboard and navigate the bluetooth pairing process.

      I am looking at these controllers Y-Team Wireless PS4 Controller on Amazon.com:

      Thank you!

        Then maybe a bluetooth adapter like this one from Mayflash could be an alternative to new controllers. I'm using it for my Wii U Pro controller clones from QUMOX, and they pair perfectly every time.
