      Hello,

      Does anyone use 3rd party joy cons with their Retropie setup ?

      Official Joy Cons work, but they are expensive and you also need to buy a separate charger.

      For my handheld project I would like to use a 3rd party Joy con
      (they can be charged without a separate charging dock)
      or a Joy Con-like controller. (like the Ipega PG-9083)

      So has anyone used these 3rd party Joy Con controllers with Retropie and do they work ?

      Thanks in advance.

        They're just bluetooth controllers, right?

          Yes.
          If the wireless signal is exactly the same as the official Joy Cons,
          then it should work, I suppose.
          But no way to know for sure, unless someone has tried it before.
