    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.
