      System is a Pi Zero, RetroPie install, Emulationstation 2.1.5rp, rp version 4.1.2, with a targus 4.0 bt dongle, after trying a audiobot 4.0 dongle, both show active and successful.. No other updates or anything like that installed this time, last time everything was the same except I installed all drivers and updated all installed packages same result.. In the Bluetooth setup, pairing does not work, via the command prompt and audio Bluetoothctl I get to pair (+tab) and nothing..

        As a troubleshooting measure, have you tried pairing it with another computer besides the Pi? Also, do you know if it will currently pair successfully with the WiiU?

          @mediamogul I am currently using it on my Alienware laptop via the built in bluetooth as we speak, and as of two weeks ago it was working fine on my Wii U..

            Have you tried unpairing it from your laptop as a precursor to pairing with the Pi?

              @mediamogul In windows 10 i have told it to unpair and then turned off bluetooth just to be safe.

                Working in reverse, do you have another Bluetooth device that you could pair with the Pi to test?

                    That might ultimately be worth trying later, but do you have anything easy like a mouse or keyboard you could try pairing?

                        @OfficialFBomb said in Controller Help:

                        reboot.

                          @marie011101 I've tried that a million times, it's searches for the controller, and the controller searches for the pi, they just don't connect, on top of that being an old build..
