      Pi Model or other hardware: 3
      RetroPie Version Used : 4.4
      Built From: Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website
      Controller used: BTC-938

      I was wondering if anyone else is having this problem. When I plug my controller in through the usb port it works fine. But when I hook it up through the bluetooth, the gamepad cant be found. The controller and the retropie both say that it is hooked up. How to I get the retro pie to register the game controller when it is hooked up through bluetooth?

        @TheSkyrish When you say 'hook-up', do you mean you paired the controller via bluetooth, as described in the Docs ? Note that you need to configure the controller (via the normal Input Configuration dialog in Emulationstation) after you've paired it, the configuration done when it was connected on USB might not be sufficient.

          @mitu I try and re configure the controller when it is paired in Bluetooth. But the the retropie is not recognising it in the configurtion setup and I can't reconfigure it.

            @TheSkyrish It seems this is a mobile geared device - for IOS and Android - so it might not be compatible. Looking over some reviews and specs, it seems to have a 'mode switch' between different conenction modes (Gamepad/Mouse/ICade ?).
            Can you try switching between them, re-pair and see if it's detected as gamepad ?
