      Hey Guys,
      I set up my raspberrypi3 as a retropi. Now im looking for controllers. Which controllers are you using? Can you recommend any 3rd party controllers? Like the cheapter ps3/nintendo/xbox like controller? Im looking for a cheaper solution than 4 controller 50€-75€ each just to play bomberman, mario kart, mario party or other party games with my roommates.

      If none wireless 3rd party controller is working than what wired controller can you recommend?

        @Eisbergsalat, these are highly recommended and work perfectly fine with RetroPie. I have 3 different types of this brand:

          Old PS3 or WiiU Pro controllers are supported fine in wireless (Bluetooth) mode.

              Logitech F310 is a great little controller for $20.

                I have a few Logitech F310 wired controllers and 1 Logitech F710 wireless controller that I use. The wireless is great but for some older games the wired is almost necessary to get response time down.
                I have also successfully paired a Nintendo switch pro controller over blue tooth but I haven't used it much at this point. I wanted to keep it paired with my switch instead.

                      Usually I use a PS3 pad which works really well. Does anyone has a Retro-bit Saturn Controller Bluetooth or 2.4Ghz in use with Retropie?
