      Hi!
      I'm thinking of setting up one of these systems for my kids to use.... will need 2x Bluetooth controllers...
      Does anyone have any suggestions / links to bluetooth controllers that work really well with retropie?

      If it makes any difference, I'll be running it on a Pi4 with 8GB RAM

      Thanks

        I don't think you can go far wrong with PS3/XBoxOne/WiiUPro if you can find genuine ones for a decent price
        I currently use 2 WiiUPros - one genuine/one knockoff and the knockoff is starting to die

          I'll take a look... thanks... I was also looking at these.... lowest price they've ever been on Amazon currently.....? Might be worth a punt?

            if you are looking at the aftermarket ones just check the recent reviews to see if they are ok
            I had to return one that was a complete dud (dead bluetooth chip)
            Amazon guarantee has you covered tho :)

              @haverer For use with kids I recommend these.

              I love 8bitdo controllers, but it is easy to mess up the bluetooth configurations if you aren't careful. The ones listed above are pretty kid proof.
