      Can anyone tell me of some wireless controllers that will work with retropie?

      Im looking for wireless versions of the below:
      N64
      PS1
      Master system

      i have seen a few but they require separate drivers to be installed

        @retroryan89 hey,
        For N64 I've found the Brawler 64 by Retro fighters to be the best all round for n64 wireless. Check out my review in General Discussion
        For PS1 the 8bitdo SN30 Pro + or Pro+ 2 work great for this and they feel great. Also just a general ps4 controller works good.
        For Mastersystem again an 8 bitdo controller - the N30. It's modelled on the NES controller but they're pretty similar in terms of button position and controller shape.
        Hope this helps!

          PS3 controllers are fairly cheap these days, wireless and of solid construction. They make perfect PS1 controllers.

          Currently running:
          Retropie 4.8.9 on a Pi Zero 2W (Overclock Settings: CPU 1400Mhz)
          ES-DE on a GMKtec K6 (Windows 11, 32GB RAM)

            A couple of my favorites:

            Logitech F710
            https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Logitech-Controller/

            Nintendo Switch Pro Controller
            https://store.nintendo.com/pro-controller.html

            The Logitech is pretty affordable, works right out of the box, and uses 2.4GHz wireless adapter so you don't have to mess with bluetooth pairing. Supports rumble.

            The switch pro is more expensive, but the stick would be in a better position for N64 games. It does use bluetooth so it needs to be paired, but I had no trouble with getting it to work.
