      here is a controller which can be used with Amazon FireTV Chrome stick and Android tablets.
      It is quite cheap and has good ratings i would like to use it with my retropi raspi 3

      Is this automatic compatible with Retropie since it runs with Android Linux?

        I have a similar controller (mine is red and black). I wouldn't say it is automatic compatible. I configured for retropie months (a year?) ago, and as I remember I had to restart the bluetooth registering procedure several times until the controller was recognized by the Pi3.
        After that it was OK for me. Well, I had some issues with vice (C64), but when I figured it out and fixed it (my mistake) I could - and I'm still able with the latest Pi - play with my C64 games.
        Emulationstation menu is also ok.
        And the twist:
        a couple of days ago I wanted to try out some other games (PSX, and gamesandwatch) and it seems that there are some mapping issues. I can't find the reason, I guess it is just again some configuration glitch... Still investigating.
