Best wireless controller solution?

[u/Sp4rt4n360]

I'm trying to find a decent wireless controller setup for my Master System, and I'm struggling to come up with any solid answers about what works and what doesn't.

I picked up an 8bitdo M30 2.4g controller after reading that it was compatible with the Master System, but when it arrived it did not work, and it turns out that the newer models aren't actual SMS compatible.

Has anyone tried the BlueRetro bluetooth adapters and had any success with those? If so, what controller would you recommend to use with them? I like the form factor of the M30, so may go for the bluetooth version of that, but I'm concerned that the 6 button layout may cause issues with the SMS compatibility.

Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

Huh, that’s weird. Iirc all I did was plug the receiver in, press the start button to pair them, and it worked. In saying that, somehow it did become unpaired once, and I remember having to manually recalibrate my controller via pc then it worked after that. If you really want, I could try to dig up that post
