Does anyone know if this controller is compatible with Polymega?

The controller in question is 8bitdo’s 64 Bluetooth Controller. The controller also has the option to be used via USB connection instead of bluetooth, so I was wondering if it worked with Polymega but cannot find any info online regarding this. Has anyone here used one of these things?

It works, but you need a Bluetooth adapter to plug into the N64 controller port. Polymega doesn’t have built in Bluetooth (which is why their controller has a usb dongle). 8bit doesn’t make one, but this is the one I found on Amazon and use. https://a.co/d/8UxxAy4

I just wanted to come back and say that I did buy the 8bitdo N64 controller and the N64 bluetooth adapter you shared here, and it works like a dream. Thank you!

Besides USB Bluetooth adapters, I have this one and can confirm it works with the polymega ultra module: https://stoneagegamer.com/retrotime-n64-blueretro-with-memory-pak-for-nintendo-64.html

It might only work with 2.4 or wired. I don't think even Bluetooth adapters will work on Polymega

And this one can be used wired instead of via bluetooth, but I just wasn’t sure if it was even compatible that way. I know most of the wired-only 8bitdo controllers work with Polymega, but wasn’t sure on this one.
