This works brilliantly! It has paired with every controller I've thrown at it, and I can't detect any lag.

5 GC BlueRetro Wireless Controller Receiver (Black)
Posted by Michael Leible on 28th Mar 2024
Adapter looks really good and is working fine with my bluetoooth controllers, pairing is pretty easy and you can update firmware and edit mapping within Blueretro Web config (which is not the easiest way but still nice that this is possible). Definitely recommend this adapter.

5 Amazing modern controlling
Posted by Chris on 29th Oct 2023
I had some initial teething problems getting this dongle to pair with my controller but once it got going it has been consistently fabulous. Really modernises the control of the GameCube, I'm absolutely thrilled. A big step above the wavebird and the only thing that could improve this is if there was a solid GameCube style wireless controller I could pair to it.
