BITFUNX BlueRetro Bluetooth Wireless Controller Adapter Receiver for N64

Bottom line: The BITFUNX BlueRetro Bluetooth Wireless Controller Adapter Receiver: Pairs PS3/PS4/PS5, Xbox One S, Series X/S, Switch Pro and Joycon pads to real N64 hardware; main trade-off: only one wireless controller connects at a time, so no multiplayer from a single unit.
