The PCE BT is a Bluetooth Adapter that allows you to connect various Bluetooth controllers to your PC Engine. This includes PS3, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S & X, Switch Joy-Cons, 8BitDo (Bluetooth only) and other Bluetooth controllers.

The PCE BT runs on the incredible BlueRetro platform by Jacques Gagnon. A portion of each sale is donated to Jacques to further support the platform.

Features:

  • Use various Bluetooth devices with your PC Engine
  • Supports Turbo (requires firmware 1.7+)
  • 2, 3, and 6 button controller modes
  • Built in multitap mode for up to 5 Bluetooth devises
  • Very low latency, comparable to "2.4Ghz" devices (varies based on controller being used)
    Example: 8BitDo's PC Engine Mini Controller is around 7.4ms (rpubs.com) whereas the PCE BT with a PS5 controller is lower at around 5.4ms
  • Remappable buttons that save to the PCE BT
  • Easy to use web interface
  • Open source and user updatable
  • Plug & Play

Note: In an effort to meet rising demand, we've streamlined the design of the PCE BT for quicker manufacturing. This also means the adapter is scientifically smaller than the previous version. There is a caveat though, Duo R users will now need a 8 pin mini DIN female to male patch cable.

Andrew T. ★★★★★

Went from fighting with a cable to lounging on the couch instantly, and the pairing was shockingly smooth after I read the instructions once. The adapter's small footprint means it barely sticks out of the console, which I wasn't expecting. Now my original Pad is wireless and it feels like the futur
