connect a joystick with wireless usb donggle

Hi everyone

I have (2) pandora box arcade controllers that work fine on PC and Raspberry, but I cannot connect with google tv. It uses a wireless key (dongle) to connect. Yes, I have a hub that works, with storage working. The arcade gamepad is not Bluetooth either, it only pairs to the key. Yes, it has home/back buttons. No, was not possible to sync by pressing home... Any help would be great.

Hey there rrsantos,

I apologize for the late response, thank you for being patient! When connecting a wireless controller to the Chromecast with Google TV, I'm sorry to say, but the device needs to use Bluetooth. Currently, there is no other way to connect a game-pad aside from Bluetooth. If connecting via other methods is something you'd like to see in the future, please submit feedback via Google TV to let us know.

I look forward to your response, and if you have any other questions or concerns for me, please let me know!

Best regards,
Jeran
