Hello. I was wondering if there is a way to use the hand held controllers like the track ball or spinner controllers offered by iCode with a device that only takes bluetooth. Namely, the Apple Vision Pro. Apple recently came out with an arcade package that includes retro games called Retrocade. It looks really cool on the Vision Pro. However, you need to use a typical hand held controller like the PS5 controller. This makes games like Centipede and Breakout difficult to play w/o a spinner or trackball. I was wondering if a device that could make the controller send a bluetooth signal might work but those devices are limited. I could only find a device being sold in Japan (USB2BTPlus) that can make a USB HID device send out a bluetooth signal. But I'm not sure this would even work. The Vision Pro can only receive bluetooth and has no ports. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi Jon,
Look into Cronuz Zen ( https://www.cronusmax.com/ ). Its a bit pricy but they claim they can connect with low energy Bluetooth and emulate an xbox one controller which apparently apple now allows (no sure). it used to be Apple would restrict controller to one that had Apple MFi chip but they apparently dropped that to allow very popular controllers to work like the Xbox one.
Another one similar is TitanTwo with its Extension Kit. even more expensive. https://moddedzone.com/collections/titan-two-device-products
I am working on a Bluetooth version of our trackball and spinner and hopefully late summer we will have it ready. that one will also be able to emulate an Xbox One so who knows.
I hope this helps. if you happen to get one of these adapters, please do let us know how it goes....
