not playing any games in a long time (11 or so years) that you can use a mouse & nothing more I'm wondering if i can use one of those SNES Bluetooth game controllers on games like this.
thought I'd ask before digging it out of storage & hoping i don't have to buy something new, using the mouse & keypad just doesn't work for me.

Controller support in PC games varies sort of wildly, but if a game has controller support and especially if it allows you to also remap buttons, you should most of the time be fine with any gamepad that works. There is a small risk with (like very) old USB stuff though, they might just no longer work due to lacking driver support. Bluetooth, I don't know but would assume could be the same thing.

So it really depends on how the controller is made,
If it is a basic controller with a general usb controller chip then likely it will be supported, this is how most cheap controllers are made these days.

Is it has a custom chip and drivers then it may need the buttons remapping in the game if supported.
