First check that your game controller is compatible here:

If you have trouble pairing bluetooth wireless controllers initially, see here:
If you want to test you will have to SSH in and run a few commands so I can get the output and try to debug the issue.

You will need to forget the device in ES Settings >> Bluetooth and Controller Settings >> Bluetooth Devices >> Forget Device.
Then in SSH:
cd /emuelec/bin
cp -f /usr/bin/emuelec-bluetooth /emuelec/bin
sed -i 's/DEBUG = False/DEBUG = True/g' emuelec-bluetooth
./emuelec-bluetooth
Turn on controller, wait 10 seconds.
For Controllers needing direct connect authorization:
Then plug into cable, wait a few seconds, press the HOME button.
Disconnect plug, press Connect Button on the controller again, and wriggle the left joystick a bit and hopefully it should auto connect.
If that does not work I need all the debug output of the emuelec-bluetooth command. Post the output in a gist: https://gist.github.com/ and provide the link in this thread. Also be sure to mention what controller you are trying to connect. Don't forget to mention which EmuELEC version you are using. :)
