A few years ago, before I bought a Nintendo for my kid, he was playing Minecraft on an iPad. I tried to pair a Bluetooth controller, and had no luck. I think the OS was too locked down. At the same time, I could connect a Bluetooth controller to my Android phone and play Minecraft with no problem.

In fact, I've said for a long time that I wish I had a nice Android tablet with a Tegra chip that I could both use as regular tablet and as a game system.

Nvidia used to have exactly that tablet, though it’s quite old now. I ended up with 2 even through a battery recall program where you were supposed to just throw out the recalled unit. Maybe a little ahead of its time, but it was awesome for retroarch. Had HDMI out so you could use it as a console. Fun times.
