      @grant2258 yes agreed, a reboot would be a definitive approach

          @albecacif just to confirm, can you execute groups ? this should show you all the groups the user belongs to. Did you reboot right?

                  is your Logitech working when you select mouse index 1 in RA?

                        The keyboard is working fine. Only the mouse fails.

                          [INFO] [udev]: Keyboard #0 (/dev/input/event0).
[INFO] [udev]: Keyboard #1 (/dev/input/event2).

                            test your mouse in mame2003 with outrun believe it or not.

                            left click will accelerate
                            moving the mouse will turn the car

                                @grant2258 after the feedback it looks like indeed it is an RA issue then.

                                Great that you will scalate it to the RA guys. As a hint, my best guess of where the problem might be is in this post: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/20004/mouse-as-a-zapper-lr-fceumm-rpi-3-b/29
                                I don't have time nowadays to debug it myself unfortunately :( Thanks!

                                  Hi,

                                  The outrun version that I have only runs on FBalpha.

                                  Thanks a lot for your help :) I think this is a RA issue since it works fine in a 1.6.x version.

                                    Maybe it's this issue in the RetroArch's issue tracker ?
