      Hello Pi Community

      I am using a Retro Pi, on a Rasberry Pi Zero. I have installed successfully, however the Pi won't detect my Keyboard or game controllers.

      I have tried several Keyboards including wireless and wired PS3/PS4 controller & Xbox 360 with no success.

      If anyone has a solution it would be much appreciated, I tired searching the for a resolution however I couldn't find a clear resolution.

      Many thanks

      Steven

        How are you connecting the keyboards/controllers ? Do you have an USB hub or an adapter ?

            Have you tried to see if the cable is working - on another device ? Are you using a proper power source for your Pi ?
            Unfortunately without a keyboard or without using SSH is going to be difficult to diagnose this. Is your Pi Zero the W model, with WiFi ?
