How to replicate the problem:

Basically, retroarch isn't probing the mouse and producing the output that it found a mouse like I've seen in other posts.

The trackball does work, I can use it as a mouse in the OS just fine.

It is bound to the devices as expected:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ ls -aLl /dev/input/by-id/
crw-rw---- 1 root input 13, 64 Aug 8 21:40 usb-1241_1111-event-mouse

crw-rw----+ 1 root input 13, 0 Aug 8 21:40 usb-XGaming_X-Arcade_2-joystick

And I am in the input group with appropriate permissions.

I ran strace on the retroarch invocation and noticed that something in the process did probe the device (here's what info it would have retrieved):

E:LIBINPUT_DEVICE_GROUP=3/1241/1111:usb-0000:01:00.0-1

Which seems like ID_INPUT_MOUSE=1 should make it be detected as a mouse device.

@ksuquix since there is no official release of Retropie for the Pi4 yet, I doubt you are going to get much tech support at this time.

Hi ksuquix, did you get this resolved i seem to have the same problem.

I have the same issue as well on pi4, with verbose logging udev is not picking up any mouse. The mouse works fine on the Operating System.

I've googled for quite some time; experimented with various configuration options to no avail.

Any guidance is greatly appreciated!

I have the same Problem on Pi 4 2gb, Raspberry Pi Os, RetroPie compiled with RetroPie instructions.

Tried all, udev, x, null, sdl, linuxraw, hid, nothing works, only the wheel in retroarch menu

Finally i found a really easy solution We Just need to press

Ctrl+Alt+F2, login,  then write emulationstation, to go back Quit Emulationstation and press Ctrl+Alt+F1.

The mouse works like a charm in atomiswave and mame, just put the game, go to Retroarch, Quick menu, Settings, Input p1, Move the mouse Index and the mouse to see it, no need udev nothing! Just that. I try to logout but now Raspberry pi OS have a Login Graphical screen, so we can't logout and run emulationstation just from a desktop Shortcut. But is a solution to shoot in games.
