      I have a system set up with 4 controllers on my pi400 and would like to use the keyboard to search for the game that I would like to play, from the ALL GAMES list. Is there a way to do this ? I do not want to use the keyboard as a controller, only as a way to input for game selection. Thank you!!

        @mike1889 Hi. Is there no response to your keyboard at all? Or only certain keys? Check this posting, it might help you out: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/17147/emulation-station-menu-not-responding-to-keyboard/5

          There is no response at all to the keyboard, I am not sure how it handles the Raspberry Pi400 built in keyboard. I would like to build a Bar top game system but I would like to search for the game in either the "ALL GAMES" section or my "FAVORITES" section. Also, I am undecided whether to go with a 6 button layout or a 8 button layout, and if I go with the 6 button layout, can I use those extra buttons for features like "LOAD/SAVE" Volume UP" "Volume Down" "ESC" ? Thanks for any help!!
