      Howdy!

      I just built my Retropie using RbPi2 and the 4.03 release. Paired my two PS3 controllers and they both work like a charm.

      Unfortunately I've learned that once you've paired your controllers you're unable to register additional Bluetooth devices. This causes an issue given I need to add a Bluetooth keyboard as well.

      In this thread, one user got it to work by registering the keyboard first, then the PS3 controllers.
      https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3163/pairing-bt-keyboard-and-ps3-controllers-with-pi3
      Later in the topic, the following statement is made:

      Thanks! I can confirm your fix works:

      • uninstall PS3 driver
      • reboot
      • pair the keyboard (or other BT device)
      • reinstall the PS3 driver

      Could someone please assist me and outline the steps above?

      1. How do I uninstall the PS3 driver?
        2)How do I re-install the PS3 driver?

      Thanks in advance!

          Thanks BuZz, appreciate it.

          Quick question, what option do I pick to "pair the keyboard (or other BT device)"?
