I had a Rii handheld keyboard and I was able to do Page Up/Down in Emulationstation using the mapped shoulder buttons when I was running RetroPie from Berryboot, but I have since installed a Retropie image from the website and switched to the Logitech K400, and I find that I no longer have "upper" and "lower" shoulder buttons as an option on the input config. Instead I now have "Shoulder Buttons" and "Trigger Buttons", and I'm not sure how those correspond to the upper/lower shoulder buttons. None of the items on the input configuration dialog, when configured with this keyboard, provide the page up/down functionality (unless it is now performed with the thumbsticks, which I did not try to configure).

Not sure if it is relevant, but I do have Page-down functionality in, for example, Retropie-Setup. Just not in Emulationstation. So Linux sees the keyboard correctly. I have also configured my keyboard for the correct region, FWIW.

I know a lot of people have this keyboard so I figure somebody probably has this working. Any advice is appreciated.

@rrdein the top/bottom was renamed as it was confusing. The shoulder buttons map to page up / down in ES.

the installation instruction have some pics of controllers with the mappings to give you an idea - https://retropie.org.uk/docs/First-Installation/#configure-controllers

I have mapped the shoulder buttons to several different sets of keys, and they still do not provide Page Up/Down functionality. BTW, I gave the wrong Retropie version. My correct version is Linux retropie 4.4.26-v7+ #915 SMP

@rrdein That is not the version of retropie but the OS kernel version. RetroPie-Setup version can be found by launching "RetroPie-Setup" from Emulation Station.

I would need to see your /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/es_input.cfg file to check mappings.

On my keyboard and controllers shoulder buttons work fine for page up/down in ES, so not sure why it's not working.

@BuZz said in Page Up/Down with Logitech K400?:

/opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/es_input.cfg

These are my configs for both of my keyboard devices, when each device is the only device that has been configured after deleting es_input.cfg and rebooting. Both devices are having the problem.

THIS IS MY es_input.cfg FOR THE K400(R):

@rrdein btw please wrap configs/logs in code blocks or use external pastebin site as mentioned on https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first

markdown info - http://commonmark.org/help/

Did you manually create that config ? Doesn't look like one generated by RetroPie.

BuZz

You should not delete es_input.cfg btw - you will break the autoconfiguration system. The config can be reset via retropie-setup / configuration / emulationstation.

rrdein

I have not manually created any input config files. Any such configuration files were created using some controller configuration dialog.

BuZz

@rrdein the es_input.cfg you posted misses the auto configuration hook that is included by default and also has the wrong mappings - it looks like an es_temporaryinput.cfg not an es_input.cfg which would be different.

If that is indeeed your es_input.cfg it can't have been generated by our auto configuration script and must have been done manually somehow.

@BuZz

Could the problem simply be that I deleted es_input.cfg to reset the input config? I have personally never edited that file manually for any reason, and the configuration files I gave you were generated by deleting es_input.cfg, rebooting, and performing autoconfiguration with the relevant device. I went through that specific process to be sure I was giving you the correct information about each device (though if I somehow broke the entire autoconfig process by deleting that one file then I don't really know).

BuZz

@rrdein removing es_input.cfg will break auto configuration. You can reset it via RetroPie-setup / configuration / emulation station.

rrdein

Somehow this has fixed itself. There are changes occuring to my system automatically, and I'm not really sure why, but you can close this issue.
