              @track75 possible insufficient power supply, janky adapter or hub? You didn't specify any details or the type of gamepad so hard to advise.

                @herb_fargus my power supply is 5v2Amax,im using a generic classic usb game pad, I'm thinking maybe the usb hub going to try to get a new one and see if that fixes things.

                  @track75 I had issues with my USB hub where it wouldn't even boot until I unplugged it (guess I get what I paid for...Was like $5)

                          @track75 if you have an otg cable try that just with one device first. also is it a usb 3.0 or 2.0? my 3.0 never worked.
