@jozzy1 Not specific to Retropie, but with owning a number of these controllers, I believe it has to do with the way the newer 4.14 kernel polls/received and processes ID data from the G3W which is a multimode controller. You can switch modes by holding the blue “home”button for 5-10 seconds. You will see the controller disconnect as “Xbox 360....” and reconnect with a gamesir ID. Then you can set the bindings for the controller config if not there already.
