I have a raspberry pi zero w but I have 4 snes usb controllers and a zero delay usb encoder not working. I have tried an old 3rd party usb xbox 360 controller works with no issues.

please have a look at what results I am getting on ssh. looks like the snes style controllers is not even being recognized by the pi :S I have updated and upgraded this is a brand new image of retropie 4.3 any help would be appreciated thanks :)

Just tried plugging the controller into the pi directly and it is recognised :S why do the PS4 and Xbox 360 controllers work when plugged into the hub but the snes one doesn't. They are getting 4.5-4.6v when plugged into the hub. When connected directly it gets 4.7v I did solder two USB leads on after one for power one for signal. Plugged the power to the pc and signal to the pi got nothing even though it was getting 5v I'm lost with this. Just don't understand why some controllers work and some don't.
