      Hi,

      So basically the same as the title. I'm completely new to the raspberry pi and retropie. And even though installing the image was fairly simple, after I start the Pi, the system does not recognize anything. Not even the keyboard. I am only using wired stuff. No wireless peripherals at all. One of the controllers that I have is the Logitech F310. I saw a couple of links mentioning that the issues with that controller were fixed a long time ago. However, I think my problem is about power. No led on any of the controllers. Do I need more power to use the F310? Do I have to buy a USB hub? What about the keyboard. It is just an old Microsoft wired keyboard 400. What is happening? What can I do to troubleshoot this if I can even pass from the first screen?

      Thank you
