      Hey guys, so i bought 2 sets of buttons and arcade joysticks.
      Both joysticks doesnt seem to work properly since the only directions they recognize are Top and Top/Right.
      I tested it with a windows "setup usb game controllers" and also with my retropie. When I tried to setup the game control only the two directions worked.
      So what do you guys think, are they damaged or is it something like a configuration problem or so?

          Does it look like one of these?

          If it does, you may have connected the connector from the usb board to the joystick the wrong way around. I have 5 of these and I managed to get it wrong on 2 of the joysticks. In both cases, the result appeared similar to what you've described. Turn the connector (the end attached to the joystick) around and see what happens. That fixed it for me anyway.
