      Mainly the Retropie -> Bluetooth menu.. I'd like to be able to select "Register and connect" with my joystick and buttons.

        This is normally possible by default. What is your current setup? Please fill out all the required info at https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/3/read-this-first.

          Ah you are correct.. it does work with my joystick encoder (ZD) but I have my keyboard encoder mapped to other buttons besides enter, space, etc... so that one doesn't work. I guess Joy2Key handles it for joystick encoders but there's no key2key to handle the keyboard encoder.

            That'll do it. I run into this using xboxdrv's key-mapping functions. I just keep a mini keyboard handy where I can grab it for quick maintenance purposes.
