PS3 controller detected as keyboard.

[jaykumar_2001]

For some strange reason, PS3 dual shock controller is being detected as Keyboard in Emulationstation. Key mapping are messed up in Retroarch as well, with two keys mapped to one button.

sixad detects and connect to controller successfully,

You are missing the part of the es_input.cfg that triggers the retroarch configuration - you should remove it and re-install Emulation Station from RetroPie-Setup menu 5 and reconfigure

Not sure what version you are running though - so more information might be helpful. You should also try a RetroPie image to compare vs OSMC in case it's an OSMC related issue. retrosmc has it's own support thread here https://discourse.osmc.tv/t/howto-retrosmc-retrogaming-on-osmc/6671
