      Hi,

      Despite installing the Steam Controller package, ES will not recognize my Steam controller, either wired or wireless. The controller connects to the dongle when wireless, ES doesn't see it. When wired, it sees it as a keyboard.

      Pi Model or other hardware: (3B
      Power Supply used: CanaKit Power Supply
      RetroPie Version Used (eg 3.6, 3.8.1, 4.1 - do not write latest): 4.3.13
      Built From: Pre-Made SD image
      USB Devices connected: USB Keyboard, Steam Controller dongle
      Controller used: Steam Controller
      Error messages received: None

        @rjotter Generally folks here don't like to help those who are using a pre-made SD image as the best source of help tends to the person who setup that image because who knows what they did with all the configs and setup.

        BUT... you may need to look into using the xboxdrv?

        I experimented with it at one point but never got it to solve my input issues. Turns out there were simpler issues at hand.
