      ive been having a problem lately i have 2 controllers an nes controller and an snes controller wired i know each one have there own configs saved into retropie but the 2 controller have the same name ''usbgamepad'' and i have discoverd that because there are the same name the retro pie mistakes one for another by combining them together and because of the its annoying to switch controller settings every time i switch controller and ive been trying to change there name from ssh from usb gamepad (the original name of the 2 controllers) to what ever i want but it dosent recognize the name and lose config i would be thankfull for somebody to answer me

        I think the controller names are hard coded into the controllers themselves. Unfortually all of retropie uses those names to identify controllers. There isn’t much you can do to change that.
