      Hi there,

      I got a problem.. i got 2 identical SNES INNEXT controller.

      I got a Pie 3B+ and the latest retropie version installed 2 day before.

      now the problem:
      The first controller works without any problems and it doenst matter which one i use.
      And it also doesnt matter which of the four USB-Ports i use.
      The second controller isnt working really reliable.

      Sometimes it works sometimes not.. sometimes i got to switch the USB Port ..
      but i alway have to config the second controller via the emulationstation input setup.

      Its like the system doenst save the configuration.

      I followed some instructions belonging the retroarch second controller setup,
      but there are some problems, because i can choose the controller and everything.
      The problem there is.. if i wanna assign f. e. button A .. i press it .. the 3 second infobox dissapears but in the assignment line there was shown N/A

      in generally i think there is a problem with USB and the probably identically controller.

      I hope you know what i mean and can help me..

      this is not a big issue because if i use anothers USB ports everytime i start up the pi, i can configure the second controller an play.. but in terms of comfort and realiability .. thats not really nice.

      please help me, if there is any suggestion i can follow

        actually i think there is a hardware problem with the controller.
        as i booted retropie right now.. no controller was found. unless i plug in the other controller.

        so i probably think there is a hardware issue with the one controller..
