second identical controller issues #secondcontroller #USBProblem

[w-wallace]

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..
