      I have a problem during initial setup where I start pressing the controller buttons (which work) then when I run out, it won't take any of the keyboard buttons I press. The only button that works is F4 which exits me to a command prompt at which point the whole keyboard works. HAs anyone run into this?

        when I run out

        What does this mean ? If you want to skip a button assignment, just long press one of the buttons you already mapped and it will skip it.

          @mitu When I have already assigned all the buttons that are on the gamepad. Once I come to an assignment for a button that doesn't exist on the gamepad, I am trying to hit a button on my keyboard, but it doesn't take it. The only button that I can press is F4 which takes me to the command prompt. I can never complete the setup. Thanks in advance

            @tdrev872 Then just follow the advice in my previous post - and the message on the configuration screen - to skip the button that you don't have on the gamepad.

              @mitu That worked! But only with the start button, not with the A or B buttons. Thanks!

                Maybe we should make the text larger and RED.
