      Rasberry Pi 4 2GB
      Latest version of RetroPie
      I am certain my power supply is good
      This is the controller https://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Controller-Gamepad-Joystick-Nintendo/dp/B07VC5GH71/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=switch+pro+controller&qid=1590780275&sr=8-4

      I've read the pinned threads and searched for similar topics that have been asked. None of the solutions suggested in previous posts worked. I have a Switch Pro Controller I have been trying to connect to RetroPie over bluetooth. I can connect the controller to the Pi and through the RetroPie setup script.

      However, when I try to configure the controller when first booting up emulationstation it says there is a gamepad detected but none of the buttons work.

      When I run jstest on the device all of the buttons are off.

      Interestingly when the controller connects to my PC or through bluetooth its labeled as a "Pro Controller" but when I connect the controller wired to Steam it is recognized as a "Xbox 360 Controller"
