      Hi

      I am trying to get the controller working with Retropie on a Raspi4
      Everything works, except the "select" button, and the button between the 2 knobs (marked with a "o")

      Is there a fix for that

      thx a lot

        Hello
        I have the same issue with SteelSeries Stratus XL

        evtest shows me

        /dev/input/event3:	SteelSeries Stratus XL Keyboard
        /dev/input/event4:	SteelSeries Stratus XL Mouse
        /dev/input/event5:	SteelSeries Stratus XL
        /dev/input/event6:	SteelSeries Stratus XL
        

        KEY_BACK and KEY_HOMEPAGE available in
        dev/input/event3: SteelSeries Stratus XL Keyboard

        All other buttons are available in
        /dev/input/event5: SteelSeries Stratus XL

        Is there a fix for that?

          No, there is not fix since the gamepad has it's own (Windows) drivers and it's reporting the Select/Guide buttons as keyboard keys.
          You may try to re-map the keys to buttons with xboxdrv, similar to how it's explained here. xboxdrv is installable from RetroPie-Setup's drivers section and can be configured to remap your gampad - see https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Universal-Controller-Calibration-%26-Mapping-Using-xboxdrv/.

          Or you could get a compatible gamepad which doesn't need proprietary drivers to function.

            I did some analysis between kernel versions ...

            Linux <hostname> 4.15.0-213-generic #224-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jun 19 13:30:12 UTC 2023 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
            

            and

            Linux <hostname> 5.4.0-167-generic #184-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 31 09:21:49 UTC 2023 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
            

            In kernel version 5.4.0 evtest shows 4 events

            /dev/input/event0:	SteelSeries Stratus XL Keyboard
            /dev/input/event1:	SteelSeries Stratus XL Mouse
            /dev/input/event2:	SteelSeries Stratus XL
            /dev/input/event3:	SteelSeries Stratus XL
            

            in kernel version 4.15.0 evtest shows only 1 event!

            /dev/input/event0:	SteelSeries Stratus XL
            

            Theres is a difference in source of hid-generic.c.

            I made my own kernel module hid-stratusxl.c
            After compiling it and loading it, only one event device will be shown in retropie.

            All buttons can be setup in emulationstation successfully!
