      Pi Model or other hardware: 4B
      Power Supply used: 3A USB-C
      RetroPie Version Used (eg 3.6, 3.8.1, 4.1 - do not write latest):
      Built From: Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website
      USB Devices connected: keyboard, ipac, controller, trackball
      Controller used: keyboard, ipac, ps3 controller

      I downloaded Steam Link from exp packages, installed and played some RPCS3 games installed on my PC from Steam using the PS3 USB connected controller on the pi no problem. I am trying to see if it is possible to have my ipac keyboard recognized as a controller in the Steam app and then remap the arcade buttons and joystick instead of using the PS3 controller. The only controller that shows up in the Steam Link is the PS3 even though both the ipac and a keyboard are attached to the pi via USB. Is there a setting somewhere that enables the keyboard to show up and remap?

        I figured it out - key is to map the controls in the native emulator (in this case RPCS3) using a keyboard. Then, when playing on the pi via the Steam Link, everything worked great. What a fantastic addition!
