      Hello Guys,

      I'm writing you as I've found a very strange issue with my latest installation of retropie on raspberry 4.

      Basically I wanted to upgrade the storage, and I've bought a 128 GB microSDXC, listed as compatible on the forum.
      I've performed a clean installation today, from the latest distro (4.6) and the issue consist in the malfunction of the keyboard, that prevents every other input source from working, e.g. I plug the keyboard and the joystick stops working (the keyboard doesn't work either, even the keyboard alone doesn't work).

      The strange fact is that I've already tested the same hardware as working on the previous installation (less than 2 weeks old) on a 32 GB microsd, but now it doesn't work either even on the old installation.
      The keyboard itself works just fine on a standard computer, same for the joystick.

      Here's some details:

      Pi Model: 4
      Power Supply used: 5.1V 3A from Bqeel kit
      RetroPie Version Used: 4.6 (lasted upon 16/10/20)
      Built From: Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website, Flashed with Etcher on Mac OSX
      USB Devices connected: Joystick Xbox One (wired), Standard QWERTY wired
      Controller used: Xbox One (wired)
      How to replicate the problem: Flashing a new installation of the system, simply connecting the keyboard you get the issue. Keyboard is not working.

      I'm also using GeeekPi Argon One case if that's an hint.

      Thanks in advance for the support,

        EDIT:

        I've tested the bare raspberry pi 4 without the case, and the issue is the same.

        Thanks

          @oofiskoo Did you come up with a solution to this? I appear to be having the same issue.
