      PI 4B 8GB
      5.1V 3A PSU
      128 GB USB SSD (Booting from usb device)
      2 sets of arcade joystick and LED buttons

      In one of my games, I noticed that one of the buttons now doesn't seem to work anymore. I got the following by sshing using jstest /dev/input/js0

      Does anyone know what I can do to fix my arcade controls if button 2 keeps showing up as on? The LED light on the button works, but for some reason it's not sending any input to the PI.

        If testing with jstest doesn't yield an response, then it's a hardware issue. Check the wiring/button and see if they're properly connected.

          @mitu tried changing out the wires and that didn't work, so I guess I'll have to get a replacment button
