      RPI: 3b
      RetroPie: 4.1

      Everything runs smoothly with one Sony PS3 controller. I am also able to hook up my generic PS3 controller via USB and use it (although the rumble packs won't stop rumbling, and the 1&3 lights are both lit up on the back). However, if I try to connect both my official Sony controller and the knock off (via bluetooth) the knockoff won't connect.

      Is there any way to install both "flavors" of controller at the same time? Trying to do so under Manage Packages > Manager Driver Packages seems only allow one variety at a time. In the alternative, is there something else I can do to get both running over bluetooth at the same time? It would also be nice to stop the rumbling.

      Thank you for your help!
