          @track75 possible insufficient power supply, janky adapter or hub? You didn't specify any details or the type of gamepad so hard to advise.

            @herb_fargus my power supply is 5v2Amax,im using a generic classic usb game pad, I'm thinking maybe the usb hub going to try to get a new one and see if that fixes things.

              @track75 I had issues with my USB hub where it wouldn't even boot until I unplugged it (guess I get what I paid for...Was like $5)

                @herb_fargus yes my hub was cheap ill get a better one and let you know how it works. My power supply should be fine though right.

                  @track75 yeah for a pi 0 i imagine 2A is more than sufficient

                      @track75 if you have an otg cable try that just with one device first. also is it a usb 3.0 or 2.0? my 3.0 never worked.
