If the controller is working on other machines, it may be a compatibility issue with the Pi. Make sure the controller is working on other devices. The cable needs be completely inserted into the port, but shouldn't require excessive force. If RetroPie isn't recognizing the controller, verify there are no obvious hardware issues causing the disconnect. The custom controller profiles are saved in the following file path: /opt/retropie/configs/ RetroPie doesn't recognize the controller If the file isn't saving, you will need to make sure both the SD card and destination folders are writable. Verify you have taken the proper steps to save the custom controller configuration. If the controller is only slow when using the Pi, you may need to restart the device and configure it once again. Try testing the controller on another device or computer to isolate the problem. However, it can happen with wired ones as well. This issue is common with wireless controllers. These are some of the most common issues facing RetroPie users with controllers.
As always, if something isn't working right we've got you covered.
