Logitech F310 USB controller - advice wanted

[Baccus]

Hello,
After some reading in the forum about the controllers compatible with Recalbox I purchased the Logitech F310.
Recalbox recognizes it but I can’t figure out how to set the various gamepad buttons.
The leaflet attached to the gamepad is not helpful in this regard.
Advice on this is accepted.
Recalbox 8.0.2 - Electron Raspberry Pi 3 b+
Thank you in advance.

I've got a Logitch F310 Pad myself and it works fine with Recalbox 6 on my Raspberry Pi3 B+.

Turn of Recalbox and the Raspberry Pi
Disconnect your Pad from the Pi
Look at the Bottom of the Pad.
There's a Switch - Set it to "X"
Connect your Pad to the Pi and turn it on
Recalbox now should recognizes the Pad and ask to configure it.

You can also configure your Gamepad in the Main Menu of Recalbox, just go to "Controller Configuration"

it's described how to configure your joypad

Dearest, I followed your suggestions but I found these problems:

1. the select key is not there and the hotkey how does it match?
2. How do I assign the back key?
3. there is no match between the A, B, X, Y keys of the gamepad and the same keys in the list.
   I tried to set up the gamepad three times but couldn’t.
   So, how do I fix it?

1. The "Select" Button is the "Back" Button on the Joypad
2. The "Hotkey" is the big Button with the "Logitech" Logo in the middle of the Joypad
   (Yes, that's a Button !)
3. Ignore the Letters on the Joypad
   The "A" Button in Recalbox is the "B" Button on the Joypad
   The "B" Button in Recalbox is the "A" Button on the Joypad
   The "X" Button in Recalbox is the "Y" Button on the Joypad
   The "Y" Button in Recalbox is the "X" Button on the Joypad

You can see it here:

Look where the "dark Point" is in the small Picture on the left beside the Letters A, B, X, Y.

Buttons Start, L1, L2, R1 and R2 are the same as on the Joypad
For Button L3 you have to press (NOT PULL DOWN) on the left analog Stick, for R3 on the right analog Stick.
If you're not sure how it works try it bevor you start the Configuration

On the Back of the Joypad set the Switch to "X"

To avoid further Confusion with the Joypad-Buttons in the Main Menu of Recalbox got to
UI Setting -> Theme Configuration -> Theme Iconset and set it to "XBOX"
Now the Letters on the Joypad will match the Letters of the Buttons you use in the Menu of Recalbox (on the Bottom of the Screen)

This setting works fine for me since Years on my Raspberry Pi 3B+ with Recalbox 6 and any game on any System.

If you playing Games from a System which uses another Button-Layout (for example the Sega Genesis, which uses a 3-Button Pad

with the F310 Controller, you start the Game and simply push the Buttons to figure out which Button is A, which is B and which is C.
The same goes for other Systems like Nintendo.
