      @elchhome so it's paired, sends joypad events. If there are also mouse events sticked to it, it won't be recognized as a joypad but as a mouse. Need a udev rule. We need you to run /recalbox/scripts/recalbox-support.sh with your pad paired and upload the file somewhere. With this, we will know if your pad is seen as a mouse/keyboard or pad, and make what's necessary to have it recognised as a pad

          Did you download the file and do you already have an idea how to fix that?

                  @elchhome try those commands through SSH :

                  mount -o remount, rw /
                  echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{name}=="Mad Catz C.T.R.L.R", MODE="0666", ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}="1"' >> /etc/udev/rules.d/99-joysticks-exotics.rules
                  reboot && logout
                  

                  Your pad is, as I expected, considered as a mouse/keyboard. Those commands above will force the joystick bit, and it should then work. Can you confirm ? If yes, we'll add your pad to 4.1 so that it's automatically detected as a pad

                    Thanks a lot! This change makes the controller available to the system.
                    Good work! 🙂

                      @acris a reminder for you to include the udev rule in 4.1

                            Hi all,

                            I just got a raspberry pi3, installed recalbox 4.0 on it and tried to set up my gamepads.

                            No trouble with 8bitDo NES pro, nor with an USB generic gamepad.

                            I tried to set up my Mad Catz C.T.R.L.R with this topic's solution.

                            Adding a line in the joystick rule file didn't work at first because of device name.
                            Indeed, the sdptool command on the MAC address told me the device's name is not "Mad Catz C.T.R.L.R", but "HID Gamepad".

                            The CTRLR switch is set on the gamepad.

                            Regars,

                            Denis
