Controller Hotkeys not working with different controller

[juxtaposed11]

Hello!

When I first built my RetroPie, I used a generic USB SNES controller and was able to get the hotkey functionality to work. When I switched to a new controller, I was able to get all of the button inputs to work successfully, but I can’t get the hotkeys to work properly. See below for an excerpt from my retroarch.cfg file (taken from /opt/retropie/configs/all).

I verify that all buttons work, specifically start and select, but I’m not having any luck.

Questions:
1. Do you think I should create a brand new config file and start from scratch?
2. If so, how can I do that? I’m happy to check out other links.
3. Is there any other config file that I could update?
4. Do you notice any issues with the configs below?
5. Any other suggestions?

input_player2_r_x_minus_btn = “4”
input_player2_r_y_plus_btn = “4”
input_player2_r_y_minus_btn = “4”

input_enable_hotkey_btn = 6
input_exit_emulator_btn = 7
input_save_state_btn = 4
input_load_state_btn = 5

Note: Player 2 controller is the exact same controller model.

Specs:

Version: RetroPie 2.3
Controller:

Note: I’ve tried including and removing quotes on the hotkeys, to no avail. The controller I’m using is the Buffalo Classic USB Gamepad .

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Ignore this post, sorry about that. After more thorough investigation, I believe this is a problem with one of my controllers.
