All buttons map correctly but trying to do Down+Select for Menu automatically sets "OK" to the same key combo. Haven't been able to get it to map to that button combo, with Fast Polling on or off (doesn't matter).

Is there a way to manually edit the input map file? Brought it into Notepad++ but didn't find an encoding setting to read it.

2) Map various individual buttons, no problem
3) Try to map <DOWN> + <SELECT> combo to MENU

On some controllers it is very difficult to map the combo -> the UI is way too sensitive and it appears to map one controller key to MENU and immediately maps the other key to MENU OK.

Example controller where I had the problem (one or two other controllers same issue):
NES wired controller (from NES Classic mini) w/8BitDo Bluetooth mod + 8BitDo "orange brick" Bluetooth adapter

For this controller mentioned, I had to retry the mapping process 5-7 times before I was successful.

Is this an issue MiSTer would need to resolve in the UI? To make it more tolerant of combo inputs which arrive maybe not perfectly in sync?

Note: my fast USB polling is ENABLED, not sure if relevant.

Yeah, that's what I ended up doing ... the only issue is remembering that I mapped it to those buttons, as I use down+select to bring up menus pretty much everywhere else. Oh well.

The SNES Switch controller feels a bit laggy with the 8bitdo adapter anyway, and I have just gone with using it wired instead.

Thanks, yep, I'd already tried that. The Switch SNES Controller just doesn't work super great on MiSTer, even in wired mode it feels a bit off.

I'm running into a similar, but different, problem trying to map a custom built arcade controller.

I'm also using "Define joystick buttons" in main menu. I'm using DaemonBite-Arcade-Encoder.

I can define most of the buttons no problem but when it reaches certain buttons (like the mouse or menu buttons) it seems to be registering one button press many times. It's quickly defining a number of inputs to one button even though I just pressed the button once. I'm pretty sure it's not my controller because I've tried various combos and all my buttons work if they are defined to d-pad or regular button inputs.

I do not have USB polling enabled.

Any ideas? I'd also be fine with manually editing the .MAP files but I'm couldn't find any info about that, either.

I'm still having this problem and unable to define my custom DaemonBite controller. I captured some video footage showing the issue: https://youtu.be/oMiaPx_cQzg

Specifically look at time-codes 0:28, 0:44 and 1:20 to see where its quickly skipping over some inputs. It defines them all to the last button pressed.

That did the trick! Thank you. Do you suggest tweaking the DEBOUNCE_TIME or leaving it at the 10ms default?

Oops late reply. If you don't have problems then you can leave it at the default. It should be increased if you still get multiple button presses. It doesn't add lag anyway and 10ms allows for 100 presses per second which is humanly impossible.
