Description

Description

My Logitech K400+ keyboard is detected by RetroArch for Android, but I can't trigger any menu options and with that, I can't configure the system. The mouse pointer pops up, I can move it using the touchpad, but I can't select any options. When I press a button, the following message appears: Logitech K400 Plus not configured using fallback

Expected behavior

When I click on any option in the menu, the option should be triggered.

Actual behavior

The mouse pointer appears, moves, but there is no response when I click. The arrow keys don't work either.

Steps to reproduce the bug

1.Plug the Keyboard
2. Start RetroArch
3. Move mouse or press keys

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in RetroArch 1.17 on Android 13 with the Logitech K400+ using the listed steps. Start at the Android main menu input path and the “not configured using fallback” message; done means keyboard keys and mouse clicks trigger menu options on the Android TV box.
