I would like to report a bug in the RPCS3 program. I use an officially-licensed PowerA Wired USB Nintendo Switch controller and use the SDL which can utilize any third-party controller as the description says. i correctly inputted the buttons as prompt. The wires have no physical damage, my computer's drivers are up-to-date, and it works perfectly fine with other emulators. However, when I was testing Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix, the controller works fine for the launcher screen and the 358 days menu. However, the emulator keeps disconnecting my controller even though it is connected and set up properly. The same thing happens with KH2.5 Remix. I also installed the Microsoft Visual Studio program and made sure there were no issues. i do not know what to do at this point. I tried looking up for answers online and on Reddit but I do not anyone has posted something like this before. Can you please take a look and see if there needs to be fixed or not? Please and thank you!

This seems to be an ongoing issue with SDL controllers. SDL seems to drop after selecting a game from a multigame menu. I have found a work around specifically for MGS HD collection and a Bluetooth Stadia controller but I think it might work for you if switch "turn off/on controller" with "unplug/plug in controller". From my post: "have the controller turned off when you run RPCS3. Go to Pads and set your keyboard as your controller, and check the bindings so that you can d-pad in game. Run the game you want to play (For game collections like HD Metal Gear use the keyboard to select the game you want to play in the collection). Once you hit the game main menu of the specific game you want to play, you can turn on the Stadia controller, and then go to Pads again and switch your controller back to SDL (I haven't had any issues with it not detecting my controller at this point). it should be good for that play session after all that. " 
It's annoying cause SDL just worked for like half of last year and then an update broke it in this specific way.
