When using 2 identical xbox one controllers, both controllers are not being written to es_input.cfg

Hello all,

Is the subject normal behavior?

I figured there would be 2 entries in the es_input.cfg but there is not.

My steps:

Open retrobat
configure controller 1
back out of menu
configure controller 2
back out of menu
quit emulation station from menu

below is my es_input.cfg after doing these steps.

I find it odd that there is only 1 controller and my keyboard.

Both controller work though, both in the emulation station menu and the games I have tried so far (NES and SNES)

Thank you all for your assistance:

Hello,

This is perfectly normal, 2 identical controllers will only appear once in the file.
