I have been playing around with RetroPie and would like to be able to use my NVIDIA controller with it for emulators, since I already own one for my PC and I have gotten comfortable with the controls.
When I plug it into the Pi via USB and boot up RetroPie, only the "Back" and "Home" buttons on the controller are recognized. Is there a way to let RetroPie recognize all of the controls on this controller? I would like to not have to buy another controller just for using RetroPie.
I am using a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B with RetroPie v4.2.
EDIT (2017-05-29): I have executed the lsusb command with the controller plugged in and (I think) the output shows the controller next to Bus 001 Device 004::
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 046d:c52b Logitech, Inc. Unifying Receiver
Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0955:7210 NVidia Corp.

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
EDIT 2 (2017-05-29): I have used the jstest /dev/input/js0 command with the controller plugged in and I have mapped the controller buttons to the following IDs:
EDIT 3 (2017-05-29): I used evtest /dev/input/event0 with the controller plugged in and received this output:
