exec emulationstation --debug

I'm stumped. I've tried 3 different controllers. All of them work in evtest. For some reason, I have to add a udev rule for every controller I plugin for emulationstation to recognize it (see below).

Here's what I physically see:
Screenshot 2024-06-06 at 11 20 31 AM

It's worth mentioning that I added this udev rule which allowed retropie to even detect the controller in the first place:

sudo cat /etc/udev/rules.d/99-nintendo-switch-controller.rules
ATTRS{idVendor}=="0e6f", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0184", MODE="0666", ENV{ID_INPUT_JOYSTICK}="1"

emulationstation is running as a user called retropie which is a sudoer and is a member of these groups

groups
retropie tty sudo video input

It doesn't seem like a permission issue because I see no error output in the emulationstation --debug
