== Symptoms ==
An example is when you're mapping a [[HOW-TO:PlayStation 4 controller|PS4 controller]]:
 
<gallery widths=360px heights=180px>
File:Mapping a trigger.jpg|First, Kodi prompts you to press Left Trigger
File:Trigger was skipped 2.jpg|Pressing Left Trigger causes Right Trigger to be skipped
</gallery>
 
Other examples include skipping immediately after the prompt is started, or skipping when the controller is moved.
 
 
== Causes ==
You're holding it wrong.
 
 
== Real causes ==
The real cause is usually a bug in the driver. Joystick drivers sucks. If the driver sucks hard enough, it will send erratic input and cause buttons to be skipped.
 
Fortunately, Kodi has a utility to detect this erratic input.
