Can't select input device from drop down menu - wightwhale - 11-22-2014

I go into the GCPad config and i see three options ie keyboard xbox controller 1 and xbox controller 2. When I try and click any of them they just disappear from the device field and it's left blank.
Is there any way around this issue?
Thanks for the help.

Upgrade to the latest dev build from here: https://dolphin-emu.org/download/

I updated to build 4.0-4252 and now I'm able to select dInput0 / keyboard but my options for xbox controller 1 and xbox controller 2 have disappeared.

Are they showing up as a device in Windows?

Yes they both show up under microsoft common controller for windows class and work with other games.

Grab the latest build, see if its still there, since I can't replicate the problem.

I tried again on build 4.0-4277 and they're still missing. Maybe it has something to do with being plugged into a usb hub.

Possible? try it out.
If not, Google search DirectX web installer, and then download and run, as it may contain a dependency for XInput devices.

I have them show up in dxdiag as controllers and my directX is up to date. The same issue persists when plugging in directly to the computer as it does when I plug it into the usb hub.

That's super weird.
Can you post a picture of your GCpad panel?
