If enabling this option, only the first controller detected during startup will send its input to ES-DE (the keyboard input is unaffected by this setting and will be enabled regardless). This is a good way to limit potential chaos with multiple persons fighting over which games to play. Note that disconnecting and reconnecting controllers while ES-DE is running may change what is considered the first controller. This setting does not affect the emulators in any way, it's only applied to ES-DE. Another issue is that some wireless controllers have buggy drivers and will register as two devices, meaning all button presses will be registered twice inside ES-DE. Using this option is one solution to the problem, although it's also possible to blacklist the extra controller entry, as described [here](INSTALL-DEV.md#adding-custom-controller-profiles).
**Swap A/B and X/Y buttons**
When enabling this setting the functions for the A/B and X/Y buttons will be swapped and the helpsystem will be updated accordingly. The primary purpose of this setting is for using controllers like Nintendo Switch Pro and some handhelds which have swapped the physical positions of these buttons. With this setting enabled you'll be able to rely on your muscle memory from using any other controller type with a normal button layout. Note that the button swap does not apply to the keyboard which leads to a slight inconsistency as the helpsystem will only match the controller and not the keyboard.
**Ignore keyboard input**
If this setting is enabled then all keyboard input will be ignored, except the quit shortcut used to shut down the application. The main reason for ignoring keyboard input is if running Steam in parallel to ES-DE and you need to use the Steam Input's _Desktop Layout_ functionality to send keyboard input using the controller. In this case double or conflicting input will be sent to ES-DE as both the controller and keyboard events are read by the application. It's however generally a better idea to disable this functionality altogether in Steam and leave the ES-DE setting untouched. If you accidentally enable this setting when using a keyboard as input device, then you'll either need to plug in a controller to disable it again, or you'll need to modify the _InputIgnoreKeyboard_ entry in the ~/ES-DE/settings/es_settings.xml configuration file.
