8bitdo pro 2 Home button

[Stevie Mac]

Hi guys I have an 8bitdo pro 2 but for some reason in Launchbox it doesn't read the home button very well. The button reads when tested in the 8bitdo pro Ultimate software quickly with no problems.
When I try to set it as my LB Pause button under control mappings when I push the home button it doesn't read it quickly I have to push it, hold it, push it again then sometimes it works & says it's button 11 nothing else just button 11.
When it does take & I try to use it when playing a game if I press the home button it doesn't work then I hit it again and again then multiple times then it might come up. So it does work but it seems to not read it as quickly as something like an X button etc.
It does this on all Emulators I've set up so far eg Retroarch, Pcsx2, Duckstation etc. 
The pause menu works fine when up & exits out ok.

Am I missing something?
Thanks

Hi, I have the same problem but it is not LaunchBox, it is 8bitdo pro2 latest firmware version, it happens since version 3.00. It works on the Ultimate Software because it is wired. If you want get rid of this issue install firmware 2.01

Ok i down graded the firm ware but then the pad wouldn't send a Bluetooth signal out for the pc or any device to pick up so then I had to re install the newest firmware for it to work again.
So no luck sadly.
I think it's either not LB not picking up the button well or there's a conflict with it in LB as I think it's like the XBox home button.
I changed the Pause key to be R3 & tested it in Retroarch & it worked ok.  If I push the *bitdo home button the Retroarch quick menu comes up.  So I think in Retroarch this button needs to be reassigned or you have to say to not use it in Retroarch.
I guess I'll have to play around or just stick with R3.
