PnCConf USB Jogging Problem

I am currently running a cnc machine with version 2.8.4 with no issues. I am currently building another machine and I wanted to use the new 2.9.2 but I had a problem.

When I was trying to implement Logitech GamePad F710 in External Controls windows under USB Jogging tab, PnCConf did not show the list of items to probe, list was totally empty. When I tried to close the page, it froze and needed a restart.

After few tries I decided to install 2.8.4 and It works no problem. There might be a problem with the new version or may be with my specific scenario, I just wanted to share this incident.

I attached a file with the item list working.

It was the latest ISO of 2.9.2..

Bump.

Any solutions to this? 
I have done the add device rule a bunch of times and the wireless controller was detected, but only once the "test device" window got populated with the pins and was responding to the buttons on my controller. Rest of the times I couldn't get it to populate and remained totally blank. Also there is the problem of the Pncconfwiz freezing up and needs restart.

Update: 
I was finally able to go around the issue I was facing. Since the halmeter was showing up blank, one can go into the terminal and type :

halrun
loadusr -W hal_input -KRAL Gamepad ((( Gamepad is the unique code that my controller has, others might be different )))
loadusr halmeter

The halmeter shows up and gives the input pin status.
