Local Multiplayer with Wireless Speedlink Controllers.
I want to play Local Games and bought a second Speedlink Torid Controller. When i Turn on both conrtrollers both of them identify as Controller 1, so if i start a game both controllers controll charakter one and a second one can only be controlled by keyboard and mouse. I thought a Steamlink could Fix the Problem but its the same there. are there any solutions to play two characters with two controllers local instead of one person needs to play with keyboard and mouse?

You should be able to use the two controllers for local co-op. The issue could be related in some manner with the controllers or other configuration but I'm thinking it may have been the game you tried. How do the controllers connect - is it one controller per dongle? Can they also be connected via cable?

You could try the demo for this game and see if each controller controls a single character:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/204360/Castle_Crashers/

If not as expected (and assuming you're on Windows), have both controllers connected, press the Windows key, type joy.cpl and press Enter.
It should list both the controllers, and since they'll most likely be in Xinput mode I expect you'd see Controller (XBOX 360 For Windows). Select one and then click Properties and test out both controllers - the test screen should only react to one of them. Close it and check the Properties for the other device in the list and it should be a similar thing: test screen only reacting to the gamepad which didn't show input in the first test.

As I said. I use two Speedlink torid controllers. They connect via USB receiver which belong to each controller. So If I want to use both controllers I need to plug in two of these USB receivers.

OK. If you would, try the Castle Crashers demo to help see if the issue you had faced was due to the game.
As an alternative to the Windows controller test from my previous post, you could have both controllers connected and go to gamepad-tester.com. Press some buttons and it should show both the controllers and how the inputs are being read. Hopefully it shows each controller operating independently.

Its the same Problem on castel crashers. Because no matter wich game i chose both controllers identify itself as controller one, i can see it on the controller itself. and the gamepad tester also detects only one cotroller.

So both controllers connecting to the same receiver??? (Arghh, I totally missed this when reading the original post - I was already thinking elsewhere...)
It looks like there's a reset button on the back so try this:
unplug the receivers, turn off the controllers, press and hold their reset button for a few seconds.
Then connect one receiver and pair it with a controller. After pairing, unplug receiver and power off controller.
Then do pair process but for other controller & receiver.
Perhaps you'd paired them in such a process the first time round but if not have a go with that and see if the tester reads two devices.

Also have you got the drivers installed?
