I searched and didn't see this anywhere else (my apologies in advance if I missed it).
Has anyone tested a PS3 controller with a TF701t yet? I have a TF101 and TF201 and with those, I could use the dock to sync up the controller (if unrooted) or Sixaxis when rooted (I went back and forth). I read in the TF700t forum that there were some major issues getting the PS3 controller to work on some of the newer firmware versions. I'd prefer to wait a few months to root and I'm willing to buy the new dock, but probably 1/2 of the reason for me to purchase the dock is to pair it with a PS3. I got much less use out of the dock with my older two tablets than I had expected.
Thanks.
Works GREAT with Dead trigger 2, with it connected to the keyboard of course.
Before 4.2.1 (I think), you used to be able to enable bluetooth, pair it, and then you could disconnect the cable and the dock altogether and as long as you didn't use the PS3 controller on a PS3 or other device, it would stay paired to the Transformer indefinitely. This didn't require root or any added applications, it worked native. Have you tried that? If you've never done it, check out some of the links for a Transformer Prime or similar.
By the way, I did order the dock this afternoon anyway, but I'd really like to know if they fixed this issue as I much prefer the PS3 controller to Moga. I am also looking very forward to Dead Trigger 2.
Will PS3 controller work with GTS series?
I'm not exactly sure what GTS series you are referring to. I know that there are a few GT Racing games around (Gameloft has some). You should be able to search by "game AND controller". Also, Nvidia's TegraZone app always lists which games it's featuring have controller support. They are mostly going to promote Tegra enhanced games, but since you have a Tegra 4 device, it's probably not a bad app to check out once in a while.
If you aren't rooted, then pretty much any game with built in controller support will work (there are a fair number of these and more all the time). Under this mode, you are at the mercy of the programmer's implementation. In some games, you can map your buttons, while in others, you will have to live with whatever mapping the dev's created.
If you are rooted, you have more flexibility. You can install the Sixaxis App which allows you to re-map buttons, but it also does a lot more than that. You can take a screenshot of a touch-based game and then pretty quickly create a layout in Sixaxis to activate the onscreen joystick and buttons. It works a lot better than it probably sounds. Most games virtual joysticks emulate an analog stick where movement is faster the further you move from center. The PS3 analog sticks can be mapped very well under most circumstances. Playing GTA3 on my tablet, the dev's gamepad support was decent, so at first I just needed to remap some buttons. There is a sequence where you need to defend someone with a sniper rifle and you don;t have a lot of margin for error. The default controller support was almost unusable in trying to control the sniper rifle. However, I created a custom profile using the GTA3 touch controls and sniping worked beautifully. Hopefully this helps you. Let me know which game you are referring to and I will try to test it for you once my dock arrives (hopefully by Friday).

Sorry, I want to mean GTA. Do GTA VC and GTA III support PS3 controller?
Both games have decent PS3 controller support. I played all of GTA3 on my tablet (a really tremendous gameplay value, based on number of hours). I had only made it about 1/2 way through the game on PC about 11 yrs earlier. I completed Vice City on PC so I haven't played the Android version. For GTA3, the stock control mapping is serviceable, although I used Sixaxis to change some of the buttons. The car and foot controls are pretty good once you spend a bit of time with it and shooting is fine too. However, zoomed in sniper rifles were broken (hopefully this has now been fixed in a patch). I got around it by doing a touch screen map in Sixaxis. If you aren't rooted, then just switch over to touch controls for the small number of places where this is required (it is forced in maybe 2 spots). Then switch back to PS3 controller afterwards. It was kind of an amazing feeling to play such a huge game, for so many hours on a tablet.
One kind of funny anecdote is that I was actually playing GTA3 on my laptop in the hospital room (11 yrs ago now) when my wife was delivering our daughter. This was during the long 10+ hour waiting period before (not during the actual delivery). That was actually the point where I stopped as I got too busy and then moved on to another game. 10 years later, and I finally finished the game on a tablet. Still married.
I don't have a New Infinity TF701, YET, but I have no issues whatsoever using a PS3 controller with my Infinity TF700. Not sure what/where you read that there were problems using a PS3 controller with the Infinity, but I've never had a single issue. I use PS3 controllers with my N7 FHD, Asus Infinity, Note 3, and Evo LTE. I've never had an issue with any of my Android devices. I'm really hoping the New Infinity works fine with a PS3 controller as well. What I like about my Infinity is hooking it up to my 55" TV via mini/micro HDMI, and playing games with my PS3 controller! If the New Infinity can't do that, then that would be a deal breaker for me!

So I know that this thread briefly touched on attaching a gamepad (I don't really care if it's Moga, PS3, xbox or whatever). My question is based on having no dock, and using CROMi-x.
The only input i have would be the power for this operation, and i'm assuming i'll use an otg on that usb cord to hook in my gamepad. Is that correct? Obviously i'd prefer to use BT so i can charge at the same time as I play, though i could forego that. Maybe i'm having a brain fart, but am i'm thinking i probably need a usb adapter huh?
Thanks,
Larry
if you connect to dock works (using usb cable).. stock rom

Ever since the my Incredible days I enjoyed toting a Wii remote on trips for playing NES, Snes and so on. I always envied the EVO for being able to do it with that massive screen. It ony really needed a kickstand and it be the perfect pocket gaming machine. Well ever since I got the ThunderBolt I hoped one day it would be possible. Thanks to Slayer and Cyanogen 7 Mod plus all the other hard working Devs this is now a reality.
Here We Go !
Tools needed
Must be ROOTED !
Wii remote MUST be OEM except the Mini Wii remote. :: Only ones I found to work, no Nyko's:: - Optional, this is not needed to play
Cyanogen 7 Mod :: I run update-cm-7.1.0-RC0.1, why? because CM uses Bluetooth Stack 2.0 unlike stock sense or other roms, Gingerbread Natively does not even run this that I know of.
Find it in this thread :: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049542
Nesoid Lite or Premium, this is LIte link :: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.androidemu.neslite&feature=search_result
Not needed if you don't have Wiimote:: WiiController for bluetooth connection find it here :: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ccpcreations.android.WiiUseAndroid&feature=search_result
ROMS :: FInd it.........Yourself, don't be Lazy or ask me, all of the above items are free. you can afford to find these on your own.
If you don't have a Wiimote you can stop right here and use onscreen controls with Nesoid.
OK onto the fun !
First things first, install everything
1. Turn bluetooth on
2. Go into keyboard settings in menu and enable the Wii IME for the controller
3. Go into a message or email, somewhere you can type, long press and select input method, then select Wii controller.
4. Go to your Wii controller app and select Init and Connect
5. Hit the Sync button on the controller ::located under battery door, red button:: or press buttons 1 and 2 at the same time. all the blue lights on the Wii remote should flash now. The phone should find your Wii remote and set player number 1 light to lit. Press some Wii controller buttons, you should see them register on screen.
6 Ok almost good to go, the settings are remembered from this point on, go into nesoid load a Rom up, hit menu on your phone, go to settings Audio/Video set the Aspect Ratio to 16:9
7.Back out one click and go to Other Settings, Check the check box labeled Use Input Method.
8. Go back another click again, go to Input Settings Uncheck Virtual Keypad check box.
9. Go to keymappings in the same menu tap under Pad 1 your button you want to input then hit the corrisponding button on your Wii remote.
10. Back out till you get to the game you loaded and have fun!
Other Notes ::
When you're done playing you wil have to go into a message and select your keyboard Input method to your Keyboard in order to be able to type again.
This setup can also be used with the Classc retro Wii remote plugged into the Wii controller.
This will also work with Snesoid, Genoid, GBA, N64oid, and PSX Emultators.
PS3 and Xbox 360 controllers CAN'T be used. Why? because I said so.....No in reality, Sony encrypts PS3's bluetooth protocol. So till a Dev releases a new App to decode it you're out of luck. Xbox 360 uses 2.4 GHZ Technology not Bluetooth so nope will not work.
Shout out to Slayer and his Wife along with all the other Devs working on the ThunderBolt. Thank you for all the hard work you do to bring us Cyanogen 7 Mod and making things like this possible.
Credit goes to all the other Devs out there for making apps like WiiController and Nesoid avalible on Android
Only On Android.
Very nice write up. Thank you

I'm pretty sure you can set the Wiimote program to revert back to the default keyboard when you turn off Bluetooth or turn off your Wiimote. I'm probably going to do this at some point this week (or just wait for the "stable" CM7), since this is what I miss most from my OG Droid.
very nice!! I've been wanting to use a wii remote for a while now. thanx for the write up.
Wish I still had my wii now . Possible you have a link on getting a PS3 controller working with CM7? I've been looking all around and just finding all old outdated stuff.

You can't, far as I remember this has been dropped due to the security type Sony uses to encrypt the Bluetooth signal on Ps3 controllers. The protocol only recently was figured out where it can easily be connected on PC. So if even close to possible a dev would still need to develop a app capable of decoding and then recognizing inputs from the Ps3 controller.
before it's asked - Why can't I use a Xbox360 Controller? it does not use Bluetooth, it uses 2.4 GHZ signal.
You're welcome to all those that had success, I know how hard it is to find a detailed guide with setup info. Ths is what i figured out from my own tinkering.
As for Cm7 stable version, Cm7 is very stable, I had alot of issues with the new release but tried the .1 version from Slayer's Twitter and low and behold I had no more bugs and Cm7 runs almost flawless. I say almost cause I have not found any bugs yet but i'm sure there are some.
If Wii controller is able to remember settngs like tha let me know , i'll gladly update the guide.

Yea but the issue was you needed Glove Pie, a compatible bluetooth adapter, the script for Glove Pie. It was more a hassle then anything. Now I heard you can use Xpadder with a one click connect buton.

Is it possible to get a wired 360 ontroller working with the Note 2? I've seen it working properly with other android devices and can get the pad to work with a custom IME app but not working as a proper gamepad.
Any ideas or is it not possible with this phone with stock rom?

It is not recognised as a native gamepad on stock software. You can use it mapped with USB/BT Joystick Centre (using an IME, as you say). I've used one that way with the Note II.
There was a mod on the XDA front page last week about a mod for the Nexus 7 that allows it to be recognised as a native gamepad, that may work with the Note II also (although it was in relation to another device the brief perusal of the thread that I had made it look like it would be widely applicable).
Are there any pads that are recognised without any messing? I've seen people mention the PS3 controller with an app that gives full analog support, maybe I'll have to get one of them instead.
I've seen some drivers for the 360 pad, xpad.ko and something but couldn't get them to work with my Note2.
How many games work with them anyway?

I used the PS3 controller on my OG EVO 4G with the SixAxis.apk and it works great! It is compatible with everything because as far as the phone is concerned it sees it as another keyboard. So you can even navigate your launcher/apps with it once its enabled. You just have to download an app to your PC to change the MAC Address on your PS3 controller (very easy and straight forward and takes all of 10 seconds) and your ready to go.
I didn't know until I saw this thread that a 360 controller could be used as well. Ill have to look into that. I would rather do something that was directly connected for games because even though the PS3 Bluetooth is cool, there is a slight lag with Bluetooth. I would be interested to see if a wired controller fixed that.
I think game controllers in Android is still very much in its infancy. So many game still don't support the things, and I HATE touch screen gaming with a passion.
Once released, the MOGA will be recognized as a native controller. I'm not a T-Mobile customer but I'm sure you could buy one from them without a plan. They are set to release for approx. $50.
New games will already be mapped to this controller, I would assume that software to make this usable with older games is not too far behind.

So does it just map to key presses like the way I can get the 360 controller to work? Or can it also be used analogically? Is that a word? On the Sixaxis Controleller info it says:
Support as a native gamepad in Android 3.1+ devices. Full support for analog sticks and analog triggers
Hmm, I don't think this is going to be as easy as I was expecting
PS3 controllers work as native gamepads, plug them in via USB OTG and they work without any additional software. Number of games they work in is limited however, only games that allow keymapping or that have inbuilt support for gamepads (like Shadowgun for example). If you use the Sixaxis Controller app then you can use PS3 controllers wirelessly, and also emulate touch as well, meaning the number of games that become playable with the PS3 controller increases massively - see here:

The reason I had to use the SixAxis.apk is because my phone only natively supports Gingerbread and so it needs the software. No OTG support.
I thought I was going to be able to use Joystick Center for some emulator goodness but it crashes every time I try to use it
I might have to try out my Wii remote, see if I can have some luck with that instead, although that doesn't have enough buttons for some games.

Strange, USB/BT Joystick Centre works fine for me.
You can use a Wii Classic Controller if you need more buttons for emulators (does require a WiiMote to plug into though, so cumbersome). If you can track one down the Datel Retro Wireless controller is better.
Strange. Wonder why it's not working for me. It works fine when I first run it and detects the controller but when I press back to save the settings the homescreen hangs and if I try going back to Joystick Center it displays a white screen and never does anything. I have to clear the app cache before it'll work again.
Please, I might be a little slow in understanding but just be patient with me. Just a simple question:
Is it possible to use either controller simply by connecting it with a usb without needing to root my phone? If so which one, if not both?

The Xbox 350 controller for Windows works without Root, but requires the paid app USB/BT Joystick Centre.
PS3 controller works without Root and without any additional apps.
Number of games that will work with either controller that way is quite limited though, only emulators, games with native gamepad support (Shadowgun, Riptide, a few others), and games that will allow control button mapping (like Meganoid). With Root you can do a lot more with PS3 controllers because you can use the Sixaxis Controller app to set up touch emulation, which makes many, many more games playable with the controller.
Well I finally got the controller working with joystick Center. I installed he Omega ROM and it's now working. Shame it won't work as a gamepad. My Bluetooth speakerphone isn't working perfectly with the new ROM though :S
Hmm, I tested it too and my xbox 360 wired usb controller works not the right way .....
I have the N2 smart dock station and the xbox 360 wired controller
Also I bought the BT/Joystick center, here the stick works fine but in gta 3 onlz the left stick to move and rotate works fine. no kezs to jump ......
I use wanam 1.5 rom Android 4.1.1 with redpill .10 kernel
I have tested other roms with 4.1.2 but theres the same problem.
Perhaps this is only a key mapping for the controller.
... the smart dock is awsome !
Has anyone been able to get the wireless USB dongle working via. an OTG cable? This is for a wireless 360 controller. I've seen it working on other android devices...
Moga lacks some buttons. Best hassle free controller out there right now is the onlive wireless controller. It like a cross between the ps3 and Xbox controller. Simple Bluetooth pairing. No rooting required. Downside is that it cost 50 dollars. I've bought scuf controllers though so price was OK to me.
Best controller that works out of the box via USB is a genuine Sony PS3 SixAxis controller. If you want to use PS3 controller's wireless capability you'll need to root and buy the SixAxis app which is well worth the few bucks for it.
My XBOX 360 controller works perfectly in conjunction with USB/BT Joystick Centre.
A great app and well worth the money. GTA vice city plays very well and on the Note II.
I haven't played Need for Speed™ Most Wanted yet but I expect it to change the game completely
Can anyone think of any other good uses for the controller on android as the buttons can be mapped to pretty much any keyboard stroke so im sure there some handy uses
I want to create an app to emulate the touch in the screen virtually (like the Sixaxis Controller), but I don't know if this is possible. The OS allows me to do this? Can someone help me? I'm a noob
Well, some days ago I saw videos on YouTube showing the Moga Controller working on a Windows Phone device. So I was imagining that would can be something like the sixaxis controller for Android. I asked myself if something like this would be possible in the Microsoft OS. Would so cool make an app to connect a Xbox One or PS4 Controller on the phone through the USB port or bluetooth, configure the points in the screen where must touch, and play the game. Exactly like the Sixaxis Controller.
I have almost sure that I'm dreaming so much high, but would cool, wouldn't?
Not sure. You can query the object state for things under a pointer and raise their Clicked events, but I don't know a way to simply just simulate a click or gesture. Anybody else have any idea? This kind of thing is actually pretty common for automated testing, but I've never tried doing it on WP. Maybe see if there's some automation classes in WP and perhaps they can do it.
I can almost guarantee you wont be able to click on *other* apps, though. Just the one that is sending the touch events.
How Moga Controller can?

didnt really wanna spend more cash on another pad.
i have 4 xbox one pads and also a microsoft wireless adaptor, a couple of wii pads and 2 x ps3 pads knocking about. ps3 pads have borked batts tho.
something amongst that lot must work?! :crying:
If you really wanna use your Xbox One Controller, you can use an otg-adapter to plug in the wireless-adapter of your controller. If this doesn't work for you, you have to root your device and set up the controller via an extra app. An easier way to play emulator games on your tablet is using your smartphones as bluetooth controller. For this method you don't need to root your phone. Just load the app "BT Controller" via Playstore on your phone and your tablet and follow the instructions to connect them via bluetooth and easiely setup the buttons layout. You can set up 4 smartphones as controller at the same time
Hope i could help you

the tab s2 is rooted.
i have tried it with OTG, wired and using an adaptor.
the tab sees the controller when its wired using the USB/BT joystick centre but thats as far as it goes, no key presses on the pad register.
i havent tried to use my phone as a controller, that kinda defeats the object tho', i may as well just use the tablet screen.
ok,
so it seems Play station pads with OTG function flawlessly.

I can confirm this; I use a Playstation 3 controller via OTG and an adapter regularly. I always start the Sixaxis app whenever I do, but not sure if I need to... I haven't even tried using it with blutooth, but it's an easy way to switch the IME to the controller.
I've been trying use a Bluetooth gamepad, but ever one I've tried (I think three different ones) have given me severe input lag on the order of 4 seconds (so nothing happens for 4 seconds l, but if you hold it long enough, it will stick for another 4 seconds) Anyone else experience this?
I also tried connecting a wired Xbox 360 controller through the USB-C with an adapter, but it only seems to power it; doesn't know what to do.
It could be partially the controllers' fault. I have one of the newer Xbox One controllers with Bluetooth. I haven't tried it yet but will see when I get home.
To support the 360 controller I believe you need a key layout file or something. There's a Magisk module that claims to add it ("1 Controller")
Ok, just tried the Xbox One controller and there was no lag at all. So it's possible, just maybe need to keep trying controllers
I've tried it with two off-brand Bluetooth controllers (the kind you get on Amazon when you search Android controller), and the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con. All had the same symptoms.
Hmm. From a quick Google, the Joy Cons lagging on Android seems to be a common issue, but entirely random depending on device, even ones with good ROMs like the Nexus series. Seems unlucky.
I just picked up an Ipega 9023. No lag and works beautifully. It does help having octopus installed
