I'm looking for a game controller that has wired connection (USB OTG) and has a clip / phone holder. What do you recommend?
There seem to be no wired controller with clip or phone holder. Since Wired Controllers are meant for PC Games. You will have to either buy phone holder clip for wired controller or you can opt for Wireless Game Controllers For your Galaxy S7 Edge, which already have the phone holder.
Any reason why you need a wired controller? I use the Moga Power Pro and it is great. You can plug your phone into it to charge and it has a clip to hold the phone. I have had no issues with BT connection.
Here's the wireless one I bought. Works great and has an awesome price.

Stupid question but has anyone tried a a PS2 controller with an OTG cable?
Also, if I do have to buy a PS3 controller, do I need to buy a seperate cable to plug it into the OTG adaptor?
Tack!

Hey there,
I'm not sure if the ps2 controller will work as all I have in house is deh ps3. I don't see any reason why not tho. Can anyone confirm?
In regards to the cable' as long as you have the micro USB otg adapter, then you can attach a regular USB cable with the mini USB(more rectangular shape looking, or like the one that charges the PS2 remote)) to the otg adapter....

Edit: I found this in another thread....... looks like the PS2 controller will
Work.
In order for a controller to work in games on Anrdoid, the controller should be naively supported from the OS?
Also, the Sixaxis app, is this only required for PS3 controllers over bluetooth? What if I get a wired controller that is said to be supported for the PS3; would this require support via Sixaxis, or Android?
I have some store credit for Walmart, and I noticed these controllers:
Snakebyte Sb00344 PlayStation 3 Wired Controller - Black (PS3)
Snakebyte Sb00344 PlayStation 3 Wired Controller - Black (PS3)
POWER A PS3 Pro Elite Wireless Controller
The first one is a wired PS3 controller. The other two rely on a wireless signal over a USB adapter. Would any of these happen to work naively on Android? I'm not entirely sure how the first controller interacts with the PS3 exactly over USB, but perhaps when plugged into a computer, it would be detected as a normal controller, and work fine? The other two may have less of a chance at working, but idk...
Edit: A PS2 controller through a cheap PSX-to-USB hub from Radioshack back in 2002 seems to work fine mostly, except the right analog stick is mapped wrongly in Dead Trigger (left and right go up and down, up and down goes left and right).
Don't buy the knockoffs

Hey guys, just wanted to ask, my ps3 controller connects via otg, the lights power on, however I cannot play any games with it. I'm not rootedyetbso I can't use wireless connection.
Please check out the sixaxis app for PlayStation controller, endless customizing and I can walk anyone through it if needed

I know I can use six axis for wireless but I don't want that just yet. I'm asking for a wired connection via otg.

I'm looking for a simple gaming controller for the Galaxy Tab 3. Specifically, the GT-P5210. Wired or wireless, I don't care. Using onscreen controls sucks.
Buy USB OTG cable and plugin any USB controller. (PS3 and PS4 controllers work nice).
Hi All,
I've been working through trying to get my pads to work with the Tab S6 today with no luck, this is what i've tried:
Xbox Controller for Windows (own cable) with 2 x adapters (one adaptor powered)
Xbox One Controller with 2 different cables and 2 x adapters (one adaptor powered))
None of the above have worked, i've spoken to Samsung through twitter and they've basically said that the wired xbox controllers are incompatible (apparently there are other controllers out there) and that I should try another brand or use a bluetooth one. Cracking customer service for a "premium" tablet...:good:
So, little heads up for anyone else that might be looking online for guidance, from what I can see, it doesn't work.
Yeah I tried a wired one with no luck. The Bluetooth Xbox controller works perfectly
I found this thread while searching for the same but with PS3 (DS3) controller..
It's really, really annoying... When I connect it to my Galaxy S9+, it works perfectly, but if I connect to my Tab S6 it just barely recognizes maybe one joystick.....
WHY IS THAT?!!!! Same brand, same version of Android, newer device, less support for accessories?!
Just got my Tab S6 about a week ago, and then a USB C to microUSB OTG cable (no adapter needed) two days ago. Was hoping to make this my stream from consoles (PS4 and Xbone), possible primary Stadia stream as well as a semi-work device (I take a lot of notes, paperless is better!) in addition to emulation, reading books and watching shows/movies. I have a series one Xbox Elite controller (no Bluetooth) and wow, what a let down. Plugged the controller in, it vibrates and then... Nothing. Since it's a series one my only hope was a wired setup. Like OP I have contacted Samsung and their response was it was a feature that was removed (acknowledging that it works on other Samsung products) and still could be added in the future but gave no indication if that was something that would happen and certainly not a timeframe for it. Complete bummer, not feeling like dropping the extra cash right now for a series 2 right now.
However... I found mention of a little app on the Play Store called USB OTG Checker. So I checked it out and viola, the Tab S6 has OTG and the checker app even recognized when the wired Xbox controller was plugged in! So not a hardware issue, strictly software. Anyone more savvy than I know of a work around to get around Samsung's boneheadedness which actually seems to be blocking the damn thing from working?
It's fixed!
The new Android 10 update has enabled the use, I've tried an xbox one with micro USB and a wired xbox pad.
Happy Days!
I can also confirm that the wired Xbox 360 controller with micro USB works too!!
has anyone tried other brands, like Logitech, PDP, Razer, Gamesir, etc et? my Tab S6 was the reason i 'upgraded' from my trusty wired gamepad to a flaky bluetooth one

Is it Micro-USB or USB Type C?

My bad, my post should have read USB to Type C. I have a short cable usb 3 to type c
After receiving an otg cable I ordered, I connect a wireless mouse with a dongle and it worked perfectly. When I connected my Xbox 360 wireless receiver, however, the controller couldn't connect, instead the ring kept flashing. The controller is already linked to the receiver btw. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Hi, did you got the controller working? I have the same problem.
Can't get Xbox One or Xbox 360 controllers working with otg adapter, but i connect other devices without any problem like keyboard and mouse.
Any help??
Hello i am searching a gamepad who can be wired to the xz1c and recognized, because of the no otg, i can't wire my dualshock 4 instead of using bluetooth to play..
I saw some gamesir /panda gamepad etc who are like joy cons from the nintendo switch, can be compatible with xz1c since there is no otg please?
I can comfirm that the 8BitDo N30 Pro v2 does NOT work with the xz1c wired, the phone will always try to charge the controller and the controller will want to pair via Bluetooth. Don't buy this if you want wired connection.
