Has anyone used these with the transformer? They obviously look made for the ipad but the little bit I've seen on other threads about android seems like speculation and that no one has really tried them.
Just curious why these aren't catching on better. They seem like they would be a game changer.
What's the advantage over a usb / Bluetooth joystick? I can see a big disadvantage (other than that this is ugly as sin), in that I can't use it with any of my other devices. Don't see any real advantage, though.
How bout the fact that not every game supports gamepad/joysticks? This thing is supposed to work with any on-screen joystick. Seems like a winner to me considering how android apps have compatibility issues between devices a lot.

There's "work", and there's "work". It seems to me that it will only work properly with on-screen joysticks that are exactly the right size and layout, etc.
I just don't see this as being a real solution to a real problem.

Now that definitely could be a problem, but I have only played a couple games with virtual joysticks and those it "seems" will work with it. At $20 for a pair of them, its not exactly a big gamble to try them. Maybe the OP will get a set and let us know.

Check eBay or dealextreme -- if you're willing to wait on a Hong Kong shipment you can get a pair for about half that price.
I have. Awesome. Only buy one though. 2 isn't need. Used it for galaxy on fire 2 and controlled much better. About to load Nova 2.
You can place them anywhere and it works great. Took 2 months to get. For $15 they're awesome.

Ya know what guys? I think i might just throw down on the old fling joystick review. I'm gonna dump some cash into these things and then a little more cash on a few more games and let you guys know what i find out.
I have depended on XDA to find answers to my gadget questions for all these years and have finally found one that no one has answered (or no one cares about). In any event I feel like its my calling...
The reason why they work so well is because they give you something to "find" without looking. Without a physical material you can't tell where your thumb or finger lands on a flat surface. When playing games where there is fast movement like shooters or the likes, occasionally you will "loose contact" with the thumb control and you will have to recreate that contact which requires taking your eye off of the gameplay to look at the onscreen controls.
This is a brilliant device (overly priced for plastic, should be $1 lol). But it provides pretty strong resistance when you play. That resistance gives you fine control over movement. You also don't get "tacky" thumb where it becomes hard to slide smoothly.
Really truly a slick little accessory to have. I bought 2 just to have. You probably don't need more then 1 at a time, as the right side usually has more controls to use... But it took me almost 6 weeks to get it because of a shipping error (they forgot to ship it) so I'm glad I got 2 in case one breaks.
You could also probably make one of these out of rubber bands and suction cups if you can find a thumb pad that works on the screen.
On taobao, the fling joystick sells for about $6-7. Not too bad, I will probably order one or two.
I'd really like to get a fling mini joystick for my Huawei X5. That would be awesome for gaming on my phone. Anyone seen them for sale in China?
Also, in China there is also a more retro style joystick, like on arcade games. I'm sure you could find it one one ebay, if you like it. And no, I'm not a seller of these. I just typed "fling joystick" into taobao and found this.
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=12205018643
I just bought two fling joysticks for $9 off taobao. Hope they live up to the hype.
Just got my two fling joysticks in today:
Games played:
Gorilla Bob
Death worm
Pew Pew 2
Samurai II
The good: I think the fling joysticks idea would make for excellent buttons. When placed over onscreen buttons, they work really well:
The bad: The problem is the joystick radius is too small. In Pew Pew 2 and Deathworm, the joy stick does not extend to edge of the onscreen joystick, so you move really really slow.
The Ugly:
It's dirt cheap plastic. I feel like I'm going to break them every time I use them. I have a feeling the won't last a week in my tablet case. The first time I set down my backpack wrong, they will be broken. Secondly, they don't slide too well. If they don't make flat contact with the tablet, they may not register.
Death worm, Pew Pew 2, and Samurai II all had the problem of not matching the onscreen joystick.
Gorilla Bob was a perfect fit to the onscreen keyboard. But the fling joystick just isn't that accurate. I found myself dying a lot more than usual.
The potential silver lining:
I think the fling joystick may work very well over a onscreen dpad, i.e. emulator. The do not work well on onscreen analog sticks.
Comparison to other joysticks with my score:
360 Controller: 10
PS3 Controller: 9
Onscreen Android analog joystick: 6-7
Fling Joystick: 1-4
Advertised price: $20 (USD)
My Cost: $9
What I feel they are worth: $2
Might be better over onscreen dpad. Will test that later.

It's a gimmick, really. There's zero chance these will get popular enough that programmers will start coding their games specifically to ensure they're usable with these devices, and until they do, it's a lottery as to whether the device will work properly with any given game.
Works incredibly well on my device. Controls could a bit of work and that price is pretty steep, otherwise a great game.

It's $7 for a pretty big triple A title. It's not some silly puzzle game but something that took a whole lot of effort and people to code and texture and animate. $7 is a good price for this game since it's a lot better then those 99 cent piece of crap games

Not everyone can decide whether a $7 games is worth it under 15 minute
That's true 7 dollars is expensive for merely maybe 2 or 3 hours of gameplay

Runs silky smooth and the gameplay is completely different from any other fps on the android I have seen so far. Graphics are top notch and the weapons/skill upgrades are the icing on the cake.
Not to mention the mass effect story lines are always good. I think its worth the 7$

I always look at it a little differently, I see it as entertainment, and I look at what two+ hours of entertainment in other options would cost... console games? 50+ dollars plus the cost of owning a console, concert? 50-100+ dollars... even a movie at the theater is 12 dollars without food and drinks.

Is it seriously better than the first one ?
I know this is not related to Xperia PLAY but it is Sega related and as they have released a few sonic games for our phone I thought I would share this as it may turn out to be something for our phone... unlikely but you never know.
http://www.technobuffalo.com/gaming/platform-gaming/skies-of-arcadia-trademark-renewed-by-sega/
I'd say its pretty likely given Sega's excellent support for mobile phones and we have JSR coming up soon. The game only takes up about 2 gigs of space and I'm sure if they felt like it they could compress it a bit beyond that. Cool find though, always great to see some DC love.

Agreed. I still have my DC and my original copies of skies of Arcadia, grandia 2, shenmue 1 & 2 and about 60 other games. Love the DC. Such an underrated system that never got the attention it should have.

Oh yes, I believe we've had this talk but the DC sits proudly on my desk at all times connected to my hdtv through a vga adapter for the perfect picture (blows away the ps2). I actually had a copy of SoA I bought at a pawn shop (for a really good price btw) but it ended up not working and I couldn't repair it so I ended up trading it in at the same pawn shop for E.G.G. (This pawn shop was a ****ing treasure trove of Dreamcast ****, got my PAL Shenmue 2 there!). Btw, if you haven't played E.G.G. its a really great hidden gem for the console and one of my favorites.

E.g.g. is awesome RPG. Elemental gimmick Gear. Great game. And I have always like the Evolution games. Too bad they didn't make any more. I bought the last one made for the gamecube and its not very good. Like the series ran out of gas which is unfortunate. And yes I have my VGA cable box as well and yes it gives awesome picture quality. I also really enjoy the Starlancer game as its made hy the same people who made wing commander on pc. But its notbas good as wing commander. But iblike it because incandescent still play online with it. I bought the sdcard adapter for my dc last year. Lets you play games from the sdcard. Only thing I would love to get but is out of my price range is the broadband adapter. Sigh.....one day
SDcard adapter... mine is not a cable but rather plugs right into the back where the NeoGeo Pocket cable used to go. Got mine for $20 from TaoBao (its like a chinese ebay, have to have a chinese bank account, good thing I still have mine from when I was ther for 6 months 2 years ago. on a side note Buyfromtaobao.com lets USA people buy from that site, there fee is small) The SD adapter is very nice.... you can use the SDcard software you burn on a CD to copy the game form the disc to the SDcard, its slower then snot and takes all night but its a nice way to back up a GD ROM disc. Anyways... shutting up now... see you got me in my old DC emu scene mode.....

My Nyko Playpad came in from Amazon on Friday (earlier than the estimated ship date I might add...) and here are my quick thoughts.
Summary: Very disappointing. Build quality is questionable, it doesn't work with a lot of games and their 'app' is a broken mess.
Details:
1. The device is VERY small. I have small hands and it is difficult to press the L1, R1, L2 and R2 buttons because the thing is so small. Some one with slightly larger hands would probably have a really hard time using this device. This isn't a knock per se, because it is advertised as a 'portable' solution. You just probably don't want to plan to do any extended gaming on this.
2. The build quality feels light, cheap and 'plasticky'. I feel like I am going to break the L2 and R2 buttons every time I press them. This feels like a cheap $15 knock off controller, not a $40 controller in the same price range as an XBox controller.
3. The analog controls are stiff and imprecise. They are not covered in the same rubber texture that the body is covered in, and the raised 'bumps' that are there to provide grip are VERY raised. It feels like pressing your thumbs on tiny spikes and is not comfortable.
4. The free app that exists to allow you to map buttons (which would solve the game compatibility problem) does not work. The entry in the Google Play store warns the app 'is in beta'. 'Beta' is being generous. I could not get the app to sync the controller on either my HTC phone or my Asus Infinity. The sync process crashes at 50%.
Even more strange is the fact that the app doesn't use the 'App Mode' of the controller. When starting the app, a warning appears that 'In the current version, the app uses the HID/Game Pad mode'. The 'App Switch' at the top of the controller has to be in HID/Game pad mode to work (it still doesn't sync even when you use the right mode).
I am not the only one with this problem. There are numerous complaints and '1' ratings.
5. Unless your game supports this pad specifically or has built in remap functions, the controller is probably not going to work. In Snesoid for example, only one of the analog controllers and the 'Y' button work, and the rest just cause the 'Exit App' screen to appear.
6. The charging dongle that comes with the controller is an actual dongle. It is not a cable. This makes it very difficult to charge the device.
Conclusions. Right now this was a waste of my $40. When the app is fixed the pad might be usable, but it still will not be a product I would recommend to anyone.
I bought the Playpad Pro the other day from Gamestop and I would rate it 7/10. Overall, I'm very happy with the construction of the controller. I haven't held the regular Playpad, but I can tell you the Playpad Pro has a nice rubberized, non-slip finish to it and it feels surprisingly solid for what it is. It worked perfectly right out of the box with all of my favorite emulators (anything by yongzh, fpse, etc...). I'm disappointed to report that the triggers would not work with Max Payne Mobile. But, hey, not big deal as long as you don't need Bullet Time or the ability to shoot Max's guns! :/
Also, the app, as reported by bluejay2345 is indeed a desolate wasteland of perhaps 10 games, 3 of which you have maybe even heard of. One of these titles is Grand Theft Auto III, which admittedly worked amazingly well. The game controlled (and looked) even better than I remembered on the console versions. That being said, Nyko needs to show the app some serious TLC if this thing is ever going to catch on. They've got a really great concept going here, but it's in need of some immediate support.
But overall, I would highly recommend the Nyko Playpad Pro. Especially if your main goal is to relive classic games through emulation on your beastly tablet.
Do the analog sticks work with FPSE? I've read a review on Amazon where some guy can't make them work with FPSE.
I'm pleased to report that the left analog stick works fine. I couldn't get the right one to work, but I don't believe the ps1 had a right analog stick anyway.
I wish I had bought the Pro version instead of the portable version. It sounds like a much better deal, particularly given that they are the same price.

Hi, did you buy Playpad Pro on line. I live in the UK and I can't find any where to buy it.
What gamepad would you suggest for Android as an alternative to this device if you'd pay any price ?

That's the frustrating part of this whole thing. In my opinion, this is the best gamepad on the market. The build is solid and it feels like a nice, sturdy, ergonomic controller with all the necessary buttons. The problem we're faced with is the software. There is no other bluetooth gamepad out there that will do anything more than this will. Triggers are simply not recognized by any game unless it is already optimized for it, such as GTA III. Nyko's playground app is supposed to let you map any button to do what you like for any game out there. Unfortunately, it doesn't and the app is virtually worthless at this point. Once they finally come out with an update that enables the app to do what it's advertised to do, this will be the ultimate solution.
Does anyone know if this works with Bard's Tale?

I think I am going to invest in the Moga, you put your phone in it or fold that part away and use it like a regular blue tooth gamepad for our tablets. It's $50 or $60 at best buy, I forgot.

Good luck. I heard the Moga is just as bad or worse. Great idea, but again poor execution. Wish I could a sixaxis without rooting. For my phone that's what I use, but for my tablet i want to keep stock (twc app, ect...)

I own the MOGA, Playpad and the Steelseries Free controller.
Out of the three, the Steelseries is my favorite. Its very comfortable... at least i feel it is.
The MOGA does not have native bluetooth IME support unless you use the universal driver app.
The Problem the MOGA has is that it isn't using android native drivers. Input starts out smooth but eventually lag... lag really, really bad.
If Power A figures out a way around the lag their app and drivers cause, then the controller would be amazing. Until they do, use the universal driver app.
The Nyko Playpad's Playground app is crappy and needs an update... bad. The thumb sticks/numbs are not as smooth as I was hoping, though it's about the same level of sensitivity as the MOGA.
The Steelseries Free just feels amazing. The Thumb Sticks are extremely smooth and every click just feels right. The only downside I have with the controller is the Price.
$80
You can get a PS3 controller for cheaper.
I just spent a couple hours playing FPSE with the Playpad and I'm satisfied although the L2 and R2 buttons do not work in HID mode. I can live without dual analog support until Nyko gets their Playground app straightened out (or someone straightens it out for them, or suggests a good alternative) but I am a bit concerned about the L2 and R2 buttons, which were the main reason I chose this pad over an iControlpad (that only has two "shoulder" buttons). I also have not yet attempted to use the Playground app and probably won't until I have a game to play that really forces me to.
As far as the size goes, I was actually hoping it would be just a bit smaller. It is light but it seems fairly durable. Gamestop promised me a 30 day no questions asked warranty so I intend to do my best to break it in the next 30 days, I already dropped it right on its shoulder buttons before I ever even turned it on for the first time and it was none the worse for wear. It's also as mash-proof as I was hoping it would be. I'm slightly concerned that the L2 and R2 buttons may break in my pocket not from mashing but from catching up under their lips and pulling/levering but I guess we'll see. Unfortunately I may not realize it if they are since as I said they don't function in HID mode. I will make a point of testing them as I near my cut-off date if I'm still not using them for games.
If the SteelSeries wasn't twice the price, I might have considered it since it is definitely smaller and I'm not surprised to hear that it has a nice feel since it looked like it had a nice build quality but the Playpad is acceptable in this department and it is the only mobile gamepad that has four shoulder buttons.
Xbox 360 wireless controller
I just use my xbox 360 controller with the wireless usb adapter, which you could get from amazon for under $20 and the usb/bt joycenter app (paid) with touch server. The controller navigates the tablet out of the box, but needs the app to play emulators and touch games like modern combat and nova. I get to use my wireless xbox 360 controller on my pc as well with the adapter which I already had. The only thing I had to buy was the app which I think was like 6 dollars. Works fine for me.
It's better now
It works great now. Especially for emulators. Every button works on Mupen64 and ePSXe, even both analogue sticks.
Is Touch Mapping supported?
Virtual Reality is becoming more and more easily accessible. These VR glasses make it super easy to be somewhere you’re not!
The box comes with: a microfiber cloth, the VR headset, and instructions.
VR was proven to be easy to achieve thanks to Google Cardboard, which is a VR headset made from basic materials like cardboard, magnets and rubber bands. This headset is an improved and sturdier version of Cardboard since it’s made out of hard plastic.
To use this product, you will need a smartphone. Any smartphone will do, but it is recommended that you use one that is up to date and can downloaded the latest apps, since that’s one of the most important things here.
Apps I tested: Google Cardboard app, Vrse, Google StreetView and Discovery VR.
Note: These apps don’t come with the product and must be downloaded separately, depending if you’re using Android or iOS. They’re all free, but you must understand that the apps are about half of what you need to make this work.
Thoughts on the product:
I’ve used Google Cardboard so I had previous knowledge of how VR works. You can say this is an upgrade from that since it feels like a real headset, it’s made from hard plastic, and it even has cushions for your face. There are two adjustable settings: one to adjust the focus of the glasses themselves and the second one is to set how far away your phone is from your eyes.
Let's start with customization and comfort. You can adjust pretty much every feature of the glasses. From the straps to the focal length and distance between the lenses. Truly a "one size fits all" product.
Regarding performance, the lenses are extremely clear. Once you have them on, you can adjust the lenses to get the best quality of image. If you haven't tried the VR experience before, you are in for a ride. The image quality is fantastic.
The way the the phone goes into the goggles is awkward at best. Yes, it will fit a phone up to 6" screen size, but not comfortably. I tried using it with my Nexus 6P and i struggled getting the phone in there (did not fit with the case on). When i finally got the phone in, the braces were touching the buttons causing it to not function properly. What i did is i took out the the bracket that is supposed to hold the phone in place and it works great now. little hack that made this very functional with my phone case on and everything.
Another negative aspect I found for these glasses is that if you are in a very bright location, some light does get in through the side slats. This does not happen often and not really a deal breaker for me. It is also something that can be fixed quite easily with tape.
Here is my list of pros and cons:
Pros:
- Adjustable.
- Comfortable on your face. Nice padding.
- Quality materials. Not too heavy.
- Works with most phones.
- Nice additional items such as stylus and microfiber cloth.
- Image quality. Great lenses.
- Easy to use and set up with your phone.
Negatives:
- Side slats allow a bit of light in.
- No way of interacting with touch screen when phone is in the VR goggles (google cardboard Star wars edition had something to touch the screen). would really like if i didn't have to take the phone out of the goggles every time i wanted to change what i am doing
- Fitting larger phones (nexus 6P, LG V10) are awkward
See pictures for details (will post pictures when i get home from work)
I received this at a discount for my review, but my review is completely honest in what is stated.
Please let me know if you have any questions guys. I am more than happy to answer them.

Thanks for the review. I am very interested in VR I have no experience with it and just ordered my first VR headset today. However I went with the freefly VR (about 85 bucks). I'll report back on my impressions. Although a bit more costly I have read a lot of good things about them.

I am in no way affiliated with blitzwolf, but the freefly vr looks like just a more expensive version that ultimately does the same thing. Neither of the goggles have additional sensors in them the way the gear vr or oculus do. I'd save about $50 and order the blitz vr (or any of the ones that look identical on Amazon)

I totally get what you are saying and I honestly debated spending this much... vs something 1/3 the price, I was also looking at the vrbox v2 or the blitz vr; However, I have read many good reviews about users already owning other vr headsets and still think the freefly is worth the extra cost. Supposedly it has 120 FOV which is more than the gear vr and any other phone vr headset.
I will be receiving this tomorrow so if i am not totally impressed ill get something cheaper or nothing at all.

- No way of interacting with touch screen when phone is in the VR goggles (google cardboard Star wars edition had something to touch the screen). would really like if i didn't have to take the phone out of the goggles every time i wanted to change what i am doing

Of course, there is a way to interact with screen without taking the phone out of the goggles. It's a worthwhile investment to get an inexpensive bluetooth controller.
