I've been googling for help with this for the past two weeks and coming up with nothing: is there a tweak or setting to enable function of the right analog stick on PS3 and Xbox 360 controllers? Having just the left is fine for cordy, but I need the right for c-buttons on n64oid. Anyone out there have any info on this?

I've had the same problem and haven't come up with a fix yet using my old Six Axis via usb cable. I've been using the a classic wiimote instead for now. Getting ready to try the new Sixaxis controller app to see if it will work better pairing the controller up via bluetooth instead of usb.

I've tried it myself. I works on the same principle as the Wiimote pairing app, except I think it piggybacks on the PS3 controller drivers native to android which leads to the d-pad, right, and left stick all getting treated at the same button presses. The end result, in my testing, was that moving the right stick left triggered a right analog, right-c, and right d-pad all at once, which is problematic to say the least.
Did that explanation make sense?

So even with the sixaxis controller app, you still can't map the right analog stick?

the d-pad, right stick, and left stick all register as a single d-pad, make sense?

Yeah, thanks for clarifying.
By chance what controller are you using, is it a Dualshock 3, or just an older sixaxis or a third party made?
I've tried 2 different sixaxis controllers over usb (Both are from when the ps3 originally came out) and a logitech controller with a dongle, none worked.
I've read in other threads in the forum after 3.1 came out and it seemed like they were lots who it worked fine for, so don't know what they were doing different
The sixaxis controller app has settings that allow for the left and right analog sticks to be programmed separately. The trick is that by default they are set to mirror each other. Just open the app, hit the menu button, go to input settings and scroll all the way to the bottom. I changed my right stick to A, B, C, D so that it didnt interfere with the other buttons.
I have been happily playing Goldeneye 64 with dual analog controls a la Halo for a few days now and love it. I even made a mini setup tutorial if youre interested http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=16442843#post16442843
p.s. for what its worth I'm using a plain jane SixAxis minus rumble. Got it dirt cheap on eBay since Transformer cant send rumble commands anyway.
Just to add: After you change the controller configuration in Sixaxis controller, you need to disconnect then reconnect the controller for the new configuration to take effect. I have it working fine on my transformer.

Thanks, I was going to ask about that. Now my sixaxis is my go to controller.
I'd still like to get the right stick working while the controller's plugged in. Having true analog response for the left stick combined with c-buttons would be gaming nirvana. anyone have any luck with that?

Has anyone tested a bluetooth gamepad with the Infinity yet, they they would recommend? Maybe the Phonejoy, or...?
I assume I want bluetooth so I can use it without having to have the dock or a USB adapter connected, but I'm not sure if there are any drawbacks to bluetooth over wired/or wireless USB. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

I use the sixaxis tool which requires root but I got my dualshock 3 paired and working in no time.
I hope it works right with the Wii Classic Controller, that's all I have until I get the dock and can plugin an Xbox controller (I wonder if the wireless adapter works?). The Classic controller usually works great on my phone.
Xbox Wireless Controller works with Shadowgun, Riptide, GTA and Death Trigger.
Just plug-in the wireless receiver into the dock, and push the xbox symbol on the controller.
After a while, the blinking changes, and you can use the controller.
Badly, it doesn't stop blinking alike when you connect it to a PC or an Xbox.
I also was able to connect PS3 controllers to the Infinity via sixaxis, the controller also worked with all the games i wrote î.
Unfortunately PS3 gamepad doesnt work via bluetooth. It works with TF300 though. I thought the same method of attaching via USB syncing with it and removing cable would work. I see PS3 controller in bluetooth paired devices in TF300, not in TF700.

PS3 Controller will work with root plus utils
I was able to get a PS3 DualShock controller to work via Bluetooth with my TF700T + dock and root.
I plugged the controller into the USB port and then used PS3 Controller Pairing Tool to set the Bluetooth MAC address and then start up Sixaxis Controller app (requires root) to get the bluetooth link working.

Yes, I know that. I used that config with my old Samsung 10.1, but I don't want to root TF700. With TF300 it works out of the box. Same company, 2 tablets with so similar specs, and what works in a recent model does not in a newer one. Hard to understand.

I have been using the Onlive Universal Wireless Controller. It is a really sold piece of hardware and works with most bluetooth devices. For some tabs though it will be detected incorrectly and leave you spinning around uncontrollably in games by default. However I found this fix on an Onlive forum which has worked perfectly for me. You will need root access in order to perform the fix.
"su
cd /system/usr/keylayout/
mount -o remount,rw /system
cp Vendor_045e_Product_028e.kl Vendor_2378_Product_100a.kl
exit
exit"
Enjoy!
Received a PhoneJoy today. Haven't played much yet, but pretty much unusable with Bluez.
Bought and installed USB/BT Joystick Center which makes wonders.
Currently I have a setup for shadowgun and fantasy drive.
I would LOVE to know if there is any site/forum that has user exports to download, so I could import it in the Joystick Center app for my phonejoy and specific game?
There is some work to be done initially as it seems, but had 0 problems after setting things up.
Currently I have some 20 games, not all are playable with gamepad, but still around 10-15 games for which i will have to find imports or i'll have to go through a hassle myself.
If anyone else has PhoneJoy maybe we can start Export/Import sharing here on this forum (new thread)
Anyone?
I've been through a bunch of controllers, and I really prefer the PS3 controller over the phone joy, onlive, etc. I was turned off in the beginning due to people continuously mentioning the sixaxis app, but after getting it set up, it really works well and it just adds one step before gaming.
I'll make it simple.
First Time Setup
===============================================================
1. You get the application from Play.
2. Run it.
3. Hit the start button in the app.
4. Connect controller via USB cable. (you need it anyway to charge the controller)
5. Hit Pair then hit OK button
6. Unplug the controller
7. Hit the PS3 Button on the controller
8. Wait ~10 seconds.
9. Paired and Done! Now you can game.
Each Time You Want to Game
================================================================
1. Start Sixaxis App
2. Press Start in App
3. Press PS3 button on Controller
4. Wait ~10 seconds.
5. Game!
The above "each time you want to game" takes 15 seconds of your life to use a quality controller, so its REALLY not a big deal.
Just, don't buy PS3 controllers from ebay =) You have been warned!
I'm using ps3 controller over Bluetooth with six axis tool. Go to there official site for instructions.

You missed the very first step; use six axis pair tool to change Bluetooth address on ps3 controller to that of your tablets address.

No need to use the PC tool, I paired it successfully just plugging the DualShock 3 into the dock. The app then found the MAC address and I could pair it.

Are we requiring root for the above processes to work with Sixaxis? I really don't want to root my Infinity, because I don't see the need to. But I also want a controller that will work well. I wonder when Ouya releases there system, if there controller will work universally across android devices.
I didn't want to get an Ouya system though, because of there refusal to leave the standard android market on it, and refusal to support existing games. All games have to be purchased through there own app market.
Has anyone connected 2 controllers at once? One via BT and the other usb?

I just pre-ordered the Nyko Playpad Pro from Gamestop,
FYI: As per Nyko, Gamestop will be the exclusive distributor for the Playpad Pro until February 2013.
Amazon has preorders on the Playpad and Playpad Pro but the Pro is not available until February 2013 as stated by Nyko. Bummer, I would have preferred to order almost anywhere other than Gamestop since their return policy stinks compared to most others. But I did not want to wait until February either....
Anyone else going for the Playpad or Playpad Pro?
Hi, got my OTG cable today and tried plugging in my wired xbox controller. The lights flash on it but its not recognising any button presses. Anyone know if it works?
if not would a cheap USB controller work?
Try using an app called USB/bt joystick center they have a test version.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
thanks the test app seems to show up something when i press the buttons, cant get the mame app to take it for defining the keys
I have paired the controller to my Tab and when I use the compatibility checker it shows all the buttons I press on the controller which means I should be able to use it with the actual Sixaxis Controller app. The problem is that when I press start on the Sixaxis Controller app, it tries to start the first driver then I get an error, when it tries to start the second driver, it also gets an error then it won't start anymore even when I press start. I know it works on my device because I have seen videos of it.
I solved it! Used the latest version and it worked! Now i got another question, if I have used the controller on the tab and I use it on the PS3, will I need to pair it again with the tab using a computer?

If you keep jumping from your tab to ps3 to computer you will have to pair it again each time because the Bluetooth Mac address needs to be changed to match that of the device your wanting to use it with.

Does the Shield work as a PC gamepad via USB or Bluetooth connection? I am not talking about the Steam/streaming option. I know that basically does work, but only for PCs capable of streaming(unlike mine). I thought it would be cool if you could plug into usb and use the shields gamepad to control a pc game. The benefit of this vs. streaming would be that the shield's screen could be blank, conserving battery. And if it worked via bluetooth you would have a wireless controller.
If these are not possible as-is I am sure they could be made possible with an android app and PC service. Is anyone else interested in this? If so I may try to create something.
Edit:
I have made an app that works over wifi. Get it here - Shield2PCGamepad

It doesn't. And it probably won't directly via USB (dont think android will allow you to access USB in the correct way). Bluetooth + a PC service is probably doable though.
Is there been any more progress looking into this? I would love to be able to use it just as a controller on the pc. it's much more comfortable then an xbox controller.
I would never use this over an Xbox controller. There is a weird dead zone on this controller so you can't play games like black Ops 2 with it.
