Hi Guys,
Just a quick question. I've only found topics related to PS3 & XBOX controllers. But will any usb controller work with the Asus Transformer?
Thanks in advance!

I don't know about any usb controller, but I would think so. I have this controller and it works perfectly.

I've tried a few of the Logitech ones, the Wired 360 and a 3rd party adapter that connects a n64 controller and they all work.
Where it gets sticky is app compatibility. I know that GTA3 does not 100% work with the Logitech controllers (can't go forward in car). The n64 one may or may not work with anything other than emulators.
Figure out what you are going to use it for then do the research. One may be better than others for your specific purpose.
If I were to pick ONE to work with, it would be the wired 360 controller.
Thanks for your replies. I know that some games aren't standard compatable with gamepads/controllers but there's this app called 'Sixaxis Controller' that fixes this problem.
360 is to pricy for me. Found one for 15 bucks with good reviews.

which one???
I have some cheap USB controller. It works perfectly only in Sonic CD. Didn't yet tried sixaxis but it should definitely help.
Hooray for DealExtreme. But you get what you pay for, but the reviews are good compared to others.

Sixaxis is great, you can map parts of the touchscreen to certain buttons.

I know you can use the Wiimote, but can you also use the "classic controller?"
What about the Xbox 360 controller? Wired only?
Yes, I've been using the Classic Controller to play n64oid.
not sure about the XBox 360 controller, perhaps 3.1?
I only ask because I already have 360 controllers, but no wii controllers. I'm gonna pick up a classic controller through. Can't wait to play some old school games haha

btw, as far as I know the classic controller has to be tethered to a regular Wiimote.
you need a Wiimote to hook the classic controller up, but once you have both, your good.
With the 3.1 update, any USB gamepad will work. Now, the Xbox 360 WIRED controller should work as it was shown. as far as the wireless one goes, you'd have to buy the USB cable for it and i doubt the wireless adapter for windows will work.
But literally any USB gamepad will work with android 3.1, and there are many many usb gamepads out there.

3.1 is going have all sorts of USB connectivity for joysticks, mice, keyboards, etc, at Google IO I guess they used an Xbox 360 controller.

I know the Datel Retro Wireless controller works, it's been verified, but i believe from what i see at Amazon and Best Buy, it's sold out or discontinued.
I'd like to get something similar for a trip i'm taking, so my question is will any wireless Wii classic controller work for the Xoom? Or should it?
e.g. Amazon.com: Thrustmaster T-Wireless Gamepad for Nintendo Wii: Video Games

I am still waiting on my Xoom to arrive but on my Evo I use the official classic controller with analog sticks with the wiimote app and it works great. The only downside is that it has to be plugged into the wii remote as it isn't a stand-alone controller. This is why I am looking forward using my Xbox controllers now.
Isaac in Best Buy the other day and saw a wireless gamecube controller in the wii accessories section. Not sure if it would work, but worth checking into. I use the Datel controller, if you Google it you can still find it.
wireless gamecube controller dont work because they arent bluetooth. they have an adaptor that plugs into a gamecube port. Try to find the datel retro wireless, it's the best options. You can get them on datel.com. I bought mine from another xda'er.

That's the one. If you get it I would recommend going over to the "Xoom Accessories" forum and looking up the thread on the Datel controller. They discuss a must have mod for the controller to really work well.
Edit: Here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13018984&postcount=28 I did the mod myself, it was easy to do and made a noticable difference.

Hi,
I am searching a gamepad (like a xbox 360 or ps3 Controller) for my Infinity...someone know where I can buy something like this?
Wired Xbox 360 (with keyboard dock or asus usb adapter) and bluetooth PS3 controllers work great on Android. I'd avoid anything else.

Xbox controller doesn't use Bluetooth so it can't connect to the Infinity wirelessly.

If you have an wireless XBox Controller and the PC XBox USB Connecter you can use it wireless.
Just plug-in the USB Connector and push the Xbox Symbol on the Controller.
Then after a while it stops Blinking and from that moment you can use it.
I bought an app in the market called "BT Controller" that makes your phone a bluetooth controller. Waiting for my replacement Infinity to arrive to try it out. I would like a sony controller though . Anybody have a spair one they want to get rid of.

PS3 controller works great on practically any android device
I have a PS3 controller and it works great wired. But how do I get it working wirelessly? Most of the time the Infinity does not find it. Once it did appear in the bluetooth settings but it said I had the incorrect PIN. Is there any way to make it work unrooted? Is there any other controller out there that I can buy that would work wirelessly out of the box?

Picked up an afterglow wired remote from walmart last night, works both with the dock and with a otg adapter.
Its not an oem controller but it is a certified and licensed product so i gave it a try, very happy with it !

This would be my question. Does ICS have built-in mappings for the PS3 controller? Or do you have to install an app for it?
I did not have to install anything. Just plugged it in the usb port in the dock and it worked. But I can't get it to work wirelessly.

For those of you that connected the PS3 controller via BT, did it find it with the built-in BT drivers or did you have to install an app to find it?
With the TF700, you need the Sixaxis app from the Play store in order to use the Sixaxis controller wirelessly.
It worked without the app on the TF101, but not on the TF700 for whatever reason.

I ordered a sixaxis PS3 controller for my tf700, and it works gloriously when plugged in (handled natively).
I installed sixaxis to use it wirelessly and still have android recognize it as a native controller. The controller will connect, but doesn't seem to work properly.
Has anyone gotten a PS3 controller to connect wirelessly to their TF700 and perform natively?? (important for analog input).
Just got the GameStop bluetooth controller for Android (who knew GameStop would actually be the source for the one and only dedicated Android controller I've ever seen?). Feels a bit cheap, but DOES work natively. However, it basically becomes a keyboard input device, so once it's paired, your on-screen keyboard is disabled. When the gamepad is powered off, the keyboard comes right back. Tried it with N64oid, and once the key mappings were entered properly, it's fantastic with no lag as far as I can tell.
My Logitech Wireless Gamepad F710 also works great when connected to the dock.

Just ordered the phonejoy , read and seen (youtube) some good reviews regarding it.
I will receive my Infinity in 2 weeks, so I have already started to collect some nice accesories.
Has anyone tried using a Bluetooth Wireless Sixaxis game controller from Ebay? Not Sony brand, but some off brand. Like this --> ebay controller

Yes, I tried an Arsenal bluetooth PS3 controller, and the Infinity wouldn't even detect it as a bluetooth device. I suppose I could have tried to delve into assigning the address manually, but when there are other options that work without jumping through hoops, I didn't see the point.

Damn.. ok, thanks for the info.
Hi guys, I'm really interested in getting an emulator such as FPse, but I'm wondering if my xbox 360 will work with it. If not, will a bluetooth game controller do the job? Thanks for the help!
i never tried a xbox 360 controller but my ps3 controller works perfect with sixaxis controller

A wired Xbox 360 controller works pretty well with SuperGNES emulator, haven't tried it with FPSe yet.
I'm not sure if a wireless one would work though
If you're using the PS3 controller there's a new site that users can share and upload profiles for the best Android games. It's called Sixaxisofpower lol

I use usb joystick center. Works with most usb controllers, I use wii mote tho in wireless. It also has a touch to joystick addon that allows you to map button pushes to specific touch points on the screen. Its really phenomenal software. I play Max Payne and GTA3 with a wii classic controller pro plugged into a wii mote[gives you more buttons to map than Ps3 and XBOX controllers]. It does take some patience to learn the app, its customizable every way you can think of.

Oh awesome! This was the answer I was looking for Now I can live comfortably knowing that I can just use this app for my 360 controller. Didn't know this app existed. Thanks!

Anyone have advice on using a game controller with the phone? I'd really like to find something that has a clip to hold the phone while playing, too. Is bluetooth the way to go? Or just plugging in a USB controller?
If you have a PS3 controller laying around SixAxisPairTool is a great app. I've used it with my S3 & S5 to connect wired and wirelessly to my android phone. Not sure if its compatible with the S6 though. Other than that I dont have any knowledge of available gaming controllers.
You should be able to connect a ps4 controller without the need of the sixaxis pair app and all the buttons will be mapped. I'll try tonight when I get home.
What if I'm an Xbox person rather than a Playstation person?

Nice.
I had the MOGA and absolutely hated it. I forgot the exact reason, I wanna say it was something with the bluetooth pairing and lack of support, but it was a year or two ago. All I know is I won't give it another try any time soon.
Good to know. Thanks for the feedback. None of these things seem to have great reviews.
The PS3 controller worked best for me, considering I already had one laying around, it cost me exactly $0.

I only did a quick skim of the reviews because I'm not going to buy one, but it looks like all of the negative reviews are on apple devices.
