I was wondering what is the best gamepad for android out there?
I understand that the Wiimote is supported, but I do not want to buy a wii mote then a classic controller, just seems like a hassle to carry around.
Datel Retro Wireless controller seems like the perfect solution, but for some reason the product is discontinued and no one is selling it. I have tried amazon, ebay, newegg, tigerdirect, and even the company website and none seem to have it left in stock.
So I was wondering, what gamepads are out there that work with android?
edit:: looked at nyoko's wing which still needs you to have a wiimote, as well as bgp100 which looks like the best option so far, perhaps if its modded might be a worth while replacement.
I'd love to know this too!
I found an interesting mod that turns an snes into a wireless controller. The only problem is it also has a receiver and I am unsure if it works with android.
Google ppl-pilot Snes hack since I can't post links yet.
I wonder if the receiver is needed in the case of android.
I use a Logitech M505 nano mouse with with the TF101, works fine for me but with the nano receiver plugged in the port cover is in danger of being damaged.
So looking at the possibility of using the little used Bluetooth, I came a cross the Logitech Tablet Mouse for Android™ 3.1+
Unfortunately it is not available here in the UK and Logitech will not ship to the UK.
The code on the support page is M-RCQ142 and tried a search on the UK Logitech site and it came up with a "470 Cordless Laser Mouse for Bluetooth".
My question, is this the same mouse and would it work with the TF?
The Price is £34.99
I have a 470 and it works great with the tf. I suspect that the "tablet mouse" is just a rebranded 470 since they look exactly the same and there shouldn't be any functional difference between them.
tl;dr: yes, go for it.
Thanks for the quick reply.
Ordered a 470 direct from Logitech UK, got a 20% discount for trading in an old mouse.
One more question, are there any settings required on the TF?
You'll just need to pair it in the bluetooth settings, like you would a headset or any other BT accessory. Besides that, its pretty much plug and play. Even the scroll wheel works in all four directions.
Hi,
I looked at the other posts, they don't seem to answer my question.
I'm looking for a cheap game pad under £20, that operate over blue-tooth & usb host (i.e. tg01).
I need the gamepad to function for TG01 and Xperia X10 (android).
I would also consider any bluetooth game pad under £15.
I have looked at ebay, but my problem is that I don't know if it will function on the TG01. Can any one recommend a game pad? (also I prefer the seller to be in the UK)
Thanks.

I think, you could try the Logitech Wireless Gamepad F710 ~ http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0042YXSZO/ref=nosim/7240428-rg21550-21
and look references at http://androidcommunity.com/logitech-wireless-gamepad-f710-review-with-riptide-gp-on-toshiba-thrive-video-20110913/
Anyone had any experience with the Multi-Media dock for the Tab 8.9.
I have a Tab 8.9, and im interested in the Multi-Media dock, but i was wondering how well it works when connected to a HDTV, and can you connect external hard drives to it via USB/MicroUSB?
Thanks
I do, i bought 2 weeks ago in e.bay and works perfect. Really satisfaied

I am thinking of adding a keyboard for my fire HD 10 tablet 2017.
I am thinking of two options.
1. Bluetooth keyboard
https://www.amazon.com/Arteck-HB030...pID=51K3rbjy8rL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch
2. using my Logitech K400 keyboard. It has a unifying reciever. I am thinking of buying a OTG adapter reader.
https://www.amazon.com/Inateck-Adap...qid=1519484873&sr=1-18&keywords=micro+usb+hub
I am thinking I can connect the unifying reciever to it, and that way I can use my keyboard, (which has an included trackapad) on the fire tablet.
My question is :
1. Will the unifying receiver K400 combo work?
2. Will the trackpad works (does it show an arrow?)
3. Should i just get the Bluetooth keyboard instead, and how the Bluetooth connectivity?, (no dongle , no mouse
4. Any Bluetooth keyboard anyone would like to recommend??
Thank you.
I got this for my dad's 10": https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GIZHR2A/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
My review and pictures are under the review titled "Great value". I haven't had any issues with it (neither has my dad) and the keyboard feels pretty close to a full size layout.
I've been able to use a Bluetooth keyboard with a built-in trackpad with my HD 8 on 5.6.0.1.
I've also been able to use a separate USB mouse and keyboard simultaneously with an OTG cable and a USB hub. If the receiver works on another device (e.g. laptop), then it should work with an OTG cable.
If you carry around your tablet different places a lot, just go all Bluetooth if you can.
I'd suggest going Bluetooth as well. You can get cases with keyboards built in that connect via micro usb really cheaply, but they are more aggravation then they are worth. I bought one for my mom's 8" HD and I could instantly tell that bluetooth was the better option. I wound up buying a Logitech Type-V case for an Ellipsis 8 (because it was only $8 at Walmart), made some adjustments and so far so good.
I bought a Bluetooth XTREME keyboard at a National Wholesale Liquidators store in the NYC area a few weeks ago. They were about to be sold out. It was selling for $12, with no refunds. Took a chance on it, and it works perfectly with my 2017 fire hd 10. My tablet is attached to the FINTIE case.

Nice! Glad that worked out for you. I'm an Long Islander- there's a National Wholesale Liquidators a few towns away. I'll have to drop in when I get a chance
Bluetooth keyboard.
I bought (in Lidls) a SilverCrest keyboard for £15 which works very well.
I don't think that the USB dongle would work, mainly because Android is using a VERY similar kernel to Linux (almost identical) which is why we have SuperUser hacks.
Linux requires the use of drivers to do really anything, but Android isn't Linux and doesn't have any native driver support.
Best bet is to use a Bluetooth keyboard, and don't worry there is literally no latency. It works amazing.

It also works on my mom's HD8, apparently. That being said, the keyboard and USB dongle were already paired on my PC

I recently got a new Logitech 9-10" Tablet Keyboard Case Universal Folio since I got another Fire HD 10 on Prime day. It's not worth the retail price or the $32 Amazon is asking for it since it doesn't fit the tablet perfectly- the grips will apply pressure to the volume or power switch. I put a few pieces of foam on the grips to prevent that from happening and it works well enough. I got it new for $18 from a seller on Ebay. They have 9 more if anyone is interested: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Logitech-9...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
I actually had a Logitech Ultra thin Bluetooth Keyboard that was for the iPad 2 packed away and it actually works very well with my Fire HD 10 (2017). I use it with Office and WordPress.
anything like this?
Is anything like this type https://www.brydge.com/products/brydge-10-5-ipad-pro-keyboard available for the hd 10?

Not that I know of. I wouldn't be surprised if a generic equivalent was around for Android tablets but you will have to make sure of the dimensions.
I have the Logitech K400 and have the Unifying Receiver plugged into a OTG USB cable. My Fire 10 will not open the onboard keyboard with it plugged in, but neither will it record keystrokes from the K400. Not sure what the problem is.
