Hello!
I don't have a dock and I was wondering if anyone has successfully connected a wired Xbox360 controller through the usb adapter (40 pin to female usb) to use with emulators. I've read that using a female to female usb adapter with the charging usb cable doesn't work (only works with low powered devices) but I'm wondering if it works with this other adapter. My concern is that the tablet won't be able to directly power the controller.

It will work fine, i was just trying to get a wireless xbox 360 controller working last night(From a dock). it connected fine, but was having issues with dead trigger so i gave up and brought an ps3 controller. Weigh up whether the ps3 controller is worth getting against the adaptor/ 360 controller, becouse the ps3 controller is ideal for the tablet (bluetooth connection)

I want to use it with emulators so I don't really mind if it doesn't work with some android games. I already have a wired Xbox controller and one of those adapters cost 20$/15€, so it's much cheaper than getting a PS3 controller.
But it's great to hear that it will work, thanks!

Is it possible to pair a PS3 controller with the transformer?
AFAIK the ps3 controller are designed to pair over USB and then use bluetooth for transmission. So far there have not been many successful attempts at getting ps3 controllers to connect. The only solutions i'm aware of are either the Datel wireless classic controller for the Wii, or using a Wiimote with a classic or classic pro plugged in to it. I use the last option and it works well on my Evo.
Haven't tried it on the transformer yet as i got FOTA-bricked
has anyone tried the phonejoy?
I thought heard 3.1 brought usb support for this, may have been the a different controller...

I plugged my PS3 controller into my Transformer (Primordial 3.1) and it works perfectly on N64oid. Minimal issues, I am very satisfied.

But it only works wired right? Plus you gotta use the keyboard right?

I've plugged mine into the USB slot on the dock but nothing happens, did yours just start working?
EDIT: I turned off the PS3, restarted the TF and it works fine now, ignore this
both ps3 and xbox360 controllers work flawlessly with my TF.

3.0.7b does.
Do the wireless controllers work or do you require the dongle that the PC uses for 360 wireless controllers?

wired 360 controller
Is everyone getting both joysticks working on their PS3 controllers? I've tried 2 Sony PS3 controllers (Wired) and a Logitech Wireless with USB Dongle. All three controllers work great except when trying to map keys for emulators (N64, PSX4Droid) its not getting anything when I try to map directions to the right joystick.

did it just work for you? Seems for me and many others that the wireless with charge and play kit and standard wired controller does not work at all.
You that have connected the ps3 controller to your tf, is this with usb in dock, or usb female to female ? As i dont have the dock i can only use the female to female atm, but havnt tryed yet waiting for the female to female adapter

I guess this makes the laptop dock more appealing to me..
I believe the Wiimote can be used wirelessly.
Has anyone got right stick on PS3 controller working? Seems it only can see left one... Or it's not mapped properly Been trying to play some games via MyDesktop, and still can't find a way to enable mouselook... Not with USB mouse, nor with trackpad.

Here's what I have, and it works great. It's just the standard PS3 wireless controller, plugged into the Transformer keyboard dock through the USB cable. Though I haven't gotten two controllers to work at the same time yet for two player games, but I only played with it for a few minutes so far...

XBOX 360 Controllers + USB TYPE A FEMALE 2 FEMALE ... Not working ... Anyone else having issues with there XBOX360 controller Thanks.
what controller?
obviously using a wired controller? or are you using standard controller with the usb charging cable? did you try and OG xbox controller?
Maybe you need a usb 3 adaptor to get it working, just like for charging.

I'd be interested to see if works through the dock to see if its a driver issue or an issue using an adapter through the charging cable. Does the charge port output any power?
Are the lights on the controller on or off?

Lights are on when plugged in. I will have to try it with an USB3 cable tonight.

Wait... this is still not clear from your answers. Are you using:
A) Wireless X360 controller attached to USB via the Plug and Play charge kit
B) Wired X360 controller
If you are using A, you cannot communicate to the device via the USB connection. That is for charging only. No control signals can pass to the controller using that connection.
If you are using B there should be no cable to replace since the wired controller is hardwired.
to my understanding, only a true wired 360 controller will work. the wireless through plug and play or windows dongle will not work. i can attest to that as i've tried both with no luck.
The windows wireless dongle works on rhe xoom. I don't see why it doesn't work on my asus
I have the true wired controller and used that female adapter from amazon and it didn't work at all.

I have a wired Xbox360 controller and it doesn't work on the TF101.
I have the keyboard dock and 3.1.
When plugged in, the green lights flash but it's not picked up in any apps as an input method.
I think the 360 support may be broken.

+1 My wired 360 controller does not work when plugged into my dock with 3.1. However, my PS3 controller with attached usb cable does work
i have tried 2 generic usb contols from GAME, both light up and are powered, but neither show any input in any apps or games.
has anyone here got any game control to work yet?
this is a bug with the transformer
wired 360 controllers work with the xoom. this is an asus bug.
please report it to asus by calling them:
http://service.asus.com/callus.html
or emailing them:
http://vip.asus.com/eservice/techserv.aspx
as of now they're not even acknowledging this. the only way to get it fixed is to get it some visibility by reporting it.
You need to make sure your using a keybiard dock and are running updated stock asus firmware/Rom and the xbox controller is fully wired, the detatchable usb charging wire is only for charging, my wired madcatz controller will work natively while my wireless controller pluged in with the usb cable will not

you know the last post in this thread was more than 2 years ago, lol.
I have an org cable I don't how to work my Xbox controller. I bought a wired cored for my wireless controller and now its not working is there another way to connect it ? And I don't feel like paying more equipment
Any reason why the shield won't recognize my usb wireless keyboard? I can connect a wired Xbox 360 Controller through my OTG adapter, but when I connect the usb adapter for the mouse/keyboard, it won't recognize that there is a keyboard & mouse connected. My nexus 7 recognizes both when I use it, and so does my galaxy note 3. I'd love to be able to use this as opposed to having to buy a new bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
I'm using a logitech k400 keyboard with the touchpad and a logitech wireless mouse, model mk215, and they're using a unifying receiver.
I went to Best Buy and picked up a Dynex 7 port USB hub that is powered externally, and so far, the powered hub is not making a difference. Still not registering that the wireless keyboard/mouse are connected. Confirmed that hub works when connected to pc as well as my nexus 7, but not on the shield.
This will be supported in the update Monday its in the notes on things updating
I just did the update and plugged in a mouse via OTG cable and it seems to be working fine. Makes stuff like Plants vs Zombies really playable having a mouse.

I'm using a K400 and it works just fine. Both the keyboard and mouse pad are working great. I plugged in the OTG connector with the dongle already plugged into it and it wasn't recognized. I had to first plug in the OTG cable and then plug the dongle into the OTG.
The logitech unify devices work great with the Nvidia Shield.
HOWEVER, you MUST install the latest Unify software on a PC, link all the Unify devices to the same Unify transceiver you are going to use in the Shield. After linking everything you want to use, then unplug the Unify dongle and plug it into the Shield.
Why can't these instructions be included somewhere in the Logitech manual that came with my keyboard. What a waste of my time.

I agree. What a waste of time replying to a post from over a year ago.
Im wondering what do I need to connect ps3 (unofficial) controller that connects with usb wire and requires power supply from it, and mhl cable with adapter connected to hdmi tv. So, I can normally connect my phone to hdmi with mhl adapter and cable, but I'll need something like mhl splitter to connect both usb otg cable(for controller) and mhl hdmi cable to phone. Is there something like that, or is only option to connect bluetooth supported controller via bluetooth and hdmi to phone regularly? Because I would prefer more wired option without bluetooth...
