So I got a shield for on the go emulators as well as to replace my hacked Wii to play games on my tv. I mainly play snes, nes and Genesis games. The classic controller on the Wii worked pretty good because of its responsive dpad and it didn't cause crazy blisters like some other ones. My question for the community is if you could recommend one that is easy to bind the keys and is good for what I'm going to be using it for. Thanks!

PS3 controller with Sixaxis Controller but idk why Shield isn't good enough

Simply because he wants it plugged into the TV to use it as a Game-Box (like a Wii, an Ouya, etc), and wants a controller to sit back on the couch with for some big-screen Retro action. Not exactly great to have an HDMI cord hanging out of the back of your controller while you try to use it to play on the big screen.
However, I'll mirror the PS3 wireless controllers (mebbe PS4 too, but I have yet to try those so I can't comment). If you can't swing a BT controller then you can get a USB-OTG adaptor for the micro USB connector and plug an Xbox360 controller into that, works pretty well on my tablets and Ouya. However, wireless... PS3 sixaxis wireless controllers are generally the best, but there are some more than decent ones on the market otherwise.
So recently, I got the ePSXe emulator for my Nexus 7, mainly because I wanted to play Metal Gear Solid 1. But I'm sure that anyone whose played Metal Gear Solid 1 will remember about the Psycho Mantis boss fight. Yes. You remember the solution to that fight. Remember how you have to plug a new controller into the second controller port so Mantis can't read your actions and you can beat him.
Well, My Nexus doesn't have two controller ports, or a controller, or even a single controller port for that matter. I remember when I did this on the PC version, I plugged in a PS3 controller and plugged it out during the fight. That counted as changing the controller port, but I'm wondering how I could do this on a Nexus 7? You know a boss is tough when you have to spend about 5 hours out of the game just setting up the necessary materials to beat him.

try using an otg controller
What are you guys and gals using as far as gaming controllers. I have a PS3 and Xbox One controller at home. Just wondering if either can be easily used with the Tab S. Just purchased Modern Combat 5. So far I've played it on the G3 and Nvidia Shield.

controller recharges the tablet
is it possible to connect the controller (that has a battery pack) to the tablet and recharge the tablet?
eg. can a xbox one controller, that has a battery pack, be connected with an mhl cable/usb cable to a tablet and be used to charge the tablet?

Finally figured it out...just in time for my trip!
I ended up buying the Red Samurai controller from Gamestop for $15.
I am able to connect and use with retroarch. Just needed to install the free app, Bluez IME. Takes a bit of configuring but once it's set, the controller works flawlessly.
The app and retroarch even has a reconfigured profile for the controller.

Great suggestion. I'm thinking buy the Moga Pro but this is cheaper and it is more similar with PS controller.
Can you tell me if you can play in emulators such as the PSP emulator?
Has anyone tried an original xbox wireless controller with the receiver connected to the usb (via adapter)? The receiver seems to has power,
but the controller wont connect. PS3 controller works though.
my xbox controller doesnt work, as others have said. so how would I go about getting a ps3 controller to work? is it a wired one and can i pick up any cheap ps3 controller?

The sixaxis app does recognize my ps3 controller (afaik there are only wireless with optional cable), but only with cable plugged in. Bluetooth does not work, though the controller
has the right master adress.
Ok the problem seems to be the pairing. If paired from the tablet, it wont work... if paired from the pc, it works.
see I know sod all about the ps3 pad, I dont even know what pairing on the PC means or how you would set it up...
Hello!
Did anyone connect SteelSeries Free controller to the Tab S? I'm thinking about getting one and I would like to make sure that it will work.
Trying to pair red samurai wireless tablet controller with my tab s
the bluetooth can see the device, but when i select it to pair the device with my tablet, it asks me to confirm the PIN code for the device, which is displayed when i select to pair. But it fails to pair every time because I don't see any dialog box or anything pop up to enter the PIN code to pair successfully.

red samurai controller (GameStop)
Using the red samurai controller with all playstore emulators works well but with a little lag between button press and action.
BTW GameStop has it for 8 bucks and the tab recognizes it via Bluetooth no problem

The PS3 controller is the best way to go for me...
I bought the red samurai for $8 also just to play emulators..
The controller paid with no problems and I was able to map all the keys but the lag from button press to In game action was unbareable
The PS3 was fussy to set up but it's more 1to1 responsive..

If you are using the red samurai v2 you do not need blue imz, it should just work.. or at least it does for me. I also have not noticed any input lag even vs a usb controller I was using over usb otg until I decided I wanted to be able to charge and use a controller at the same time. I have also used the same red samurai v2 on my win 8.1 htpc just for testinf and it paired right away and worked with near 0 input lag.
Im just using sixaxis controller

Hello all,
I have a stock, non-rooted N6P. I've never attempted to play heavy gaming on it. I was wondering if I wanted to add a controller to play some games that may require it what would I need? A controller that I can add and remove, would allow me to play games better as I have bigger hands. Any help is appreciated!!
Figured this was the appropriate section to ask since the controller stuff would be accessories.
I use my PS4 controller for gaming on my 6P if you have the right cables and controller it recognizes it as a gamepad.
PS4 is the cheapest option if you already have a PS4 controller.
I have the Moga controller. It's a good controller. I play Modern Combat 5 a lot with it.

That's all because they both are Bluetooth. You can also use a (Xbox 360 or one, Steam, and etc) Controller if you don't mine using a otg cable. But do note that not all games work with an controller or may need you to map the controller out properly.
It's either a PS4 or Moga or whatever is out there. With a PS4 controller, you will need a clip that attaches from your controller to hold your phone, ps4 controller and USB C to Micro USB cable and that's it.
Or just a Moga controller and Bluetooth and its all set. Both are the same price if you do not have a PS4 controller.
I have both and I like the PS4 controller but the cable and the clip cost roughly $25ish and I got the Moga for $10 on Black Friday but if it wasn't on sale then PS4 controller would be my option.

Originally I tried connecting it via bluetooth using the Sixaxis Pair Tool but the controls where really laggy and not really functional. But with a wired connection going directly from the 6P to the controller it works perfectly.

Its a fairly simple set up, i used:
1. Standard micro usb cable
2. Usb type c to type a adaptor
3. Nyko Smart Clip (Optional)
Thank you everyone for the help. I'll be ordering the stuff this weekend! I'll let you know how it works when I get the items.

Could you tell me wich cables are you using? Mine doesn't work with Sixaxis controller app and I cannot use my DS4 .
MOGA Gamepads
What model of the MOGA gamepad have you guys gotten to work? I just tried with my MOGA Pocket and it won't pair with my 6P. Has anyone gotten the Pocket to work?
http://www.amazon.com/POWER-MOGA-Pro-Electronic-Games-Game/dp/B00FB5RBJM
Moga Power Pro.
It's $49.99 now so it's not a bad deal of you do not have a PS4 controller. A PS4 controller is already $50. Then cables and clip are about $15. What I like about the Moga is it works great and it can charge your phone too.

My phone recognises my ps4 pad in that I can move stuff about using it. But I don't know how to map it as described.
Fit example I was trying to play GTA but not all the controls were correct.
Any help?

So how's the clip mount? Do we have to mount 6p off center because of volume buttons? And is there any lag with Bluetooth connection?

I don't think the PS4 can be mapped. Also for the cable. You need a Micro USB to USB-C. Cannot use a OTG or it won't communicate.
The Moga has a nice clip. I just put the phone on and its all set. Doesn't affect the volume buttons unless it's the Google Adopted case which we all know it sucks.
It has this rubber grip film on it and it has a light spring tension on it. Enough to hold the phone but not adjust the volume.

For using a controller can you use a PS3 remote? Just curious because a family member has one laying around that they're not using.
I wouldn't mind a decent controller for my 6P, though I don't really want to use a wired connection.
I have a Gamestick controller (ingot the whole lot for £20) and it works OK, but obviously no clip.
Anyone know of any good alternatives to Moga that are similar? Seem to be hadd to get in the Uk.
You could also try a UtorCase for a handheld experience https://www.shapeways.com/product/ZEHXUVT25/ps4-controller-huawei-nexus-6p
xbox and nvidia controller mounts are available as well.
Samsung Galaxy S7/Edge controller found without root......
For all those people who are having a hard time finding a working controller for tge Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge..
I have a bunch of 3rd Party controllers laying around the house, one was a PC XBOX shaped controller made for lower grade games and that didn't seemed to work, tried the cord with PS3 controller and was not successful pulled pulled out PS4 Controller as I have read Previous threads they didn't seem to work and wanted to see for myself, then I tried the Xbox 360 controller and that didn't work after all, I haven't tried an Xbox one controller yet but will do when I get my hands on one......
Then I remembered there was a Logitech Wireless controller somewhere, I was looking all over the place for it......
Then my Dad came out with it and he said he was waiting for the right time to tell me, he knew where it was and was trying to find some leverage over me, I finally got it stuck it in my Samsung OTG and vwalah it bloody works, but only with some games.
Controller name: Logitech Wireless Gamepad F710
Supported Games:
Minecraft
Modern Combat
Neon Shadow
Will add more in the future or if someone has this controller they could add supported games and I'll give them a try.
you talking about wireless controllers? because the wired xbox one controller is working fine here with moonlight gamestream. didn't try it with mobile games tho.
I use a Moga controller in HID mode. I like it for my lego games.
