Hello guys, So i buy today a Otg usb cable with the hopes of been able to play with my old Logitech Cordless Rumblepad 2 but i can make it work.
I connect the Adapter and the light is on but the buttons dont do anything. is not a battery issue because the Gamepad works on my computer.
And i try other things like a Mouse and Pendrives Otg and work just fine.
Any suggestions?
PD: Im on Stock Kitkat without root or anything
PPD: I Try with my Ps3 Dualshock3 controller and the light start because is charging but anything happen when i press the buttons....
I find the OTG capabilities of Moto G rather disappointing. When I read about Android and OTG before buying this phone I thought most of it would work out of the box. I' ve been struggling with OTG most ofbthe time. Took me ages to figure out where to find usb stick. I would also like to connect a gamepad to my device. Wiimote are no longer supported one new JB as I soon found out and it seems you need to root your phone for sixaxis to work. Too bad, i dont want to buy an extra BT gamepad for my phone.
Indeed Disapointed, and seems like noneones cares too much to make a solution, i search everywhere i know in the internet and i dont find anything, seems like the only gamepad that works right away is the Xbox one controller (that i dont owne). a little help from the developers would be very nice.
at least a straight answer to this subjet...
I have a wired xbox gamepad connected to my pc. Havent tried it yet. Might give i a try.

After spending an hour modding my OG atrix lapdock to work wth my Atrix 2 with the specific purpose of being able to plug in a mouse and keyboard or controller to play Shadowgun: Dead Zone... I've discovered two things
1. or whatever reason the Lapdock's USB ports are not read by USB/BT Joy Center - so i cannot use the gamepad to touch mapping function
2. The Lapdock keyboard is being detected as a gamepad - having a game pad present disables touch in shadowgun games... so i can't even use the native mouse to spawn and THEN plug in my gamepad to play.
Does anyone have a solution for this other than getting a PS3 controller to map with Blue tooth? lol I dont have a ps3 I have a 360
Swift replies, much help offered. Best forum evar. Thousands of unanswered threads like this.
Just because your question isn't answered doesn't mean that it is ignored. It may simply be that there are not any other people who have attempted to do what your doing here... the Atrix 2 community is a relatively small one on XDA. I would try post in the Atrix 4G forums, the original atrix functioned the same way with shadowgun and the lapdock... perhaps someone there will be able to help you
I'm not sure if this will work the way you want, but perhaps you could only plug in the hdmi cable and leave the usb port disconnected. Then, attach a usb otg adapter or cable to run your controller. This would require dangling wires because you wouldn't be able to dock it anymore since you would need access to both ports. Or, you might be able to make a little pigtail with the usb cable out of the docking area and to an otg adapter/cable.
Sorry, I don't know enough of the software end to know how to disable the keyboard and get what you want. You could potentially disconnect the hardware of the keyboard/touchpad and then you would essentially have an hdmi monitor and two usb ports.
Good luck!

Actually have the same problem with that game, although mine was a usb controller for pc.
The bright side is that the old Shadowgun actually does works pretty good with the same controller, maybe the guys from Madfinger would apply it later to DZ.
EDIT: Shadowgun DZ had an update, where they included gamepad support.
But it's still buggy with lapdock, you have to chose NOT to detect HDMI cable (in display settings) before you connect the phone to the lapdock, connect your gamepad and use your phone display to play.
I'm sure there is a way to overcome that thing.
SO I read on here in a different section that some one did have some luck pairing a PS3 controller via an OTG cable, but here is where I have a problem, the OTG cable I have is mini to standard, not micro to standard, so the option I have would be sort of reversed. I would plug in the charging cable from my phone, plug the USB end of that into my OTG cable where it would connect to my PS3 controller at the other side.
I didn't see how there could be a problem with this but something doesn't seem right, I haven't been able to get it to pair.
I have tried USB/BT Joycenter and scanned for deviced both bluetooth and USB but nothing shows either.
Is there something I am missing? Do I need to reset the PS3 controller because it may be searching for a PS3? Or is it just not going to work and require root.
For the first time ever I have been hesitant to root a phone as I am quite liking this recent android version and just came back from the horrific windows phone. There are obviously still some connectivity issues in the Moto G so I wanted to wait until they were ironed out and then see how I felt about it.
If some one can enlighten me as to what I can do to fix this, Please explain in full, I don't want to just hear "You can't", If I can't, I want to know why I can't and some other people can.
Thanks, David
PS here's what I mean

I have absolutly no money, so even spending 2 bucks on a bluetooth dongle from ebay or something is out of the question. I don't even have a way to pay for things online so don't mention buying anything even if its dirt cheap.
I have a rooted Samsung Galexy Note II with Android 4.1.2, and of course bluetooth (works with PS3 controllers via the Six Axis app). While I can use a USB cable and DS3 tool with my PS3 controllers on the PC, I only have one working micro-usb cable and I rather like having a wireless controller now.
So is there any thing out there that could let me use my phone as a blue tooth reciever/dongle? I do have USB debugging enabled. I'm not afraid of doing some technical stuff, I can read and follow directions and I know a few things about computers and my phone.
For some odd reason my Bluetooth won't turn on anymore, so my controller is useless now.
I bought a xbox 360 gamepad to find out the device doesn't power it (and they won't even refund grrr). Could anyone who has a working WIRED controller share it's model? Just so I can buy one safely, knowing it'll work.
The Xbox gamepad stopped working with Lollipop for me. Used to work on Kitkat. So if you wanna go back...

I am on KitKat and it doesn't work already.
Odd. It used to work for me. Is this an MS original or a third party controller you're using. Also, this is a wired controller right? Not a wireless connected with a charger cable because that won't work.

An original MS controller for xbox 360. The 4 circle leds would just keep blinking together.
never ever worked on my 8.4 tab s, wired proper 360 controller.
such a shame as there are some good games like raiden as well as the emu stuff.

I'm not talking specifically about 360 controllers though. I'm asking if there's ANY wired controller that is known to work with this tablet. ANY brand.
Before I got my wireless bluetooth controller I was using a Game Elements Recoil model GGE909 over a dirt cheep usb otg adaptor. I never could get my usb Xbox controller to work so I just fell back on an old cheep usb one I had and it worked great aside from taking up a usb port. My galaxy tab s is the 8.4 wifi model so I can't guarantee it will work but it probably should with your 10.5.
360 Controller never worked, if you get a powered OTG adaptor it might work. Lots of people talk about the MOGA controllers as bluetooth controllers that work well.

For usb controllers and usb otg I tend to find the ones that don't need special drivers or programs to run on windows tend to work the best.
The bluetooth controller I got is the gamestop red samurai v2. Nice layout, good buttons and triggers(not analouge though), well placed analouge sticks for the few android apps that support those, and great compatability. Overall I really like it and best of all gamestop is getting rid of tablet accessories so they are dirt cheep.

ah I assume thats over in the US and not available here in the UK :*(
how much is dirt cheap as I do have some friends over there and if its that cheap, might be worth having one sent.
I picked up my near console (unlike the ouya) grade controller for $7.97 U.S. No clue what they cost online, but most of the gamestops that still have tablet accessories are selling those accessories cheaply to reduce inventory that the company is moving away from.
I found a keyboard on eBay that connects via micro USB, and it is meant to be used with a generic 7inches tablet. Before buying it I would like to be sure that the fire tablet has no limitations on the micro USB port, can anyone help me? I couldn't find a sure answer on google
this tablet supports USB OTG which means you CAN connect a pen drive, mouse, keyboard.. and I am almost 100% sure you can connect this keyboard BUT you may have problems with recognizing all keys on the keyboard or problems with different typing languages.. I guess you need to try it to know for sure.. and please let us know if you do..

Two success stories:
- Connected an inexpensive wired USB keyboard via cheap OTG adapter (here). Keyboard instantly/silently recognized. No soft keyboard on input fields. Disconnect the physical keyboard and soft keyboard immediately pops up. Elegant and effortless.
- Grabbed a wireless Logitech K360 attaching receiver to same OTG adapter. Worked perfectly! Instant wireless keyboard. No messing around with Bluetooth. Woohoo!!
I realize this is old news to anyone with a 'normal' tablet that natively supports OTG. First time I got it to work with a Fire (my daily driver is a HDX with lacks hardware support for OTG).
I've been using a Samsung BKB-10 bluetooth keyboard, which I grabbed for $10 on at&t's website a few weeks ago, and it works great!! Every button works.
I am running CM 12.1, so I can't vouch for the stock firmware, but it does work excellent on the CM rom posted here!!
Yes, I use a USB Hub and various devices at the same time on my Fire 7. All of them work - at the same time.
You can hook up a Keyboard and a mouse and a usb stick and a printer, that all of them will work just fine.
USB-OTG is beautiful.
Can you give more detail on the usb hub? I guess you need it to provide power and data pass through, but I can only find one or the other online

Can not power (charge) and use OTG devices simultaneously. It's one or the other.
