Hello all,
I have had my tablet now for a week and love it, but I need a controller and the shield controller is still to far out. So what controller are you using and which controller should I look at. Also would a blue tooth keyboard mouse work with game like half 2?
I have been looking into the Moga Pro, think I'm gonna go get one after work today and give it a try.
I've been using the Amazon Fire TV controller and it works great. Tried it on a lark and it worked without a hitch. All buttons and toggles work great including the dpad. Haven't tried the audio buttons or the button to access the web but all the relevant game buttons and triggers work flawlessly. Easy setup too. Turn on Bluetooth, sync controller. Done.
Alright thanks for the help I'll look at both those controllers and Dcaplinger if you end up getting the moga pro let me know how it works out.
Before I had the Shield controller I used the iControlpad and the Steelseries FREE controller. Both have nice dpads and the button presses feel like 1st party pretty much. Unfortunately they do not have L2/R2 buttons so when I needed them I used a PS3 controller.
I'm currently using the Moga Pro controller and it's working well for me. I haven't ran into any problems yet. The cheapest one I heard that works so far is the Gamestop one for like $15.
I haven't tried console mode yet since I haven't bought the HDMI cable, but if you're planning to using console mode then the NVIDIA control might be the way to go as it has the touch keys. I read other users say it's quite a pain with regular bluetooth controls. (Only from what I read, so take that into account).
Im yet to find anything that works better then a ps3 controller.

How did you get it to work with Trine 2 or Unearthed Trails of ibn Battuta? BTW I'm connecting via USB as I found if connected to BT I can't play any nvidia grid games which is another issue.
Anyone have experience with the Nyko Play Pad controller?

If this was a response to me, that's what I mean when I said I'm connected via USB. Ps3 controller is so limited.

Yup plays great on the Grid. I had to remap some of the buttons on some of the games to match though. But I can't get it to work with trine or unearthed.

I'd say just definitely go with the Shield controller, I have the Moga Pro which I had bought for my Tegra Note which has now been replaced by the Shield Tablet, I really didn't like the Moga Pro at all, pain to setup, didn't like how it felt, it felt cheap, and it just sits there collecting dust now. I got my Shield controller last Monday though and totally love it, I love it so much in fact that I really hope someone comes up with a way to use it as a PC controller since it really is such a great controller and definitely worth the premium price over the Moga Pro.

Thanks for the recommendation. I almost got a moga too. Just checked best buy and it's back in stock so I ordered one.

I know there is that thread for the Xbox controller, but how about ps3, can that connect wirelessly? Or even with the cord? Is the only thing I need to get this working is a USB OTG deal?
Also what games are you guys using with these controllers, I know a lot of people are using emulators, but what apps are you using to get them and the ROMs? Also besides emulators, what other games are working well with controllers?

Yea man this is pretty sweet. You just have to map the keys correctly and it works flawlessly. I like the feeling of the ps3 controller more than my xbox 360 controller.

Do you map it through android settings or what? I had a wiimote hooked up when i got the Xoom, but pretty much just to test it. I wasn't ver thrilled. But for that there was an app since it was wireless.

I was curious about this too. The 3.1 update comes with the additional keylayout files for the controllers and their mappings (there's even one for a logitech racing wheel) so would you really NEED to remap them?

He must be talking about remapping in the emulators themselves. The 3.1 update, even if it does have full profiles for the various compatible controllers, will only map keys in the OS itself. Programs that support the profiles will work automatically, or that happen to use the same keys i.e. just because the triangle button on the dualshock is mapped to "g" doesn't mean that SNESoid automatically maps the y button to g. This is what I would expect the case to be, anyway
I have the dock and have plugged in my ps3 controller but I cant seem to figure out how to get it to work... any suggestions? There is a video out there but it is in french.

Did you make sure to power on the controller with the PS3 button in the middle?
I had to try a few time to get it to work because it kept turning on the PS3.
Sure did. Works great but I think we can buy any El cheapo controller now. I wonder how the analog sticks work n64 emu or ps2 emu.

my generic PS3 style controller does not work on the transformer, I get a green power light, but it doesn't work in any app or game.
official PS3 controllers are still £36 for a second hand one in Game or Gamestation, so I havent got one yet to try.
I got my OTG USB cable and mice etc. seem to work fine. Tried the wired xbox controller and while it is detected via the BT joystick test app, it wont work in any apps.
Tried another generic USB gamepad today and nothing, not even recognised in the test app.
So has anyone managed to get a gamepad working natively? The main reason I ask if that my mum likes to play the odd old arcade game (cool huh) and she would need gamepad support and wont bother if she has to pay out and configure another it all via another app!
thanks
guess not
I have gotten a wireless sixaxis controller to work via bluetooth, but my wired xbox controller will not work.

yeah if I could get one cheap then it would be great, my mum wont be up for spending a fortune
I have the same problem here. In my case I have generic USB controller and totally the tab and BT joystick test app cannot detect it. Did you manage to make it work?
For those who were able to get the game controller to work on tablet, which ROMS have the sixaxis program installed?

u can usea wiimote and a classic controller they are cheap
I'm not sure if a thread has been opened for this but the Moga Pro Controller is the best thing I've used for an all around android controller.
Can even fit the note 2 for mounting example with a phone.
Comes with Stand for tablets.
Connects using Bluetooth.
Multi device support
Internal battery with over 10 hour battery life (will have to double check but its a lot)
MOGA APP
DONATIONS ACCEPTED. THIS DOES TAKE TIME OUT OF MY DAY. A FEW DOLLARS TO BUY MY LITTLE KID A TOY OR TAKE OUT IS GREATLY APRECIATED

I almost got this but went with the gameklip instead. I have some really nice bluetooth headphones and using this would have made it impossible to use them. I'm glad you like it though.

What sorcery is this? I thought you could only have one bluetooth device connected at a time.
Oh well. I'm still happy with the gameklip.
The Moga app and in game support for many apps sets the Moga apart. Developers for new android games are incorporating the controller in there apps. No game clip or any other gamepad has had this versatility. Not to mention the new Samsung controller is suppose to come out but looks far to bulky.
Video to come shortly....
Stay tuned

Connection issues?
Is anyone else having connection issues with they're Moga Pro?
I just purchased one yesterday and I love it but I'm having some trouble with it and not sure if it's my rom/kernel or what... I'm running ARHD 9.3 and the ElementalX 0.11 kernel. The issues I'm having is that when playing games in Mode A the controller sometimes looses bluetooth connecting and won't reconnect until I exit the game and go back to the Moga app. I also had trouble setting it up to work with Mode A and Mode B. Using the Moga app to setup the controller I choose "Setup Mode A and Mode B" which had me sync Mode B first which worked fine but then when it got to syncing Mode A it just couldn't do it. So I cleared everything and tried just setting up Mode A in the Moga app and that worked fine. It just would not do both at the same time so right now I only had Mode A setup and when I want to use Mode B for emulators and stuff I have to unsync Mode A and then manually setup Mode B through the Android Bluetooth Connection settings which works fine.
BTW I'm using the new HTC One... I just noticed this thread was under the Samsung section. I was linked here from a post in the HTC One section.

Moga Pro by far. It has mode A and B. One for Play Store Games and one for Emulators. The Pocket only has one mode. The Pro also feels better.

I had the HTC One but I did not have a chance to test the Moga Controller on it. It may be the phone and Moga needs an update. If you have a custom Rom and Kernel it is highly likely that could be causing your issue. Do a Backup of your ROM and try Stock to test and see.
Glad I got rid of the HTC One I had because there was a dead pixel and I even still can not find the stock HTC One Rom

It's a bit cheaper than the gameklip and ps3 controller together. I think the ps3 controller wins though.

For Root users I agree, but ONLY for Root users. The Moga is a better situation for Android going forward.
I just got one recently. Only 10 bucks, so I couldn't pass it up. Things seem to work pretty well, but some games like asphalt 7 that work fine on the ps3 remote plugged in with USB, but not with the GS controller. Also anyone know if the analog joysticks are really analog? Any tips and tricks anyone like to share? Is it with getting six axis app? Will it work with this controller? Is there an alternative?
