May Flash N64 Controller Adapter for PC USB - Works, using it alongside my Mupen64 Emulator
The NP works with Bravia sync and the Sony tv remote. You can navigate with the arrows, play, pause etc. I figured this out by accident.

Xbox 360 Wireless controller: works with the official wireless PC adapter. I've tested 4 controllers. Button mappings aren't the same as Bluetooth HID. R/L bumpers act as the R/L triggers. R/L triggers act as the X/Y axis of the right analog stick (mouse simulation). Other discrepancies.
Nexus Player Gamepad - Not perfect either. Uses standard Bluetooh HID mappings, but lacks a proper start/select button. Does not work properly with Soul Calibur.

Nyko Playpad Pro works perfectly, got 2 of them for $12 at gamestop:
http://www.gamestop.com/android/accessories/nyko-play-pad-pro-tablet-controller/104098
Another Controller...
Two things to add to the list of things that work....
* The Gamestop Red Samurai. It is listed on their site as "Tablet Wireless Game Controller V2", here: http://www.gamestop.com/android/accessories/tablet-wireless-game-controller-v2/104425 I like it because it is $12 and has a rechargeable battery. I have a pair of these. I have only had issues in one game, but I have not tried too many of the games with this controller. Warning, when I went into the store, the two employees there had no idea what I was talking about, I brought up the web page, showed them the product and that they had it. I have been to two game stops that had it, and it is always in the back room, very odd...
For Remote:
* Logitech Harmony Smart Control. This is the fairly current one, it has a little black WiFi enabled emitter and a simple remote. I was able to get it to talk with my Nexus Player and I can do everything that I can do on the regular remote. Works great.

I believe the high-end Harmony (ultimate?) can also connect via bluetooth and registers as a bluetooth keyboard, which is pretty sweet.

harmony smart and harmony ultimate
both use the exact same hub
just different remote
all communication is done at the hub
the smart is working for me (with a workarround tutorial posted in the harmony forum)
(basically you add a windows pc and tell it you have a bluetooth keyboard, then map the keys in the activity)

I had to clear it's state. Power it on. Then press and hold the select button for 3 seconds. Then after that click the NES30 option on the nexus player to pair the device. It should work after that.
Ok I tried that last night and it would pair but then unpair a minute or 2 later. It would work and then I could load up a rom. However, 1 minute into the game it would unpair. It is a brand new controller.

I haven't noticed it disconnecting. I'll use it for a longer period and let you know my results.

I'm having a couple of issues with the button mapping. My play/pause aren't fulling working. How did you set this up? Did you pick Windows PC or what bluetooth device did you assign the controller for?
Thanks

yes thats correct
you can also map all the buttons in the harmony app
i have stop ff rw and a bunch more working
only one i cant seem to map is the letter (C)
as you need that in xbmc for contect menu to schedule a recording or delete one
OUYA Controller
went out and bought an ouya controller based on this thread
the description of it working with some games as exceptions is a bit misleading
its very flaky, disconnects frequently, sends incorrect button presses randomly, and just stops sending commands out of no where. as an example the trigger is used for gas in a car game, every 5-10 seconds you need to release and pull again or the car stopps as the trigger acts like its not connected.
now before you blame the ouya controller or the batteries
i have connected it to my nexus 72013, my nexus 5, my nexus 7 and my nexus 4
it works perfectly on all of them
and the nexus 5 and nexus 7 2013 are on lolipop 5.0
so the issue is with the nexus player rom
my nexus player itsself is not defective
all other bt devices (remote, keyboard, mouse) work fine without disconnect
to anyone thinking of buying an ouya controller based on this thread
dont waste your money
just wait for the asus controller to arrive
(too bad they dont sell them in stores, i hate online orders always 2-3 weeks to arrive)
Also the "measy rc11 air mouse" works very well (I have one that I used on a mini PC mk808)

I have a cheap USB IR receiver that came with a small remote, which I bought for my HTPC setup (that looks like this). I never got around to using it with my HTPC (Win7), but since I bought a Sony NSZ-GT1, I thought I will give it a try, and was surprised that it was even got recognized (for those who are not aware, this setup comes with a RF remote, so you can't control it from multi-function remotes such as Logitech Harmony). I got only a few buttons to work reliably, mainly the arrows for navigation and OK for selection, but a few other buttons were getting relayed to my Dish receiver via the IR blaster. I was even able to wake it up using the remote, which is great. Since the remote only has a limited set of buttons, my guess is that Google TV already has support for a lot more commands that my remote doesn't know how to emit. I am planning to do some more experimentation with this, perhaps add a Logitech Revue as a device to my harmony and see how compatible those commands are with this device. If anybody has already tried something like this and had success, I would love to hear more.
Hi,
I have been lurking around the interwebz to find a cheap compatible shield gamepad which works over bluetooth. So far i came across Nyko Playpad pro and Moga Pro. The main issue here is that none of the above is available in my country. So far the gamepads i have tried are below;
PS3 Sixaxis (USB, Bluetooth with Sixaxis app)
Works fine over USB, however while using over bluetooth, the dpad doesn't function. If anyone has a solution to this, this will be the best option.
Xbox 360 Controller (USB)
Works fine as it should.
Does the wireless controller works fine with receiver connected to shield with OTG cable? I read somewhere that is also causes the same type of DPAD symptoms.
Does regular wireless keyboard/mouse combos which comes with thr own usb wireless adapter will work with the shield or do i need to buy a bluetooth only device?
Does the Plugable USB to ethernet adapter is a must for full hd streaming? If yes, does every game streams in FHD or just the supported ones? Or it is just upscaled 720p? I installed Bioshock Infinite to test over wifi (Dual Band N600) and i noticed improvements in detailing of the game and graphics if i set the game resolution from 720p to 1080p? Is thr anyway to stream FHD over wifi ?
Of all your questions, I can only confirm that wireless Keyboard/Mouse works. I'm using a logitech combo that uses those small usb receivers. The Nyko playpad pro 2 is fully compatible according to Nvidia. Don't know about the others, i've read from others that Moga and Madcatz work. I use my Dalshock 3 with sixaxis app, but i didn't try the d-pad. i'll try it out and report back if it works for me.
The DPAD is like mirroring the left analog stick. Please test the issue with native games and gamestream also and thanks for reporting the functionality of keyboard/mouse combo.

No problem. and sorry for not responding sooner, didn't saw the notification e-mail. Anyways, i tested my Dualshock 3 and yes my D-pad works well but only plugged in, while over bluetooth it seems to mirror the left stick.
Here's the thing, I can't seem to find an answer to this question anywhere on the web. I'd like to be able to play two player games using the Nvidia Shield as controller one and my Bluetooth controller as player two. Currently I'm using the Nyko Playpad Pro and I'm running Mame4droid 1.6. I went through all the setups in the emulator settings, But when connected both the Shield and the Bluetooth controller are recognized as player one and are mirrored. I can't seem to force the Playpad controller into the #2 position on the top, and i'm also trying to avoid buying a second controller as the one on the Shield works much better than the Playpad. I'm only using the Playpad for player two. Anyone know if there's a work around or fix for this?
Hi guys, sorry if thisis the wrong section cause this is half accessorie half troubleshoot.
Now to the part, that is bothering me.
Since, the dock has a built-in OTG port, i planned on playing some Asphalt 8 and PS1 games on it.
I got a wired Gioteck VX1 PS3 Controller.
Here's the problem:
Booting up Asphalt 8, it says that a gamepad is connected. When the race starts though, al the buttons are dead.
After some time, i pressed all the buttons on my dock and some buttons are working on the game instead of the gamepad.
Booting the PS1 Emulator is a bit different though.
I can map all buttons, exept the Dpads and the left analog stick.
Tried, USB/BT JoyCenter and it recognizes my gamepad but nothing happens.
Any help, would be welcome.
Thanks for in advance.
Omay, i just got on my hands an OTG for my Galaxy S4.
I connect the usb controller and voila!
It works natively, without any other apps.
So maybe, the problem is on the dock?
It can't override it to work or something?
Bump.
Bump.

Hey,
i hope someone can help me with this Problem.
I want to play some games on my S6 using my Dualshock 4 controller. But there are some issue.
When i pair my controller usingthe built in Bluetooth, then the controller works just fine for like 15s, then all inputs become really delayed (delay ~2s), assumed an input is even recognized. If i toggle the Bluetooth off and on, pair the controller again, then same thing: 15s ok, then horrible lag.
It seems like, that the Bluetooth goes into some power saving mode, but i dont know it.
I tried some of the recommended apps (sixaxis, bluez IME,...) but they just dont work with this New device or are just outdated for the DS4.
