I know that some other guy mentioned this in another thread, but I thought I'd make a new post to spread the word:
I just bought the Nyko PlayPad Pro, and it is the perfect controller for the Nexus Player.
The reason for this is that it has a switch on the back where you can switch between Controller and Mouse.
Mupen64 and other emulators require a mouse for initial setup, and this is why Nyko PlayPad is so great. No need for that special USB-Cable or anything. No Root required.
The Nyko connects wirelessly to the Nexus Player via Bluetooth out of the box.
Have fun!

I picked up two of these for $12 each at my local gamestop, this was a steal, they do work perfectly.

My main goal here is to have 2-4 dual shock style controllers to use with FPSE and the yongzh nesoid,snesoid and the other "oid" emulators to play wirelessly and via HDMI out
I currently have the Datel Wii retro classic which is nice because bluetooth is built in and it works with the Wiimote controller APP for the other emulators,however its not supported in FPSE and finding a 2nd controller is difficult.
the MSI BGP100 doesnt have analog controls and Zeemote doesn't seem ideal for PlayStation emulation.
Icontrolpad seems really nice. but not for over $100 shipped to the US for just 1. and it doesn't seem like its ideal for playing on a TV and much to expensive for additional controllers
PS3 bluetooth support would be the most ideal but it hasn't seem to have happened on android yet. though it has for linux and windows and i believe windows mobile. there once was someone working on this but i cant find the thread. does anyone know what happened or what we can do to help this along?
the final option is USB hosting gamepad support. Ive seen this working with a PS3 dual shock controller on a zoom and other tablets so it seems reasonable that it could work on the G2X.
has anyone got gamepad USB hosting working with CM7? it would be great if you could use a USB hub and connect 1-4 controllers for PS1 and games like mario cart ect
even better if USB support does indeed work you could have a USB hub and 2 wireless 2.4 controllers for a portable game console...though still not as ideal as PS3 bluetooth
If the 2x supports the HID bluetooth profile, then the Phonejoy will work - heres my demo with the HTC Sensation (forward to 3:30):
More info here including stuff on the new Phonejoy version with analog sticks!
PhoneJoy will work, Im still waiting for the first version of the analog sticks to become available. Not as Ideal as a legit BlueTooth PS3 but the next best thing
The dual stick version is worth waiting for, I have one (proto sent for review), there is an SGSII demo video in the link I provided beneath that youtube video.
I saw the vid of the analog pads and they look pretty good. The analog sticks arent as accurate as I would like.In golden Eye for N64 it looked hard to get an accurate shot.Im definitely in for 2 analog pads when they are ready But Ill probably eventually go with the PS3 via bluetooth if that ever gets working

That's because the emulator isn't coded to accept a true analog signal from the gamepad, although the makers of the Phonejoy say that it is capable of that. Its particularly noticeable in Goldeneye because that game relies heavily on the pressure sensitive N64 analog stick for aiming.
I guess that even if the PS3 does work at some point, the emulator would still need to be coded to work with full analog input from the sticks.

even better news!
I already have the datel retro wireless controller which works great for games that have similar controller layouts as the SNES but I would like to get a USB controller that will have a similar layout to the Genesis or Saturn with the three buttons next to each either. Any help in finding a good controller would work for me. I even have some original genesis controllers so if there is a good USB to DB9 adapter out there for the genesis that works with the transformer I would be happy about that.
Also if anyone has any recommendations for an N64 like adapter that works with the transformer I'm all ears. Thanks everyone.

genesis adapters exist but they are rare
The Retrolink Saturn controllers work fine when plugged into the dock.
http://www.amazon.com/Retrolink-Sat...IPAY/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1315777475&sr=8-7
The button and d-pad quality is really poor, though. If you have an original Saturn controller lying around, you can take it apart and switch the PCB with the one in the USB controller, making for a very nice authentic feeling USB controller.
Thanks both of you for the replies. Have you personally had success using the N64 adapter with the transformer or know anyone who has? I read a lot on the Saturn piece swapping and it looks fairly easy. Thanks.
I use a Logitech M505 nano mouse with with the TF101, works fine for me but with the nano receiver plugged in the port cover is in danger of being damaged.
So looking at the possibility of using the little used Bluetooth, I came a cross the Logitech Tablet Mouse for Android™ 3.1+
Unfortunately it is not available here in the UK and Logitech will not ship to the UK.
The code on the support page is M-RCQ142 and tried a search on the UK Logitech site and it came up with a "470 Cordless Laser Mouse for Bluetooth".
My question, is this the same mouse and would it work with the TF?
The Price is £34.99
I have a 470 and it works great with the tf. I suspect that the "tablet mouse" is just a rebranded 470 since they look exactly the same and there shouldn't be any functional difference between them.
tl;dr: yes, go for it.
Thanks for the quick reply.
Ordered a 470 direct from Logitech UK, got a 20% discount for trading in an old mouse.
One more question, are there any settings required on the TF?
You'll just need to pair it in the bluetooth settings, like you would a headset or any other BT accessory. Besides that, its pretty much plug and play. Even the scroll wheel works in all four directions.
I have a Rocketfish 4-Port HDMI Selector with Remote and about a month after I bought it, the remote stopped working properly. It works when it wants to - except that recently the remote decided not to work at all (yes, I changed the battery). There are no Rocketfish replacement remotes to be had, and the only other option seems to be an investment in a Logitech Harmony Remote, which some people have reported works with the Switcher. But I am not sure about spending big bucks for a remote that might not work . . .
So, I just want to report that the app Touchsquid Remote Demo works perfectly and is a great (and free to try) replacement to the Rocketfish remote.
It took a bit to set up, but now it works perfectly.
Thought I'd pass this along to anyone with a Rocketfish HDMI switcher and no remote.
Nice to hear that it works, but it looks as if it's free for only 21 days, after which you have to upgrade either to TS Universal Remote Samsung ($19.00) or TS Remote Pro for Samsung ($49.00). Seems a little pricey to me.
Yes. It is only a free trial. But even so, the upgrade is cheaper than a mid level Harmony Remote.
I'll keep looking and report any other finds.

I am thinking of adding a keyboard for my fire HD 10 tablet 2017.
I am thinking of two options.
1. Bluetooth keyboard
https://www.amazon.com/Arteck-HB030...pID=51K3rbjy8rL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch
2. using my Logitech K400 keyboard. It has a unifying reciever. I am thinking of buying a OTG adapter reader.
https://www.amazon.com/Inateck-Adap...qid=1519484873&sr=1-18&keywords=micro+usb+hub
I am thinking I can connect the unifying reciever to it, and that way I can use my keyboard, (which has an included trackapad) on the fire tablet.
My question is :
1. Will the unifying receiver K400 combo work?
2. Will the trackpad works (does it show an arrow?)
3. Should i just get the Bluetooth keyboard instead, and how the Bluetooth connectivity?, (no dongle , no mouse
4. Any Bluetooth keyboard anyone would like to recommend??
Thank you.
I got this for my dad's 10": https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GIZHR2A/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
My review and pictures are under the review titled "Great value". I haven't had any issues with it (neither has my dad) and the keyboard feels pretty close to a full size layout.
I've been able to use a Bluetooth keyboard with a built-in trackpad with my HD 8 on 5.6.0.1.
I've also been able to use a separate USB mouse and keyboard simultaneously with an OTG cable and a USB hub. If the receiver works on another device (e.g. laptop), then it should work with an OTG cable.
If you carry around your tablet different places a lot, just go all Bluetooth if you can.
I'd suggest going Bluetooth as well. You can get cases with keyboards built in that connect via micro usb really cheaply, but they are more aggravation then they are worth. I bought one for my mom's 8" HD and I could instantly tell that bluetooth was the better option. I wound up buying a Logitech Type-V case for an Ellipsis 8 (because it was only $8 at Walmart), made some adjustments and so far so good.
I bought a Bluetooth XTREME keyboard at a National Wholesale Liquidators store in the NYC area a few weeks ago. They were about to be sold out. It was selling for $12, with no refunds. Took a chance on it, and it works perfectly with my 2017 fire hd 10. My tablet is attached to the FINTIE case.

Nice! Glad that worked out for you. I'm an Long Islander- there's a National Wholesale Liquidators a few towns away. I'll have to drop in when I get a chance
Bluetooth keyboard.
I bought (in Lidls) a SilverCrest keyboard for £15 which works very well.
I don't think that the USB dongle would work, mainly because Android is using a VERY similar kernel to Linux (almost identical) which is why we have SuperUser hacks.
Linux requires the use of drivers to do really anything, but Android isn't Linux and doesn't have any native driver support.
Best bet is to use a Bluetooth keyboard, and don't worry there is literally no latency. It works amazing.

It also works on my mom's HD8, apparently. That being said, the keyboard and USB dongle were already paired on my PC

I recently got a new Logitech 9-10" Tablet Keyboard Case Universal Folio since I got another Fire HD 10 on Prime day. It's not worth the retail price or the $32 Amazon is asking for it since it doesn't fit the tablet perfectly- the grips will apply pressure to the volume or power switch. I put a few pieces of foam on the grips to prevent that from happening and it works well enough. I got it new for $18 from a seller on Ebay. They have 9 more if anyone is interested: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Logitech-9...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
I actually had a Logitech Ultra thin Bluetooth Keyboard that was for the iPad 2 packed away and it actually works very well with my Fire HD 10 (2017). I use it with Office and WordPress.
anything like this?
Is anything like this type https://www.brydge.com/products/brydge-10-5-ipad-pro-keyboard available for the hd 10?

Not that I know of. I wouldn't be surprised if a generic equivalent was around for Android tablets but you will have to make sure of the dimensions.
I have the Logitech K400 and have the Unifying Receiver plugged into a OTG USB cable. My Fire 10 will not open the onboard keyboard with it plugged in, but neither will it record keystrokes from the K400. Not sure what the problem is.
