Wifi game controller for WM5?

Once on youtube I saw a video of a wifi game controller connected to a Dell Axim. I'd like to purchase a wifi game controller that I can connect to my WM5 phone (WS003SH) but I would like to find out what software is necesary and if any wifi controller can work with any WM5 device. Thank you all for your help!
Anyone familiar with this hardware/software? Can I connect a wifi video game controller to a WM5 device?
No one is interested in playing games with a wifi controller?
not sure what you mean but a wifi controller
never come across the term before the wii cntrls and ps3 i belive use bluetooth
never heard of a game controller which operated using wireless eathernet as protocol
There's a bluetooth gamepad http://www.tangshop.com/bluetooth-game-pad-bgp-100.html a little expensive for my taste though.
Ah, I should have figured it was a bluetooth controller. Thank you all for your help!

Acelerometer + wireless Keyboard/Mouse BT to other devices?

Is it possible to have Touch Pro function as a wireless bluetooth keyboard for other devices? How about have the accelerometer function as a wireless air mouse... Like logitech has?
Say connect to laptop or even a PS3?
Would it require specific installs on the remote device?

Google TV USB-UIRT commands

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.

[Q] Working on converting to android

so have a note2 and enjoying it... issue is getting media to my other devices. Currently I have an ipad1 sitting under my audio receiver connected via usb and it allows me to control spotify with my universal remote as if the receiver and ipad were one. I am thinking about buying a nexus 10 but I use my tabs for mostly media and ebooks. I want the sound and possible video (all streamed... spotify, netflix, google music, pandora) to somehow make it to my receiver and if it is video obviously make it to my tv. My receiver is a yamaha rx-373 (have a rx-473bl in the mail with networking abilities)
The solution I am looking at would preferably be something close to airplay or being able to connect my device through usb and control it with my universal remote or connect via hdmi but still charge my device. Ideal solution is being able to output everything over wifi to a receiver (maybe samsung allshare dongle) attached hdmi to my yamaha receiver. I just have no clue if that dongle will work with non samsung devices and if it will completely mirror my device.
Anyways this is what I am looking for and wasnt really trying to spend a bunch of money in trying things and paying return shipping on multiple things for what kind of knowledge probably is available here.

HMDI connected Android TV Box

Hi folks,
I´m not quit sure if it is an Android problem or a problem with my box.
When I switch off the TV when the box is connected via HMDI the box goes "off" (switching off sound for example) is there a way or setting to keep it on? So I can switch off TV and keep spotify for example on?
Yes!

Yes! I use my Chromecast in this way. What you need is an HDMI pass through device, like a stereo tuner. I have both a Chromecast and Roku dongle plugged into the HDMI ports on my tuner (it has a total of 4 hdmi ports) . A single HDMI cable then runs from the tuner to the TV. The sound comes out of my stereo speakers, not the tv, and I use the stereo's remote control to switch inputs (the TV itself is never changed from its HDMI1 input). This allows me to listen to the audio without having the TV turned on. Tuners with HDMI pass through can be expensive, but I got lucky and found one, virtually brand new with 4 HDMI inputs, at my local Good Will for $65.

I found a solution which might work. You need to "block" pin 19 from HDMI which reports powersaving / energy modes. I just need to try it at home
