I just got Samsung's OEM 30 pin to usb adapter in the mail (yay!) to use with my USB controller for emulators. Sadly, I can't figure out how to get it to work. I have the Logitech F310 controller, and when I plug it in, my Tab does say "USB device connected." However, emulators aren't recognizing any button presses.
Also, the "mode" button on the controller doesn't light up when I push it. I'm wondering if either it's not supplying 5V of power to the controller or if I need some sort of app/driver for it. The adapter does work with my flash drive, though.

From my experience most emulators require a physical button press, even when I use my sixaxis controller I have to give each button a keyboard value (like R1 is actually like pressing 0 on keyboard) that's the only way the emulator knows you are pushing a button.... maybe there is a program to map your controller buttons to key values, back in the day I remember using a program in windows called joytokey that allowed me to use my usb computer joypad in dosbox, maybe you can dig around and see if there is an android equivalent for usb controllers... if not you can always use a wiimote or sixaxis, as long as you have a custom rom installed like CM7 (which I am running), they wont pair on stock rom because the bluetooth stack doesn't support them.
SGT+CM7=:-D

GTab Sprint flavor, nonrooted, EF17 so Bluetooth HID
My Mogo mouse (expresscard size, flat) works perfectly and is superconvenient. However, it only charges in an Expresscard slot. I have an expresscard-USB adapter, and also have an extra plug for the socket at the bottom of my GTab.
I'd like to fabricate an adapter that will pull power from the GTab and enable charging of the Mogo mouse via its Expresscard adapter. Of course, I'm assuming that the GTab's power appears at that connector - I haven't checked. If not, I'll have to crack the case and run power to a pair of unused pins.
Has anyone done anything like this? Any problems?

WISH these mice had micro usb right!?
I was hoping to write Newton Peripherals and ask them to do this, but no luck. Seems they've been bought by ID8-mobile (their website doesn't seem to be real) and ID8 was in turn bought by AAC technologies (but they don't seem to list the Newton line e.g. Mogo mouse....
Does yours really work perfectly? I love the mouse and so bought 4 of them and they all seem a bit flaky... e.g. sometimes the mouse cursor doesn't move quite right, sometimes the mouse become unresponsive, sometimes it won't do anything... othertimes, it works great.
This is my setup to charge Mogo mouse from galaxy note 2. If you have a straight USB Host, should be a lot easier - though I'd use a male-female usb extension cable 2 inches maybe and velcro the expresscard adapter to the back of the tab so as to reduce strain on the usb host port.
Hello Members, i'm not a developer, but have a Note GT - N7000 uk version running Gingerbread 2.3.6. , so i would very grateful for you help.
I've bought two 'USB On The Go' adapters, one was not Samsung, one is. When i plug in any adapter the phone see's it, if i plug in a mouse or keyboard, wired or wireless the phone reads it saying...keyboard connected or Mouse connected, but no mouse pointer appears, nor does the keyboard types anything.
If i plug in any USB flash drive, it is always read and i can see all the files.
What's going on? I get the feeling ther's nothing mechanically wronge with the phone, but feel it maybe a data issue.
A bluetooth keyboard or mouse has no problems working, but using a keyboard/mouse this way seem's less responsive via bluetooth, than USB wireless.
I've included a screenshot from my 'about' screen, any help would be really helpful.
Kind regards
Livio
I tried many keyboards via OTG cable. It seems the only workable is the logitech (without integrated touchpad).
I'm now using a bluetooth keyboard (chinese manufacturing) working very well, in order to leave free the mini-usb and put it on the hdmi adapter.
I can plug a USB mouse in and the pointer shows up and it works.
I've only tried 1 USB keyboard and it didn't work.
It was an old Acer (I think) and it had a lot of lights, so I'm not sure if it required too much power for the Note...
I also read that you might need to turn the phone off, plug in the keyboard and then boot the phone up with the keyboard plugged in.
But that was after I had access to the keyboard to try.
So for me, mouse works, keyboard doesn't.
I just plugged the keyboard and mouse in out of curiosity.
I have a BT mouse and I've ordered a BT keyboard and hoping that will arrive in about a week.
Thanks for the replies, i tried a few keyboards and mouse makes, and i even tried the 'switch off /switch on' method with no luck, what's strange is that it see's the items plugged in but the mouse pointer doesn't appear even though the screen kind of does a quick refresh as if the pointer was going to show.
My conclusion is that it can only be Gingerbread, i'm guessing that when the ICS update finally gets offered for download, wireless keyboards and mice will work, i've done the same as yourselves and just bought a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, both different and reputable makes so i hope that they work ok.
Regards

I just tried another USB keyboard is found lying around the office and it works fine using the otg cable.

I'm trying to connect a SNES controller through USB from a hub to my TP. When connected, the TP sees the controller and I can map all the buttons except for the D-pad. Has anyone else tried this? I tried this on the latest cm9 nightly and a previous build of SCHIZOID.
Perhaps the D-Pad input is being presented as a joystick or POV hat instead of buttons. Plug your SNES adaptor into a PC and see if you can map it on there.
Thanks for the reply. I should probably clarify on a few things that I've tried.
My set up is this: TP -> USB OTG cable -> USB Y Cable -> hub -> SNES controller (I'll try to post a picture when I get home)
The above setup will work on my phone (note II). All the buttons would map correctly, even the DPAD UP, DPAD DOWN, DPAD RIGHT, and DPAD LEFT.
The USB OTG cable + SNES controller will work on my phone since it's self powered.
I can not connect gamepad with touchpad build of SCHIZOID.but mouse and keyboard are okay.
I try to find and i know kernel isn't included joydev.ko.then I download joydev.ko of Galaxy S2,copy into touchpad
I use terminal to run:
su
insmod joydev.ko.
result is "Exec format error"
Can anyone tell me how to connect gamepad with touchpad?
Thanks.
anybody know of a decent dock that will serve as a stand and offers a keyboard w/ trackpad? i just got my n7 and ordered one of these http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009WSCW4S/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 with it and i'm finding that the touchscreen is pretty awkward to use while it's docked. i've scoured amazon for something more suitable with no luck so i thought i'd ask the hive mind. if no such dock exists i should be able to pair a bluetooth mouse or touchpad at the same time right?
Wow... No answers? LoL!! Um... just in case others come looking, you can pair a bluetooth mouse with it. I was looking at that very keyboard dock today. I want one. LoL!! My plans was to use a USB OTG and a wired USB mouse. I may invest in a bluetooth mouse, though.
One thing I've tested before was using a USB OTG: connecting a USB Splitter to it: Then connecting a mouse and keyboard to the splitter. This works. The only issue here may be power. Sometimes the keyboard wouldn't work, or sometimes the mouse wouldn't work. Other times both work fine. I'm lucky enough to have a USB to USB cable, so I plug one end into a power source, laptop, wall adapter, etc, then the other end into one of the splitters. This will give power to the keyboard, mouse and Nexus.
Specifically, has anyone had luck with the Xbox One controller? I heard it worked, so of course I went out and bought a controller mount and a couple OTG cables. But of course, it doesn't even begin to work. I'm wondering if there's something I'm doing wrong -- I'm connecting the OTG cable to my phone, plugging a micro USB cable into the USB 2.0 female end of the OTG cable and plugging that into my controller.
I know it works with PS3 controllers -- I don't want a PS3 controller, though. Nor do I want to buy a new controller, especially a wired Xbox 360 controller. Any ideas?

In order for a device to "work via otg", that device needs to be supported by other software running on the device, including a kernel driver (probably not present), and sometimes a userspace driver (definitely not present).
In a brief google search, it seems that the driver you are looking for may be called something like "xpad" or "xboxdrv". The latter has a kernel AND userspace component, both of which are NOT installed on your phone.
If you want to make it work, you will need to recompile the kernel with the necessary driver built in, AND build the userspace driver (may not even be trivial to compile this).
no idea about the xbox one controller but a wired 360 controller works with my nexus 6 and 10, i can navigate through android and i can map keys with drastic ds emulator which is what i use it for, dont know about other game
