Playstation control question

Stupid question but has anyone tried a a PS2 controller with an OTG cable?
Also, if I do have to buy a PS3 controller, do I need to buy a seperate cable to plug it into the OTG adaptor?
Tack!

Hey there,
I'm not sure if the ps2 controller will work as all I have in house is deh ps3. I don't see any reason why not tho. Can anyone confirm?
In regards to the cable' as long as you have the micro USB otg adapter, then you can attach a regular USB cable with the mini USB(more rectangular shape looking, or like the one that charges the PS2 remote)) to the otg adapter....

Edit: I found this in another thread....... looks like the PS2 controller will
Work.
In order for a controller to work in games on Anrdoid, the controller should be naively supported from the OS?
Also, the Sixaxis app, is this only required for PS3 controllers over bluetooth? What if I get a wired controller that is said to be supported for the PS3; would this require support via Sixaxis, or Android?
I have some store credit for Walmart, and I noticed these controllers:
Snakebyte Sb00344 PlayStation 3 Wired Controller - Black (PS3)
Snakebyte Sb00344 PlayStation 3 Wired Controller - Black (PS3)
POWER A PS3 Pro Elite Wireless Controller
The first one is a wired PS3 controller. The other two rely on a wireless signal over a USB adapter. Would any of these happen to work naively on Android? I'm not entirely sure how the first controller interacts with the PS3 exactly over USB, but perhaps when plugged into a computer, it would be detected as a normal controller, and work fine? The other two may have less of a chance at working, but idk...
Edit: A PS2 controller through a cheap PSX-to-USB hub from Radioshack back in 2002 seems to work fine mostly, except the right analog stick is mapped wrongly in Dead Trigger (left and right go up and down, up and down goes left and right).

Don't buy the knockoffs

Hey guys, just wanted to ask, my ps3 controller connects via otg, the lights power on, however I cannot play any games with it. I'm not rootedyetbso I can't use wireless connection.

Please check out the sixaxis app for PlayStation controller, endless customizing and I can walk anyone through it if needed

I know I can use six axis for wireless but I don't want that just yet. I'm asking for a wired connection via otg.

[Q] USB Gamepad/Controller

Does anyone know of a USB gamepad or controller that works with the nook color? Preferably something with a D-Pad and Thumbsticks.
I have this, but I can't seem to get the nook to recognize it:
Frisby Dual Vibration PC Computer USB Game Pad Joy Controller
I connect the controller with this:
Micro USB OTG to USB 2.0 Adapter*
*BTW, I do not recommend this adapter because the microUSB part does not fit nicely in any device I plug it into. I bought 4 and they are all the same. I have been able to get thumb drives to work with this adapter so I don't think it's the adapter.
I am running CM7:

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

From a quick search on Google, I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459892
I never owned a USB Controller similar to that, so I can't really help you.
Or maybe instead of using a USB Controller, you can use Bluetooth? If you have a Wii Remote, or PS3 Controller, that would work perfectly.

Thanks for the reply RoboticBuddy.
I had seen that thread before, but for whatever reason, I did not see that second post with the list of USB controllers. I have been able to get a PS3 controller working via Bluetooth, but I'd really like a USB controller so that I can use it on an airplane.
I'll try to get one of those controllers listed and report back.

Alright, no problem! And good luck!

Has anybody had luck with OTG controllers?

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

XBOX One Controller Support for Nexus 6

Hello,
I am on a look out for tutorial that would explain in detail how one can connect an XBOX One controller to a Nexus 6 phone via OTG USB cable.
The questions that I have trouble finding answers to include:
Does the controller need to be with batteries installed when connected via USB to work?
Do I need to press any specific button to initiate detection of a controller by phone?
Do I need any software, a rooted device or maybe even more advanced alterations to my phone like custom rom, kernel patches etc.
As the controller supports wireless, can it be used to with wireless adapter or directly with the phone? (and again what software one would need)

Xbox 360 controller not working through otg

After receiving an otg cable I ordered, I connect a wireless mouse with a dongle and it worked perfectly. When I connected my Xbox 360 wireless receiver, however, the controller couldn't connect, instead the ring kept flashing. The controller is already linked to the receiver btw. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hi, did you got the controller working? I have the same problem.
Can't get Xbox One or Xbox 360 controllers working with otg adapter, but i connect other devices without any problem like keyboard and mouse.
Any help??
