Has anyone bought and tried the HTC W100 remote control/headphone adapter?
It looks like it should work, and I'll probably buy it; but I was curious if anyone already has.
Thanks,
Matt

so i assume that means it's been tested and works?
Cheap bluetooth controllers that are advertised to work for the PS3 can be had on eBay for $10-$30. However, is there a reason any compatibility issue should arise?

I don't want to spend $50 on a Sony controller if I don't need to.
IDK about those, but I personally use the tablet bluetooth controller from GameStop and it has always worked great

Just FYI, Sixaxis Controller doesn't (yet) work with 4.2. Hopefully it will soon.

I too would love to use my Sixaxis controller on the nexus 10.
So, do you think it's likely that it will gain support? Part of me was afraid that it is simply incompatible.
Be careful. In the past I tried ordering a lot of cheap PS3 bluetooth controllers, and really most of them were 2.4ghz infrared. I don't get why they do that, I think it might be a misunderstanding by someone who doesn't speak english as a first language and assumes bluetooth and wireless are synonymous. Also, those 2.4ghz ones can work for computer or PS3 because they have a dongle that lets them pair, but it looked horrible and didn't want to work with my phone (I think that was when I was using my GS2)
Gotcha. Funny how in the description for the more expensive controller I posted states it is 2.4GHz wireless, and bluetooth in a separate sentence. Going to message the seller just to verify. Otherwise, I'll probably grab a Sony controller or the tablet one during Black Friday sales.
Also, I'm aware SixAxis doesn't work yet. However, the developer stated he is working on a fix. I see no reason for it not to work with 4.2.

black friday sale, too with promo code SAVEFRIDAY gets you 20% off. probably the cheapest one you'll find.
There's also the pro if you want a bigger controller: http://www.nyko.com/products/product-detail/?name=PlayPad+Pro
Alright. I'm looking for a good deal on a controller. For the most part I enjoy on screen controls, but I find it very difficult with emulators. It's almost impossible to play Super Mario World or Tecmo Bowl with on screen controls.
So these are my questions:
1. Do I need to be rooted no matter what? If so, no problem. I'll do it.
2. Is the PS3 controller the only way to go or are there cheaper options?
Thanks in advance.

I have a Moga bluetooth controller. Certainly not the cheapest but it works well. Its also one of the only controllers made that gets official game dev support.
Thanks. That looks pretty good. Looks like I can get it for about $30 on ebay.

The Moga is cool but pricey and the software causes input lag.
I haven't used my moga in a few weeks from being busy. Honestly, the PS3 sixaxis controller is the only one that just works.
I also use my 360 controller but that requires a USB wireless dongle on top of the controller price. It works good but I don't like the big wireless dongle.
Each has their advantages. PS3 works the best and the cheapest option. The 360 wireless dongle runs off USB which works if Bluetooth sucks or doesn't have good Bluetooth Sixaxis support. I got my Moga for free during their Christmas promo and glad I didn't pay for it.
I haven't really been able to fully enjoy my moga from their bad software support creating bad lag. The only option is to use the Moga driver app which is 3rd party and doesn't enable the second stick. I tested this on several devices. I would be pissed if I paid $50 for this.
Controller is uncomfortable for long periods and the joysticks suck... they get slippery and hard to keep them extended using your thumb for extended periods (like moving right).
The moga is cool paired with the phone for quick plays but the Sixaxis would be the better buy for a tablet.

I must be looking in the wrong places for a ps3 controller. Everywhere I look they're like $50.

For it to work wirelessly, yes you need to be rooted for the sexaxis app to work correctly. The other option is to connect the controller via the OTG cable to the tablet, and it will work as a normal gamepad.
The PS3 is the best controller I have found to use for it. Just make sure to get a real PS3 controller; the fakes are either rubbish or don't work with SixAxis correctly.

The real ones are that price, true. There are a lot of fake PS3 controllers out there, I've run into a few myself. If you see one for below $40, it's fake. Just go with the real thing from a good retailer or get it directly from a Sony store, as the fakes are getting more and more difficult to spot.
Thanks guys. Yeah, I might consider getting an OTG cable and trying out my XBOX360 controller first, and if that doesn't work out, then I'll dish out some cash for a wired PS3 controller.
I was rooted but I'm really trying to keep it unrooted at this point.
I went the 360 wired route for awhile, but got really tired of the wires. Got the PS3 controller off Amazon Prime for $40 shipped new. Worth it with the Sixasis Controller app. No cables, recognized as a native controller in alot of games, and you can program it for any game. And it is so much nicer to be wireless

Did the XBOX 360 controller work well with game emulators? That's still my biggest concern.

Not on all. Some emulators don't even look for a controller or other input method when they start. The bonus of the Sixasis Controller app is that you can take a screenshot of any game and load that up in the Sixaxis Controller app. You can then map out the entire controller to physical locations on your screen. So when you tap "X" on the controller, it thinks you tapped on the screen wherever you assigned the "X" button.
All you have to do once you make a map is save it with a name, and before you open that game in your emulator, select that map from the Sixaxis app. BOOM, your own controller scheme.
Hurry!
SixAxis DualShock 3
I have the moga gamepad and am not a fan. I was really expecting button presses like the PS3 controller and it's not even close. The moga buttons are super clicky. I like the PS3 controller, but it's not as portable as I'd like. There is another company that's making an android gamepad called evolution controllers that I think I will give a try when there product drops
edit: Just checked evolutions site and they are up for order it guess. $80 bucks though which is completely over priced IMHO
I bought two of these

Alright, so I'm breaking down and getting an official Sony PS3 controller today. Is there a good tutorial that you would recommend on pairing it to the N7? I heard that you have to take screenshots and configure buttons in accordance with them or something like that?
I wish someone would make a case with a d-pad and some buttons integrated. It's like my dream product. *sigh*
I've got a Retrolink NES controller -> USB adapter that works great on Android (used on my Thrive and now on my Nexus 7).

and a Mayflash dual-SNES one that doesn't work on Android:

I recommend the official PS3 controller + rooted + Sixaxis app + some sort of mount.

I own a nyko playpad mini. It's a paperweight.
The software has never been updated and it's completely not working for touch controls.
Basically a lemon.

Been looking @ Bluetooth controllers with stick offset, l like using xbox controller with USB adapter but want to go all wireless.looking at this controller for ps3 with offset stick,any other suggestions would be great.

Does the PS2 controller work?
Her guys, just wondering if the turbo can be used as a TV remote? If so what app works?
Thanks
highly doubt it. there's no IR
I've tested and tried and also talked to a tech support. There is no IR blaster on the device. You would need to purchase a blaster that plugs into the headphone jack in order to use such a feature.

I bought the phone a couple days ago, looking forward to using it! I wanted to know if there were any gamepad controllers like this: https://fliptroniks.com/5-best-gaming-controllers-for-oneplus-7-pro/ but for the 7t.
I had a Moga Hero Pro and it works fine on my OnePlus 7T.
Most of those should work on the 7T. Those seem generic and just rely on bluetooth for connection. Basically any non-iOS controller will work if it supports Dinput on bluetooth or USB (with USB-C OTG adapter).
XBOX Bluetooth works like a dream. im going to run a few test prints to attach the phone to it and will give you guys feed back later

Would any of the gamevice controllers work? The ones for the newer Samsung phones have usb-c, is that what I should get? I want something that I can play in public and not look stupid like those full-in controller ones.

Unless Gamevice makes a specific model that is labeled to fit the 7T, I would say avoid. I wouldn't know if the 7T's dimensions and port placement compare all that well with the Samsung Galaxy models, or the Pixels, supported by Gamevice.
Does it support wired gamepads?? can anyone confirm?
