Cheap game controller for Nexus 7? - Nexus 7 Accessories

Any recommendations? I recently had a Logitech Dual Action controller that worked great (tested with DEAD TRIGGER and Shadowgun), but I broke it when I was trying to do something (was trying a plastic dye to make the top half of the controller black instead of blue, and warped it)
I saw a couple of cheap knock-off PS3 controllers on Ebay that lacked pressure buttons, sixaxis, and etc, but I'm wondering if these would work fine with the Sixaxis controller application I've been hearing about?

Only official Sony controllers are supported. Any other controller may have problems, or not work.

The "may" part is what has me curious. I'll probably have to rely on someone who actually has one of these non-official PS3 controllers, but if buttons and analog sticks works over bluetooth, then that's all I'll need.

Yea, it's basically like saying "Device is not officially supported" which means if you have a problem don't bother telling me.

Most crappy knock-off PS3 controllers are "2.4ghz wireless", NOT Bluetooth. Read the fine print. They require a little dongle plugged into the USB port on the PS3.

Don't use anything but o.e.m. Sony you will be glad you did.

Yea I went round and around with various controllers. Most bluetooth controllers are pure crap for the money. The buttons and Dpads are nasty feeling and are cheaply made. They chew through batteries and/or won't keep a charge.
Stick with the name brands like the WiiMote or a PS3 SixAxis.
Honestly the PS3 controller is fantastic. It works by default with a OTG Cable but requires root/SixAxis App to play. Some custom roms can pair with the controller without the SixAxis app but I haven't seen any for the N7 yet. So while it currently requires a few extra steps, the control and responsiveness of the PS3 controller is superb. The SixAxis App also lets you map buttons to areas of the screen where you would normally touch. This makes the PS3 controller much more useful for games that don't natively allow button mapping. These are profiles, which you can download for specific games.
Any other controller will be a waste of money. You can pick up a PS3 controller for like $30. I bought a white one from GameStop for like $29.99 a few months ago brand new in the original packaging.

I'm thinking about buying a Sony PS3 Dual Shock 3 bluetooth controller because using the screen is horrible but it seems overpriced for what it is especially if you were to look at the simplicity of the internals. Even with the controller combo pack with Resistance dual pack games on sale for $45 at Kmart it's still hard to pull the trigger. ~$25 is about what it's worth.

Ah, didn't think they were this cheap. I'll probably call up my local Gamestop tomorrow and see if they have any in stock. I asked my friend a few days ago how much a PS3 controller went for and he said $50... which was a bit more then I wanted to spend on a controller :/

I'm using a Roku remote. Working really well with Riptide.

Broke down and bought the PS3 wireless controller bundle with two games but since it was opened but new Kmart discounted it from $45 to $40. Will be selling the two bundled games to recoup the cost since I don't own a PS3. Wanted to avoid Amazon/online purchase since I read a lot of comments regarding counterfeits. Charging it right now off of my PC. Btw, it requires a Mini USB cable which is not included but fortunately I had a spare one from Blackberry.

Where are official PS3 controllers for $30? They are $55 new, $45 used at gamestop.

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).

Would be cool to have something like this that would fit the Nexus 7. For use with SixAxis controller.

DON'T BUY KNOCK OFF PS3 CONTROLLERS OR YOU WILL JUST WASTE YOUR MONEY. THEY DON'T WORK PROPERLY.
As far as PS3 controllers, they "typically" run $40-50 I guess, but they can be had for a lot less. Gamestop may have had some kind of 30% off accessories or something. It also could have been the area. I was working on a military base but everywhere I looked they were $30-$40 at Gamestop and Walmart.
It DOES require a miniUSB-microUSB adapter to play with it out of the box (corded). Or just set it up properly via SixAxis for wireless. Some roms DO include the PS3 drivers so you don't even need SixAxis (native play).

If i changes the bluetooth master on the ps3 controller, will it then not play with ps3 without setting it up again ?

This might be the wrong area, but since we are talking about it...how does the Sixaxis app work, with bluetooth, for games that already have native controller support like Shadowgun?

Yes, you would have to re-pair your controller with your PS3.

I ordered this cheap thing:
USB GamePad Shock Joypad PC Computer Controller Black for Windows 95 / 98 / ME
Seems pretty generic, but I don't see exactly why it wouldn't work with Linux/Android. I'll find out in a few days

What game controllers are tested working?

From various threads, I see that the wiimote with or without the wii classic controller works well.
That's the only widely available controller I've seen. Some people have been pimping the Phonejoy modified PSX controller, but those are custom made. The datel retro wii controller has also come up, but Nintendo has all but driven these out of the market, and for our limited bt range, tethering Nintendo's Wii Classic controller to a Wiimote may be a better option anyway.
I'm specifically curious about the PS3 controller, but some googling suggests it's a no-go with Android for the foreseeable future. Too bad, as I may pick up a PS3 at some point, but probably will never own a Wii.
Any other game controllers tested working? Any of them look more versatile or otherwise better than the Wiimote + Wii Classic combo?
Has anyone using the Wiimote or other controllers found them useful aside from gaming?
the datel retro controller seems to be the way to go imo.

IDK, looking around a little more, I found there's a newer generation (still a year old) Nintendo offering, the Classic Controller Pro:
http://www.amazon.com/Wii-Classic-C...UTF8&coliid=INNONUR2I65HQ&colid=3L10NYSDYJ11Z
It stacks the L/R buttons, adds grips, and spaces the analog sticks better. Given the NC's limited range, it might be a pro rather than a con that it tethers to a bluetooth radio (the wiimote). At $15, even if you need to buy a wiimote you could come in under the $40 price tag on the datel retro.
ETA: Actually, a knock-off wiimote should be fine for our purposes, right? So you could have wiimote+CC Pro for $25-30 from Amazon.
wow, havent seen that before, thats deff way to go.
There is also the Msi bgp100 gamepad. But personally I have a datel and love it. Not to much use besides gaming though.
I like the datel because its 1 controller instead of 2, having the wiimote and a classic controller just seems bulkie. But, yes, it would give you an extra foot of 2 of range if needed. Fyi the datel is the only stand alone wireless on the market. All the other aftermarket wireless wiimotes have to plug an adapter into the back of the wiimote.
im using a fake wiimote and it works fine...going to get the classic controller to extend the range a bit
check out deal extreme for some good deals...shipping does take forever from china though...
I too would have liked to see the PS3 Controller work. As I think it really would have been the ultimate controller as far as everything goes.
However it doesn't, so I purchased a kid's wiimote (just a smaller wiimote for extra portability) and a offbrand classic controller from gamestop for like $10. All in all was under 40, and it really helps with range issues.
That said, it's not much bulkier of a setup than the Datel wireless controller... If you're planning on taking the nook color somewhere to play games for a few hours, you can easily use an old backpack or wal-mart plastic bag to carry it all =\.
Just bought a knockoff Wiimote and Nunchuck off of Amazon, and a Wii Classic Controller Pro, all for $29! Here are the links to the two items:
Wii Classic Pro
Wiimote and Nunchuck
I'll update yall as to how they work as soon as I get them, cant wait to get playin some N64!
Well, I was trying not to spend any more money on the NC this month, but I broke down and grabbed the CCP for $15 while my Amazon Prime trial lasts. I'll look around locally for a knock-off or used wiimote, but otherwise I can get one from Amazon for $10 shipped.
I have not tried to use an emulator. However, this might be of interest to you.

I've seen good results with the wiimote, too, but that's nuts. I wonder why the game controllers do so much better than other devices?
There's a new USBhost kernel for CM7 in the dev forum that should open the door to ps3 and xbox controllers...
Just got in my Wiimote and Classic controller, and they pair and work great! Only thing it, I cant seem to get any diagonal directions working... Does anyone else use Fpse and have some advice for setting up the controls for a Classic controller?? Thanks in advance!
Diagonals seem to be working for me in SNesoid, but I can't get the CCPro to work in Gensoid. It recognized the buttons for keymapping, but the games didn't respond

Best bluetooth game controller without rooting ?

Who's using a bluetooth controller on their stock N7? Any suggestions on a particular brand ? I've got an older gamestop bluetooth controller that I used on my Prime tablet but I'm not sure it will work with Jelly Bean .
It's not out yet, but the Nyko PlayPads are going to be the best.
my post about them: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28821776&postcount=16
whole topic about gamepads http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1751822&page=2
At present I would say the Phonejoy or Datel Retro Wireless controller. Both can be made to be recognised by the system as native devices via Bluez IME and Gamepad Enabler, which means they will work with all the games that work with native controllers, as well as emulators. Won't be able to use touch emulation for games that don't support gamepads natively, that is Root required. If the Nyko ones can do that without Root that makes them pretty attractive, but they aren't out yet so depends on whether you want to wait.
EDIT: Ah, I missed the Tegra-exclusivity on those Nyko ones - likely makes these a waste of time for many (definitely me).

It is designed and compatable with all Tegra3 games but it does NOT require the tegra.
It's requirements are only any android device running 3.0+ and bluetooth. It does NOT require the Tegra3 but it is built and designed to instantly work with Tegra3 games, other games and other hardware may require manual setup (you can also download setups through their app)

yeah you just need the sixaxxis app from the play store to sync it up
I use sixaxis as well. I have heard great things about phonejoy as well.

PS3 controllers will work via USB OTG as well as wirelessly via Sixaxis controller. Wired use does not require Root, but is more limited (lacks touch emulation available via Sixaxis).
I have two iControlPads and they work great! I can connect both at once and get some SNES Street Fighter 2 Turbo action. Small enough to be really portable and can also be used to charge the tablet if need be. Battery lasts forever! Kind if expensive with shipping but worth it.

Let's Talk Game Controllers

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.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
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.

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

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!

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

Xperia SP and PS3 controller

Hi,
I spotted in settings option which allow to connect PS3 controller to our XSP.
When I started that it ask for plug controller over usb.
I thinking maybe to buy one and use for gaming. So my question is that any one try to connect controller and how it working. Can I play games as MC4 using that?
Does it need to be connect over usb or later it is connect by Bluetooth?
My previous phone was Xperia Play and in some games I miss touchpads and separate buttons.

You can do it using your PC and a ps3 controller usb cable (a bit hard to set up bluetooth adresses and you need to have the app) or you can just buy for a few dollars an OTG cable like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/1PC-OTG-Connect-Kit-Adapter-Converter-USB-Female-Cable-For-Samsung-Phones-Black-/130798950371?pt=AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item1e743997e3

whiles its on the pricey side @ $68.90 for just the controller, or $88.90 for the pro bundle (controller plus all accessories). I got the recently released Phonejoy and been doing great with it.....for emulators and Dead Trigger 1, it doesnt seem to want to work for other games that have moga support (The makers of phonejoy said that if a game uses moga then the controller would work), though that could just be the nook lol.
Hurry MOGA Mobile Gaming System for Android 2.3+ is $12 on clearance at Toys R Us! Ask to scan if not listed as a clearance item.
I'm on kitkat 11 4.4.4. Had the hardest time finding a controller that works with 4.4. Had to order a USB coupler and a csr4 BT adapter. Total on Amazon was $20. Haven't tried the ps3 controller but there are issues with the wiimote. It connects but my emulators won't accept it. On the other hand, I have this USB to gamepad converter. Works perfectly with my ps1 and GameCube controllers. I'd rather lose the wires but it's not a big deal.
