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)

if your looking for something big than the playpad pro may be good for you. same specs and abilities as the smaller one but on a larger scale. http://nyko.com/products/product-detail/?name=PlayPad+Pro

dude i hear ya. i've wanted something like that for my transformer for a long time.
i do want something now too, but i rather just deal with touch or wait until that comes out instead of spending my money now and later.

Does that controller have lag still ? I've tried it before on my other tablet and the lag was horrendous....:crying:

Does the ps3 controller work for the nexus 7?

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

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 just picked up a MOGA game pad, the flatish one. It's pretty great. Best buy price matched amazon so it only ran me $30. Plus it came with pac man and sonic. It also works with deadtrigger, and nova 3 I believe. Theres a root app you can get so you can use it on app though. or at least you could in theory.

Ive tryed every single one... I always go back to the ps3 controller because of the build quality.

I've used PS3 Sixaxius Controller with the Sixaxias Controoller app. I like it the best. With the app, it's fairly robust with quite a bit of games because of the touch profiles you can create with and for it. Another bonus, you can get something like the GameKlip, which makes it easier for gaming on the go.
I've tried the OnLive Universal Controller. Only works with the OnLive app. I could get it to detect in games like Dead Trigger, but couldn't program it. OnLive did something different to where going into the map buttons sections of games only gives one command.
I've installed Wiimote Controller app and synce the Wiimote, but didn't try any games. It's good for emulators.

Controllers
So, I've tried about 15 different controllers with my phone and for me, it's the PS3 Dualshock and a gameklip every time. With Jellybean supporting wireless controller profiles it's just the easiest thing out there. If you do go this route, I suggest the Dualshock controller specifically due to the slight added weight. With the gameklip the phone sits about 1/4" from the controller and with the regular sixaxis controller it feels a little top heavy after a while, whereas the slightly heavier Dualshock keeps that from happening.
Another tip with the gameklip (especially for you guys that already have one) if you get the gameklip you have the option of getting it with a case just for the klip... DON'T. It's crap... But, I've found a great solution! Get one of these vent mounts...
--ebay.com/itm/Universal-Car-Air-Vent-Mount-Cradle-Holder-For-Samsung-N7100-Galaxy-Note-2-II-/321064385984?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4ac0edbdc0--
Then, just pop the mounting plate off and attach the gameklip to that. You phone just snaps in and out really easy and is very secure.
The only other controller I would recommend is the Nyko Playpad or Playpad Pro. Great battery life, comes with some cool accessories and a case. The only downside is that being as small as it is, long play sessions are less than comfortable.

Yes but can you set up some good profiles for games like you would on the sixaxis app? It be great if that app could work with the playpad or does it?
I like the form factor of the small playpad to keep in my ride so i can play while my phones docked there. Not trying to really be caring a ps3 control cus honestly there to bulky for me, Small playpad seems easier to store in glovebox

I had contemplated the MOGA or other marketed Android gamepad's but I kept reading that app compatibility is hit or miss. It's not exactly plug/play but with some quick settings it's great.

Looking for a good controller for VR for a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus.

Hi all, I just ordered my VR for the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Plus phone. What handheld controller do you recommend that is like a Xbox/PS controller? I'd rather prefer a controller that you can hold with both your hands, while enjoying the VR, instead of a tiny micro controller.
Recommendations please that works well for this combination.

I got the Moga Pro Power from Amazon! It's officially supported by oculus/Gear VR and works great with all supported games.

The Moga Pro is great, alternatively for a bit less cash the ipega controllers all seem to work very well (IPega PG-9021 / IPega PG-9028), I use the 9021.

Thanks for these suggestions, moga pro is out of stock most places, and even amazon is not in a position to ship them right now. I went to game stop to try my luck and the guy mentioned about Red Samurai Wireless Controller. Anyone tried this one? He mentioned that it works perfectly fine with the Samsung VR.

Yeah, I went to GameStop to buy the same. It's an excellent controller for the price. Unfortunately couldn't find the stock so had to buy the Moga. No regrets though! I've read in several places that Red Samurai works but few of the games may not have support for this controller (like Mortal Blitz VR added support for MOGA recently and some 3rd party controllers which may include Red Samurai too). Overall, I would suggest taking it. At the cost, I don't think there is anything to regret about!

Apurva, thanks for your responses. I think Moga Pro is the right choice. They were giving away the stock on discounted prices until few weeks back, and now almost everyone is out of stock, the ones that have the stock are selling it 45 and upwards.
I guess i should grab it at this price, as i doubt that soon it will run out completely. VR is selling like hot cakes. While commuting to work to chicago downtown, i've seen couple of folks on their VR in the Metra trains.. and people looking over them with anxiety.. lol

I saw Moga Hero Pro in Target for $20. Everything's same except the size and a little lesser battery (which should still last for several weeks). Also, VR is really amazing and you should definitely get it (unless you've got it already) but do not keep your hopes very high, some people get disappointed with the Screen door effect..

Confirming that the Moga works great, and I have had it for the past 4 weeks, along with the Gear VR. Too bad the Samsung Internet does not yet work with a controller, but I hope they do add this feature on.

Also, VR is really amazing and you should definitely get it (unless you've got it already) but do not keep your hopes very high, some people get disappointed with the Screen door effect..

Has anybody tried the True Depth 3D BT Motion remote with it? I know this contoller works great with android as I have seen it in action but was just wondering if it would be the same with the gear vr.

Not judging but why would you want to spend your money on such expensive controller ( I see $89 pricetag on Amazon.com) when officially supported controllers are cheaper ?

I agree with your logic but I have one that was gift and if it will work I won't have to get a moga. I should have my vr soon so I can tell for sure then. But I was curious if anybody else had tried it.

The ouya controller works however on some games the dpad doesnt work.
Am going to get the moga either way and maybe use the ouya controller as a last resort.

Oh yeah, that sounds good now! I assumed you had the Gear VR and looking for a gamepad! I hope it works for you.

Got my VR in today and it is just amazing! I have no other words to describe it. I paired the True Depth controller with my Edge+ and it worked just fine with the VR.
