Controllers - Samsung Gear VR

What is the least expensive controller you can get for the gear vr? Any of the Amazon generic ones?

Which one? Is there a reason a regular bluetooth controller wont work?

I can pair the PS4 Controller (with the s7 edge), but it won't be recognised from oculus or other games.
I would love to hear wich controller will work with the s7 edge and the oculus vr games...

Can't remember where I read it, but if you plug the PS4 controller into the USB port on the side of the GearVR, it supposedly works. Think you need to use the OTG adapter that came with the phone.

I also tested the Snakebyte Idroid:con, i can use the AnalogStick& D-Pad to run around, but none of the other Buttons and Triggers worked.
So I could just run around, very disappointing... )

So Moga will work, and Moga Pro don't?
Did you already play Games out of the Oculus Store on the VR with a Galaxy S7 or S7edge?

Works great mode 1 and if you use samsung package disabler to shut off bloat, unfreeze gamepad service. I thought it didnt work until I unfroze that.

I use the steel series stratus xl on my s7 and it works perfectly with the gearvr and every game I've tried with it functions good.
Added bonus of it working perfectly on my pc as well. Fantastic controller.
Make sure you get the one made for android and pc as there is also an iPad/Ifail version as well.

I just got my generic ipega (PG-9021) Classic Game Pad in the mail today. Cost about $10 (with shipping). Works. The 4 way circle game button pad thing doesnt work. I have to use the joy stick handle thing above it to move. The X,Y,A,B buttons work. Tested with a couple games only but so far so good. No issues. Its a simple re chargeable BT controller. Looks like a X-Box controller.

while it might not be the cheapest, the Steel Series XL works great on mine

Actually, it looks like it has 3 USB ports, not 2, which seems great, definitely the best accessory for a Note 2 user, can't wait to see someone review it.
where did you buy the smart dock

A typo, duh.
This dock looks amazing. One question I have is whether the USB/hdmi ports will work without the dock being plugged in to a wall/computer.
Which model of GN2, and how did you get it and the dock for so little?
THanks!

I work for walmart so I get a 25% discount on accessories from verizon, I just got the 16gb version so I saved 25$ because of my discount
I wonder if the HDMI out will work without having to connect it to a power source.

This looks amazing. I had to order one. I wonder if the HDMI out allows you to display the entire screen like the droid bionic would.
I really want to be able to browse the internet and type documents on a tv with a wireless mouse and keyboard.
Does this have a spot for an extra battery to charge in the back there?

Wanted this one, but too expensive.

I registered my device on Samsung website and they emailed me a code for 50% off on accessaries. The dock is currently on back order. I'll be getting this for sure.

Golfinggino, Is your phone rooted?

Any way i can get my gear 2 neo to control my Logitech Z906?

Or can it only control tv's and recievers?
I remember a thread for gear 2 which was about using the gear 2 as those Logitech remotes. Search in gear 2 forum.
Good luck!
Cheers

Slimport Adapter

Has anyone used a slimport adapter to mirror the display to tv? If so what adapter are you using?
Sent from my LG-H811 using Tapatalk
You can search it for amazon. May help you.
Are you able to mirror your screen without root?
I just tested my slimport adapter and it's not working at all. It charges fine with it connected, but no screen. It works fine on my nexus 5. So... I don't know what to say.

I have a tv dongle (generic, no brand) that I bought for my note 7 a year ago, functions well now with my note 8 using the samsung otg adaptor, and the " pad tv" apk from playstore
Make sure you don't have a case keeping the dongle from being fully plugged in. Other than that not sure. Guy above me has it working on his note 8.

Do you have a link to the same dongle so I can compare the specs?

I bought it a year ago in "mercado libre mexico", the model is: ATSC pad tv tuner pt681, by the way, make sure to connect the OTG adapter facing up, so the word "samsung" on it can be seen
Found this....
