Think this could possibly work? If someone says it can be done ill give it a try. A ps2 controller to micro USB

I think theres apps that let you connect your ps3 controller through the bluetooth, and play games that way. I saw someone playing Mario like that
ps3 controllers and wiimotes for sure ill research this.

I'm wondering the same about ps2 controllers
The dongles (?) I've seen suggest that they enable you to plug your ps2 controller into a ps3... so, that sounds like it 'becomes' a ps3 controller...
I am considering getting a '2 port' version of the dongle (ebay title: 2 PORT PS2 TO PS3 USB GAME CONTROLLER CONVERTER ADAPTER - Item: 270840161917)
They describe it as such:
Just plug in the USB connection into your Playstation 3 system and you can plug in 2 playstation 2 controllers into the adapter and use them as player 1 and player 2 .
Please note this converter will work with most playstation 2 controllers made but may not work for some types of controllers

That sounds like you might be able to plug two PS2 controllers at once. You would also need something to convert from regular size USB to mini USB.
I haven't done any of this... still mulling it over and trying to find out if others have. (but it isn't really a great investment - maybe < 30$ for 2 controllers and all the parts).

Curious if anyone knows about hooking up a wired, usb controller to the TF while docked. I already own the wired gaming controllers that I use on my laptop for SNES roms, but wanted to use it on the transformer while I'm out.
android 3.1 supports the xbox and ps3 wire controllers...and i'm guessing other standard (meaning they work without custom drivers) gamepads.
i test an old PC gamepad i had, and it only partially worked. (some buttons aren't recognized, or recognized weirdly)
eitherway, it's trial and error.
but officially, Android 3.1 supports, at the very least, the xbox and ps3 controllers.
I can confirm ps3 controller works

Will give it a try
Sweet, well i have an older gamepad that once I get the TF I will give it a shot, worst comes to worst will just pick up an xbox controller and call it good
The Xbox 360 USB controller does not work with this tablet.
Are you using an actual USB 360 controller or a 360 controller with the charge and play cable? The charge and play cable does not transmit data, it only charges, so you would have to have the 360 controller synced through blue tooth to make it work that way.
I got one of these docks today so I can confirm that the following controllers work with the dock:
PS3 dual shock
Logitech Cordless Precision PS3 controller (Wireless!)
Mayflash Classic Controller USB adapter (this one surprised me)
HOWEVER!
I was unable to get any of the emulators to register the right analog stick, which for most emulators is not a big deal, but still not as good I think as just using a wii remote with a classic controller which seems to work for all the buttons and sticks and things.
Also, I was unable to get 2 usb gamepads to be recognized independently (i.e. as player 1 and player 2) so for me this is not good either. I am now selling the dock on ebay because the only plus for me was being able to have 2 wireless USB gamepads that are not tethered to something else (wii remote) and be able to play 2 player games. Otherwise this dock just makes my transformer less portable. I'm sure for some people it's great though, I'm not knocking it, it just wasn't suited for what I wanted.
Anyone try it with a Logitech gamepad (usb)?

Yes, I'm using an actual USB Xbox 360 controller not the wireless controller with the charge and play cable. This is an issue that if you search the forums you'll find others who have the same problem. I had emailed Asus more than a month ago about the issue and they finally responded and said:
Dear Valued Customer,
For the problem, currently TF101's dock does not support xbox 360 controller.
Sorry for any inconvenience. Wish you have a nice day.

And when I asked if it will be supported in the future:

The wireless gamepad I tried was Logitech, so I would imagine that this would work as well. I have a couple of older model Logitech gamepads I can test later on if I get around to it.
I really am disappointed though in the fact that android 3.1 does not seem to distinguish between 2 different gamepads plugged in at the same time. I tried setting up a 2 player game of Contra by mapping buttons for player 1 and player 2 on each respective pad, but both gamepads controlled both characters at the same time. So it's fine for single player, but any kind of multiplayer is no go.
I take it back. It is something they are looking to resolve:
The next firmware update will support xbox 360 controller and the firmware will be released soon.

Thanks so much for the info! But would you be so kind as to check with the older model Logitech gamepads (with usb)? I'm looking to buy the one that I linked you earlier and this would definitely be a deal breaker if it didn't work.
I have not been able to get the PS3 controller to work on my prime when I plug it into the dock with a USB cable. Is there a setting I don't know about? Every time I press the ps3 button, it turns on my PS3 and connects to it instead.
Now I'm wondering if my USB port is broken because nothing that I plug into it works - mice, USB stick, controller...
I didn't even realize you could use ps3 remote with the prime just plugged mine in but the controls were kind of confusing and weird is there certain games the ps3 remote is good for or something?

I'm guessing by remote you mean controller. I don't think the PS3 remote has a usb jack.
To answer your question, there are thousands upon thousands of extremely well made games that you would use that controller for.
See here.

Anyone know of a good game controller? I would prefer one that plugged into the usb port, but anything has to be better than trying to play NES games with the touch screen as a controller.

I'd love a bluetooth one.
Well through searching I was able to get my wireless PS3 controller working. It'll do. Would like a smaller attachment one, but it does the trick. Here's how if anyone is interested...
http://www.sgnoteforum.com/topic/15...ler-as-a-gamepad-to-play-games-via-bluetooth/
In fact, PS3 WII and XBOX 360(guides to how are on the bottom) controllers all work on the android, as do most USB controllers that you use with the PC.
I have the international s3 and running Omega ROM. I would like to play games with a controller and read that a OTG cable will be needed which I can try to find and buy but my question is, will it work with a ps2 controller since I have so many of those laying around? Or will it only work with Ps3 and Xbox360 controllers?
You can get an adapter for about $4 to use Ps2 controller on Ps3 and if you plug it into OTG it will recognise a Ps2 controller as if it was a Ps3.

Did you get it? I have two ps2 controllers and I would like to use them with my S3. But I wouldn't buy the adapter if it is not possible. Thanks.
I think it will work with almost any controller over USB OTG with the app Sixaxis Controller https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller ... using controllers with bluetooth though... pain in the ass!

PS2 controllers have a very large custom plug which does not even look anything like a USB plug.
PS3 controllers have a normal USB-plug, hence Michael_P's recommendation of getting a PS2->PS3 controller adapter and then plug that adapter into the USB-OTG.

Thanks, I forgot this important detail. But I have an old PC controller (Logitech), so I bought the USB-OTG adapter and I will try with it.
Every controller has it's own layout, so it might not work at all or only through (commercial) Support apps like Joystick Center
(Remember that you cannot install your old driver on the phone)
I have already the OTG-USB and it works perfectly with my Logitech RumblePad 2 (I had to search it in my storage room).
It moves thought the desktop and I can push the icons. But I tried two games:
- In Virtua tennis doesn't work the buttons
- In Asphalt 7 doesn't work the joysticks
Do you known if could I use an app as this one (it is of paid and I would like to be sure):

I use a Logitech F710 with a short OTG cable, works great, there's a switch on the front of it, must be set to "D" to work properly. Using it for GTA3 and Asphalt 7.
PS3 controller via bluetooth here as well
Just like my Galaxy S2 it looks like Samsung is STILL using their proprietary bluetooth stack because my Wiimotes dont work with my Tab 2. Wiimote Connect always asks me for a PIN. Might have to give in and just get a PS3 controller.

Hello
I have a problem, when i plug in to my Tab 2 a gamepad i see " connected USB device with high performance" and bottom "can not get access to the device" (message translated from Polish), and USB/BT Joystick Center test app dont see a usb gamepad. I dont know what i to do. I dont want root my tablet but i want play with controler. Please help and sorry for my poor english
I forgot i use USB OTG adapter.
I see that no one knows the answer to my question. So let us differently. Message about high power, tell i think says that game pad take to much elctric power, so i have another question if i connect bluetooth gamepad with USB dongle then will take less power? And if so, that my tablet and USB / BT Joystick Center app willbe work with this set? Maybe someone tried?
Im talking about normal bluetooth PC gamepad.

Here's a fun fact. I was playing shadowgun deadzone for a few hours on my galaxy tab 2 10.1 WiFi only non root FULLY CHARGED .
Now I stopped playing
BATTERY IS AT 40% or so, unplugged the ps3 controller , did bit of web browsing for bout 20 mins
Then left my tab.
Came back battery is at 38% NOW.
So plugged in the ps3 controller to play shadowgun deadzone again
AND now it's saying 'connected device is too high power consumption!'
Go figure...
So charged it to full.
Plugged ps3 again now Works.
So looks like at a certain % it didn't accept ' high powered devices' like the ps3 controller.
I don't know what the % limit is until it says ' high powered device Bla Bla'
But I'd think it's around 50-40%
Thought I'd let people know

Want to add to save others time and trouble. You can use a ps3 controller. But it HAS to be a genuine Sony controller. If you dont have one, they are expensive. Use the app sixaxis compatibility and its sister app, sixaxis controller, to make it work.
If you dont have a ps3 controller, the gamestop controller that acam mentioned above is supposed to be really good. My local Gamestop wanted $30. Since i'm cheap, i bought the Red Samurai V2 controller from gamestop ($25). I love it! It looks great, works great and feels great in the hands. Played Shadowgun Deadzone no problem with it. I'm going to try and pair it with my desktop pc and see how it works.
