I tried connecting this controller to my Att s3 with no luck. It's a wireless controller but has the plug in cable to charge it while playing. This setup does not work, I can't get the usb app to recognize the controller. Is there a trick to this or does it only work with the wired controller?

From my understanding it only works with a wired controller. Or a Bluetooth PS3 Controller. Same applies to my Transformer prime. Also note that you do have to download the SixAxis App for the PS3 controller.

I thought you only needed that app for pre-ICS ? Have read a few places that ICS natively supports PS3 controllers...
I tried the ps3 controller and it is natively supported, at least through usb. I haven't tried bluetooth yet.

The Play-and-Charge cable is just that: a charger. It doesn't carry data signals. To use a wireless 360 controller on anything that isn't a 360, you need one of these: Microsoft Xbox 360™ Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows®
I have 2 of them, they work great on a PC, but I've never tried them on a mobile device.

I have not seen ANYTHING other than PS3s that could pair with a PS3 controller.
However, if you have Pershoot's kernel and the controller is fully charged, you can connect it via USB.
Will not work with stock kernels (no driver)
Will not work if the controller wants to charge its battery (overcurrent protection will trip)

Does anyone happen to know what controller exactly would work on a Galaxy Tab 10.1 in combination with the official USB Host adapter? I only have a PS3 controller at home but would be willing to spend some cash on an USB controller if I was sure it would work. Any chance the XBox 360 for PC USB controller works? Wouldn't mind if it's the wired one but the wireless one would be cool, too.

PC USB controllers should work without any work.
Xbox 360 controllers need Pershoot's kernel and the extra modules (aka "lib") archive.
Fully charged PS3 controllers work as USB but not Bluetooth with Pershoot's kernel/modules. PS3 controllers that don't have a fully charged battery will trigger an overcurrent trip when connected.
Actually this just came out. Works like a champ with the Tab 10.1.
Yup, this is a brand new development that happened since my last post on this subject.

Works well, I've been using it.
Unfortunately it looks like you have to be rooted.

If i have the prime usb adapter and the xbox 360 pc wireless receiver could i use a 360 controller?
Ive had no Dice getting it to work. Tried a 360 wired pad and it didnt work either. There is an app on the store that in theory should work with XBOX pads.

I have the USB keyboard dock and have been able to use a Saitek P990 wired USB controller as well as my wireless Microsoft 360 controller with the PC/USB wireless receiver. Works great for me.

Nope. Just plugged the USB PC wireless receiver into the dock, hit the button on it to start the receiver sync; too my controller and hit the sync button; and they were synced. One thing to know though is that unlike the regular 360 or PC, the little 360 logo on the controller will always be flashing in a circle as if it's trying to sync, even though it's synced up.
In other words, it won't lock onto a particular player 1-4, but just keep spinning around forever, that's just the way it is.
According to the Nvidia rep at CES, the prime comes preloaded with the major USB controller drivers, including the 360 USB wired controller. I saw it being used with my own 2 eyes.

Shadowgun and GTA3 are so much easier to play with the Xbox 360 controller
Mine wont work...
I have tried to use my 360 wireless controller with wired PC dongle and a 360 wired control in the USB port of the dock and the wireless dongle lights up then i sync the control and the light goes off and the control wont map. The wired one doesn't even turn on (flickers on then off .2 sec) when plugged in. Am I missing something do I have a defective doc? I have done this before with my WII-mote that works find but I much prefer the 360 control. I also happen to have a ps3 control and that also doesn't work with the USB cable and the six-axises app. App says its compatible with the Transformer Prime but it always just asks me to pug the USB in. Any ideas? Does the Dock need a certain amount of charge does it have to be plugged into the wall to have enough power?
I actually hated using my 360 controller with GTA III. I was looking forward to it, is there a magic controller config kicking around somewhere, or am I destined to only looking around whilst standing still?
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):

Hello
I have MHL adapter and its working fine with my SGS2 but i want to play games on the TV on Wifi/BT Game PAD.
I don`t have any game pad so this is open.
In theory I have rpogram to chose:
a) USB/BT Joystick Center - for any OTG controllers
b) Sixaxis controller - for only original PS3 game pads
I don`t want to buy the PS3 game pad as its expesive a I additionally I want to buy next year the new XBOX.
Best choise for now would be a cheap wireless controller with the program A) which dosen`t need to be plugged to the phone with OTG cable.
Is this possible and is there such a hardware to buy?
Any ideas?
Use a cheap usb (pc) game pad and use it with A program.

how to connect it when I have the MHL adapter in the USB port ?
the sixaxis controller and the sixaxis app are your only options.
let me explain:
if you want to use mhl, you cannot use another usb device, which excludes xbox controllers, because, well, the wired one needs a usb port of course, but the wireless needs a usb receiver as well (since it is not bluetooth). also, i never got the wired one working, it seems to consume to much power for the phone and only works on tablets.
then there is the wiimote, which works with bluetooth, but to my knowledge, it does not work with the bluetooth stack on the s2. the consequence is:
either you use an aosp/aokp based rom (which uses a different bluetooth stack), then you can use the wiimote, but no mhl, or you use a stock rom, then you can use mhl, but no wiimote.
since you need the usb port for mhl, all "cheap pc usb controllers" are out as well.
then there is the phonejoy controller, which works as a native bluetooth controller, but costs way too much for being just a sixaxis knock-off controller (it is like 60eur here).
so, if you go with the original sony dualshock 3 controller (for about 30eur) and an additional 2eur, you are better off. also, besides being able to pair the controller as a native controller, it can also be connected as a native keyboard or using touch profiles, which means, games without controller support will also work. and since this works with a fairly regular bluetooth connection, there is no cable issue there.

Help pls:crying:
It won't work cos a wireless x360 controller doesn't work via USB. It has to be paired with an xbox 360 wireless receiver. You're better off using a wired controller or a ps3 or ps4 pad. However. If both the wireless controller and the wireless pad are paired together eg on a PC, connecting the receiver via otg to your phone and turning on the wireless pad would work on your phone. You can make your own wireless receiver from a scrap Xbox 360 if you don't wanna buy. Google around for instructions. It's what I use on my phone. I'd still suggest you stick to ps3/4 controllers

Same with me, the Xbox wireless controller doesn't work. I got a Logitech F710 for my PC and it works everywhere, phone, PC, ps3, etc.
This problem can be solved... but no one want to solve that.
