Anyone know of a compatible gamepad that works with the Transformer? I know there is the Datel Wii Retro Wireless controller, but I was hoping for something to use via the USB ports.
You could use a Wiimote along with a nunchuck controller or a Wii classic controller.
Looking for a USB gamepad, as I don't want to use bluetooth.

uh...why not bluetooth?
I think he is wanting an actual d pad plus analog stick to plug into the device. Which brings me to ask this question has anyone sync the ps3 controller to it?

I don't have high hopes w/ ps3 controller working.. (Though that woudl be conveniant; my ps3's been down for 2 weeks now and another 4 till I get psn again? urgh)
Exactly where i was going with that

Not the most powerful hardware in the world, but should be able to easily emulate up to, maybe including the PS2? I never saw touchscreen devices as serious gameplaying devices because I'm archaic and need physical buttons and controller pad/joysticks, but this certainly changes things with native support.

The wiimote is confirmed working. I'm listing game controllers in my master Emulator and Rom compatability thread, stop by and list the emus and roms that are working for you.

This is a thread to collect a list of game pads and controllers that are known to work, to chat about them start a new thread in the right forum. Maybe this can be wiki'ed sometime.
If you have a controller/pad that works, post the following:
Game pad make/model
Connection method; like Bluetooth or USB
Does it work fully?
What did you have to do to get it working? E.g. paired it via Bluetooth.
For more detailed questions than the above, please start a new thread in Q&A or here as appropriate instead of pissing in this pool, thank you!
For software to test with, I suggest something that already works with the keyboard, like Muffin Knight( Free) or whatever the most common emulator is. Both should make a reasonable baseline. If you need to find an emulator and crap, use SEARCH or make a thread. This thread is more useful when game agnostic as possible, threads for specific games/controllers can spell out specific issues.

I have a Logitech Dual Analogue Controller that connects via USB and works perfectly. Nothing is needed to make it work at all, works with shadowgun, gta III partly (except in car, cant move forward!) and cordy
i have an icontrolpad that works perfectly with mame and the other emulators. Also works with any game that is icade compatible.

Do you have the model number for this controller? Logitech makes several controllers and I am looking to get one. Saw some bad reviews on the accuracy (analog joystick) on some of the Logitech controllers.
i have the universal OnLive controller and works with emulators. Connects via bluetooth
Xbox 360 Controller
I have a wired xbox 360 controller (from my pc) which works perfectly on GTA 3.

this model is the g-uf13a model so far its been pretty spot on for pc and for the transformer
wireless xbox controller works flawlessly for some games but very buggy with GTA 3
I prayer there is hope.
Are there any bluetooth controllers that work? My Transformer isn't rooted and I don't own the dock so have no USB
Thanks
Start a thread for that please, thank you. Going by this list, you at least know the onlive should. If you find more that work via Bluetooth, please share here too .
Just got my PS3 controller to work with sixaxis android program via bluetooth.

I use a PS3 controller with the Sixaxis Controller program as well. Works perfectly on a Rooted Transformer with Emulators. My favorite right now is Majora's Mask on N64oid.
I have yet to try it on GTA3 or OnLive though. If OnLive works properly in my house, I may consider investing in their Universal Controller.
has anyone tried the ps3 controller with Modern Combat 3? If not, could they? That's really the only game I want to use a controller with, so I'm waiting to hear if it works before I go out and get one.
Thanks in advance.
Questions like that belong in a separate thread in Q&A or in (one of) the threads on MC3, not in a list of controllers that work with this tablet, thank you in subsequentessence .

Just a warning to anyone that might mistakenly get a Rumblepad 2 (which looks very similar) or Rumblepad 2 Wireless I can't get em to work with the transformer. =[
Rumblepad 2 works with my galaxy nexus. Is there any way to change key mapping in GTA III?
sixaxis program
Anyone getting the sixaxis program to work on an unrooted tf101, i got it paired with my ps3 controller but to map keys i want to use sixaxis controller program just wont run , even tho ics on the tf101 naitavely supports ps3 controllers do you still need to be unrooted??
Wii's wiimote also work like a charm on ICS using WiimoteController. I've tried two wiimotes at the same time to play N64oid and MAME4droid and no problems, just have to edit the input settings to map buttons to your like.
I'm looking for a controller to use with my att
note. What are my options? I used to use the Wii mote with classic controller on my old iPad. It didn't work the same here. I see these female usb adapters do they work using a ps3 and or xbox controller? They all say Android 3.0 or higher. Or how bout the Gamestop wireless controller. I have all the consoles so i rather use a controller i already have if possible. Btw I'm looking to play gta3 and emulators snes nes gba.

Well i read wii mote doesn't work with touchwiz our something. i just figured there had to be someone who has had some progress. I don't wanna be buying things if it doesn't work right now. They all say honeycomb 3.0 our higher for usb host.

I've seen it work, but that has always been on custom ROMs, not sure if the use of a wiimote is restricted to custom ROMs due to proper BT drivers being cooked into them or not. I never really had any desire to try it, but you're making me curious now as I have a Wii with all the toys and add ons that no one touches anymore.
Well there isn't many roms yet. I did try saurom with the wiimote and it wouldn't fully sync. The remote was found but kept blinking and just shut off. Is there a usb host on the g note? Does the female adapter work. Cause i have seen the gs2 with that working on stock ROM and this phone isn't far from that. It would be awesome to use the xbox wireless receiver.

Have you tried Bluez IME?
I had wonderful luck with that, but then again I was running CM7. It becomes a keyboard input, and the android thinks you have a bluetooth keyboard.
Give that a shot.
I no longer have a wii to try it out on :/
Im using sixaxis to connect to a ps3 controller with bluetooth.
Running stock rooted.
Edit-to connect the ps3 controller you need the sixaxis app and you need to go to their website and get software for your windows pc(you will also need ps3 controller drivers), then connect the controller to your pc and use the software to edit the mac address to our phones bluetooth, the sixaxis app will show what your mac is.
They may have the same software for linux or macs, I do not remember.

Is it wireless? That'd be pretty funky to have to hook your ps3 controller into a pc in order to play on your phone.
I suggest a 6ft. Mini-USB cable attached to your laptop pc with a USB extension cable and placed on your favorite coffee table or flat surface. Add to that the HDMI cable for the note, and you have a pretty cool setup. Would it be practical? No. But would you earn major geek cred points?
You betcha.
Wait this is only to set it up at first right? After that i can use the ps3 controller at will? Without the pc.

On the atrix I could use the Wiimote perfectly fine. Unfortunately I believe it's a problem with newer galaxy s phones. I tried almost every app but no go so far.

Ok so the ps3 controller works flawlessly.wiimote won't work with touch wiz devices on stock ROM. Bluez ime don't work as far as i know unless i just don't have a supported controller. I couldn't get it to sync anything but for the ps3 remote just download sixaxis from the play store and the sixaxis pair tool from dancing pixels website on pc and connect the controller through usb cable, change the Bluetooth mac address on the controller and it will sync right up. This works for all games and emulators with on screen touch pads. I can now play all n64 snes nes games with a ps3 controller and gta3 sonic cd reckless racing all work amazing. Its the most useful controller app I've seen yet. Best part combine this with mhl hdmi out and you have a portable console in your pocket. Still haven't figured out multi player though.

most usb controllers should work as long as USB HID drivers work correctly. the issue would be button assigning. now that you've mentioned this ill give it a try with my old gamepad.

I am currently planning to purchase a lapdock for my atrix this Aug 7 when I will hopefully get enough birthday money for this (just can't spend outside of budget right now). I am trying to find out whether it is possible to use an usb based controller for emulators. The reason why I want the USB based one is to save on cost and be able to use the same controller on my bluetooth-less laptop for the PS2 emulations.
to clarify, I do NOT have any usb controller right now so I am looking for two things,
Do usb controller works with lapdock?
if so, which controller comes recommended?
Bonus point if the controller is tiny and have all of the controls that a playstation controller have.
P.S.
If this is just impossible, I'll just go with the bluetooth Nyko Playpad,

PS2 Emulation? On an Atrix with lapdock?

Deafcyclist said:
no, PS2 emulation on my Toshiba Laptop. PS1 emulation on my atrix/lapdock. This is why I want a controller that I can switch between the two anytime I need to. Unfortunately, my toshiba laptop do not have bluetooth :crying:
If PS2 emulation on an atrix ever come to pass, I would love it! but I honestly doubt it. In the meantime, I want to be able to play basically everything from Playstation 1 and earlier games.

Wow, this is kind of eerie, and lucky for you at the same time. I just recently decided to buy a PS3 controller for me to use for FPSE on my Atrix using Sixaxis Controller app. It works perfectly, and it's connected using bluetooth. I use the PS3 controller even when my Atrix is mounted on my Lapdock, still using Sixaxis Controller. So, to answer your question, Get a PS3 controller, 'cause it'll work on your Atrix while using Lapdock. As a bonus, you can charge the PS3 controller via USB on the lapdock (which is what I do.) The best part is, it also works perfectly on a Windows PC using the DS3 tool. I use the same PS3 controller to play PS2 games on my PC. I can even help you out in setting it up if you go through with it. Hope this helps. And sorry if what I said is a little confusing. I just got excited 'cause I was wondering the same thing as you, just a few weeks back.

my logitech gamepad did not work, no sign of it on android, but i only tested it with hd dock and neutrino rom. im not on blur for now but maybe on the weekend ill test it with blur.
for those who have ps3 controller, is it OEM or third party? i was thinking of getting one but i have a wii and got classic pro which works great on n64oid, much better joystick sensitivity than wii64 with gamecube controller.

The PS3 controller connects to your phone via bluetooth. It's more convenient in my opinion, compared to hooking it up to your lapdock's USB port. I know it's not exactly what you're looking for, but i think it's a better solution. Your thoughts?

For the PS3 controller, it has to be a Genuine Sony Dualshock 3 or Sixaxis. Otherwise, you'll have a problem connecting it to Sixaxis controller, the app used to pair the controller to your phone. I haven't tried using a Wii controller, or any other controller for that matter. I decided to try the PS3 controller, and it works excellently for me.
I know the wiimote works just fine, i even have the gamepad connected with it, and use it for my snes games and whatnot. look up Wii Controller IME by Ryan Frawley in the store. =]

@abetsi
that was my concern all along, not being compatible with sixaxis. ill just wait until i really want one. not very much of a cellphone gamer. i have dslite and 3ds.
@Deafcyclist
it is possible ics has even more drivers, so i might test it later. as i recall to pair ps3 controller with sixaxis a PC is required, its through usb. i suppose it can be used like you want it.
edit: testing new jellybean alpha and my logitech gamepad works, both joystick and dpad. i have not tested any game yet but its good news native usb gamepad support.
Deafcyclist said:
I am okay with connecting to the atrix/lapdock with bluetooth, my main concern is whether I can connect a PS3 controller directly to my TOSHIBA LAPTOP (not the lapdock) via usb. I know that a PS3 controller have a mini-USB port for charging, but I'm not sure if this can be used to get the PS3 to connect via USB. If this is the case, then this controller may be perfect for me in pretty much every way except for it's size (I wanted some really tiny controller, heh)
el_venga, I wonder if CM9 have better USB support in general? I'm using Jokersax's CM9.

I'm pretty sure it'll connect to your laptop. I'm using mine on my MacBook Pro running Windows 7 via USB to play PS2 games and such. As long as you have the correct programs to run it, I'm confident that it'll work.
Hi,
I want to connect a ps3 controller using the cable to my international rooted s3 but have a question.
How does the phone recognize the ps3 controller with the otg cable? Does the cable come with some drivers to be installed or do I just plug it in and attach ps3 controller and it simply works?
As far as I know, no drivers are needed. Just plug your sixaxis and il will work (you'll have to map the keys into the game anyway).
You shoud also consider using "Sixaxis Controller" to use it via BT.

Is there a difference between a SixAxis Controller vs a wireless ps3 controller? Sorry I dont own a ps 3
I never tried to use a wireless ps3 controller other than the sixaxis.
Many wireless controllers needs a dongle to connect to the PS3. You should ensure that the one you have use bluetooth without any dongle.
In the case you need a dongle, you'll have to connect it with a usb otg cable (you won't need any drivers as I said).
I can't guarantee the "sixaxis controller" app will work with a different one.
Interesting thread,i actually own a ps3 and a gs3 (^^) and never believed i can use my sixaxis via Bluetooth on my galaxy, which games are supported?
Inviato dal mio Samsung Galaxy S III con Tapatalk!
Virtually every game can be played with sixaxis. Some support are native (you'll have to map the keys anyway) like mame, etc.
For games wich can be played "only" with the touchscreen, you'll have to use a special mapping on sixaxis controller.
You'll find some profiles in this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1800342
For information, GTA III is also supported. I'll have to work on Onlive profiles soon.
Hope that helps.
I picked up a ps3 controller from a second hand store for ten pounds bargain i thought.
