Just got my two fling joysticks in today:
Games played:
Gorilla Bob
Death worm
Pew Pew 2
Samurai II
The good:
I think the fling joysticks idea would make for excellent buttons. When placed over onscreen buttons, they work really well. Just tap them like you would any gamepad button.
The bad:
The problem is the joystick radius is too small. In Pew Pew 2, Deathworm, and Samurai II the joystick does not extend to edge of the onscreen joystick, so you move really really slow. Gorilla Bob was a perfect fit to the onscreen keyboard. But the fling joystick just isn't that accurate. I found myself dying a lot more than usual.
The Ugly:
It's dirt cheap plastic. I feel like I'm going to break them every time I use them. I have a feeling they won't last a week in my tablet case. The first time I set down my backpack wrong, they will be broken. Secondly, they don't slide too well. If they don't make flat contact with the tablet, they may not register.
Putting them on the screen requires pressure (Not light pressure either)!!!!
Which means you can potentially damage your screen is you put them on incorrectly. Best to put the suction cups over the border.
The base of the joystick is a painted magnet (might be plastic instead of paint, not sure). While it might not damage your screen, I'm not willing to take that chance. I wouldn't use them on a screen without a screen protector. However, gluing a piece of felt or fabric to the bottom might make a huge improvement in the way the joysticks handle, and protect your screen.
The potential silver lining:
I think the fling joystick may work very well over a onscreen dpad, i.e. emulator. The do not work well on onscreen analog sticks. I will try some emulators later.
Comparison to other joysticks with my score:
360 Controller: 10
PS3 Controller: 9
Onscreen Android joystick: 6-8
Fling Joystick: 1-4 (may change after testing with emulator)
Advertised price: $20 (USD)
My Cost: $9
What I feel they are worth: $2 (may change after testing with emulator)
Might be better over onscreen dpad. Will test that later.
If I get bored, I may try out Thumbies by Psyclone. Since the fling joystick would make an excellent button, the thumbies might be pretty good, if they line up correctly onscreen. I found I can get the entire set for $9 on taobao(3 d-pads, 1 4-button, 1 3-button, 1 2-button, and 3 single buttons).
Thanks for this. I've been looking at these joysticks and I think I'll wait for something better now. Seemed to hold so much promise..
Is it possible to use a wii controller with these games? or will that only work for emulators?
If the games will allow you to use a keyboard or joystick, there are ways to make the wii controller work.
Glad I didn't order when I felt tempted
Thanks for posting this.
I love mine. They only work well with on-screen analog sticks like in Nova 2 and Galaxy on Fire.
I bought 2 but quickly found you only really need 1 because the right hand is all over the place.
They do feel SUPER cheap and fragile but they work very well. They literally should only cost $1 or $2. But they give a nice resistance to moving around. Anything with an analog interface will work great. It probably won't work so well with controls that use separate buttons for Up/Down/Left/Right though, although most games come with several options for control schemes. For sizes, some games allow you to adjust the size of the onscreen joystick so you aren't "walking slow".
It really depends on the game I guess. Some games work well with it and others don't. Buttons would be a nice idea but again, all games place buttons in different positions.
If they standardized the size of the virtual joysticks so you can reach the outer limits then this joystick would be perfect all around. The button idea (I thought the same) is also give and take on the game.
Unless someone made a "virtual controller overlay" where it is the same overlay and you just map buttons to the games. Then you are getting into technical aspects.
The price is pretty steep for the plastic, but the idea is awesome. The joysticks, in my experience, REALLY help in enjoying the game. If you can pick one up for a few bucks I would. I keep mine in its nice little pouch and use it when needed.
I recently picked up a so far pristine Apple bluetooth keyboard for pretty cheap, and I was wondering if it was possible to modify what each key on it would do, like the function, control, option and command keys, as well as the F keys. If possible, I'd like to make them work how a Transformer dock would work, as it's current in use by a TF101. Any help would be appreciated, and I do apologize if this is in the wrong spot.
Hello, anybody used Sculpt Mobile Keyboard or the Arc Keyboard on the PRO 12.2? How is it?
What are the differences between keyboards for Android and normal keyboards for Windows? Can I assume that as long as a keyboard is bluetooth, it should work with Android tablets? I suppose keyboards for Android tablets have cut/copy/phase buttons.
I have an old Microsoft Arc wireless keyboard that I used to use for my HTPC that works fine with the Note Pro using its USB dongle plugged into a USB OTG cable. Hotkey combinations like CTRL-C and CTRL-V work just like they do on a Windows machine.
I also have a Logitech Tablet Keyboard that's a standalone unit that opertates on Bluetooth. I cant say that I recommend that one, it's a battery killer whereby with the unit switched off (this is with a hardwired switch mind you) the two AA batteries will die after several weeks unused. Hard to believe I can go a couple of months using my cable/TV remote control every day as opposed to storing that keyboard unused and turned off.

Do you mean this: http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/tablet-keyboard-android-win8-rt?crid=26
Besides being a battery killer, how is it compared with the Logitech PRO for 12.2? My tablet is white. It is a bit strange to use a black Logitech PRO case with keyboard. Also, I heard that it is quite heavy compared with the Logitech Tablet Keyboard. Am I right?
Yeah that's essentially the one. I think they made a couple of variants and that is the latest incarnation of it. Mine is the 3.0+ but it looks exactly the same.
I'm stuck trying to decide whether or not to buy an integrated keyboard case. I'm leaning towards not doing so because if I'm going to lug the tablet around in a thick keyboard case I may as well carry my rMBP. I bought the note pro to carry with me practically everywhere I go so turning it into a laptop is NOT on my wishlist. On the other hand I do want a keyboard that I can shove into a suitcase when I travel such that I have somewhat of a laptop replacement once I'm at my destination.
All of that said the difference between the Logitech Tablet Keyboard and the Logitech Pro Keyboard Case boils down to whether or not you always need the keyboard functionality. They both weigh about the same once in a bag, though you save a few ounces on the stand alone keyboard compared to the keyboard case. With the keyboard case you'll have to deal with the keyboard being part of the tablet all of the time and it will undoubtedly be heavier than a plain book cover type case (the Samsung Book Cover Case is a full 0.75 lbs lighter than the Logitech Pro Keyboard Case).
I have the note pro 12 and bought the very light but very good samsung bt keyboaed. It's designation is bkb something or other. It's about $35 on ebay and has many hot keys linked to the np12.2. I also have several by mice but just ordered the samsung action s mouse which i also operates hot key-like on the np12. Carrying the np, keyboard and mouse is featherweight compared to a my old macbook air.
I don't need a keyboard all the time. A lightweight, comfortable keyboard is nice. Somebody mentioned about the Logitech Bluetooth illuminated keyboard K810.
i was looking around for a long time for a keyboard that I didnt have to always use and could have it not be attached to a case or anything. Also the size of the keyboard and how well it worked. I ended up buying the sparin ultra thin bluetooth off amazon on my way to work really quick. I got it a few days ago and it is very very thin and light and the length is about the size of he tablet (a little smaller). it sits perfectly on the rest of my 3 angle case when its all the way up or I can sit far back and use it. he keys are not that rubbery kind and are actually larger size keys , bigger then my laptops buttons. Also I can use the buttons to control the usage of my device and has a mail button that brings up your email and voice search button and even a button that you can press to bring the virtual keyboard back up on the screen or away so you can use either without having to reconnect it everytime. Easy to setup , turn switch on push button to pair bluetooth and thats it. here is the link if your interested and it was only 15 bucks.

Hey guys, so, I know there's a lot of you out there who are thinking of getting a controller for your shield tablet, thinking you should get a console controller w/ bluetooth or something of that nature, but I honestly think this is the best controller out there, despite some of its flaws. This isn't really a professional review, just some pictures and captions xP But I think it'll give people an idea of what to expect. The pictures were relatively big, 4000x3000, so I had to resize them all to 1024x768 on postimg. You can click the thumbnails to get a better view.
So as far as the box goes, there's nothing really much to say, it's mostly in chinese.
There's not much inside the box. Just the controller, a charge cable that's about 3 meters long, and an instruction manual.
The sheer size of this thing after first holding it literally had me laughing for about 10 minutes, just actually taking in that I'm holding this gaming device that is now about 13.5" long was just funny xD
After playing with this thing for an hour or two, going back to the Vita, the Vita felt extremely tiny in comparison.
This thing has three modes to pair, each is selected by turning the controller on while holding either X, Y, or A and pressing the home button at the same time. There is Keyboard, Gamepad(What you'd use), and mouse mode. Gamepad is X+Home.
Showing off Black Ops 2 played through Gamestream here:
The controller works very well with gamestream, practically no input lag AT ALL, but there is some video lag though that's NVIDIA's fault and will hopefully be lowered in the later months/years.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACTUAL REVIEW NOW
Now, onto some actual reviewy type stuff, the pros and cons. The build quality for this controller is absolutely FANTASTIC for $30, It feels much better than my Moga Pro in every aspect except portability, but for a tablet I'm sure you aren't expecting that anyway. The sticks feel amazing to the touch and have just the right amount of resistance, both the face buttons and the top buttons feel nice, just everything feels great and it's hard to believe this thing only costs $30, but there are some cons.
Not exactly a con: Ports
The ports are hidden as you have the controller fit as snug as possible, but it is completely possible to raise the tablet up higher while it's in the controller and have every port shown while still having a tight fit. It'll look something along the lines of this.
I kid you not I was flinging this controller up and down and left and right and even with the tablet in that high, it didn't budge at all, this controller holds your device in very well.
Pro: Works with Gamemapper
For some reason it's 2015 and we still have FPS games that don't have native gamepad support(NOVA 3). Luckily, just hold the start button and you can bring up NVIDIA's gamemapper.
(60/40) Con: D-PAD
Don't get me wrong, this is a really great D-PAD...For everything other than fighters. It feels nice, it works almost perfectly, the problem is, diagonal inputs don't read as naturally as they should. You have to kind of put more effort into getting the D-PAD in the diagonal portion of the gate to correctly get a hadouken or whatever you want out. It's kind of frustrating. A side note, for some reason, the Home button doesn't work at all. Not sure if I have a broken controller or if it just doesn't work correctly with Lollipop.
Con: L2/R2 (LT/RT for you X360 users)
Even though they feel nice to press, I can't get over the fact that these are just buttons, and not actual triggers. I don't even want to try a racing game with Gamestream because of how much it'd fail. They work fine with everything else though.
All in all, this is a very nice controller, and even with those cons, I'd recommend it to ANYONE looking for a controller for ANY tablet. Definitely the best bang for your buck.
MY SCORE: 9/10

Solid review. I had the same controller a while back for my Nexus 7 and it worked well . I sent it back along with my refurbed 7 to Amazon a few week's back while deciding on which tablet to purchase next. After picking up the Shield Tablet the other day, I decided re-purchase this one instead of going with the Shield controller. The iPega's ability to hold the tablet right where your hands should be helps deliver a more immersive experience which can't be said for just about anything else out there.

Yeah, definitely. I used to use a PS3 Controller for the Shield Tablet and was considering buying this prototype looking thing, http://www.shapeways.com/product/BJXE3ZRK3/ps3-controller-nvidia-shield-tablet
Then I considered just how top heavy that would be and decided to look elsewhere. This is definitely the best tablet controller hands down.
I agree this is a very good product for the price and handles very well when gaming. Though be weary, if you choose to have your Nvidia Shield in a full body case which increases the thickness of the tablet, then its not going to fit securely. I got the iPega 9023 first, then got the the Poetic Revolution case. And the frustrating thing is, I want both, but currently the tablet when in the case doesn't sit securely in the controller, the controller loses its grip, and springs back into its default size, pushing out the tablet.
well sir.
The iPega 9023 is known to use ****ty joysticks with incredibly bad deadzones. Firmware compensation for those deadzones prevent simple replacement of the sticks with better equipment. Im surprised you rated it so high. Even given the extremely low asking price, 25$ is better spent elsewhere. For those considering this piece of junk, its hard to see in a video, but you should at least do some homework before blowing your money on this thing. There have only been 2 known revisions, the 2nd edition being nothing but a palette swap. I had high hopes for a gamepad tablet holder. Even after doing the research i purchased with the intention of just replacing the sticks. Having done that, its very clear the problem is both firmware and hardware, and there's no easy fix.

If you root your tablet, you can set custom deadzones for any gamepad in the android system. You just need to edit the appropriate .kl file, I've done it many times for Xbox 360 controllers and the Moga Pro gamepad.
ok
How you do it
Explain please
I like so far the ipega but I want more.
I think nobody care
Can anyone measure what is maximum stretch of this controller?
I own 10.6'' "cube i7 stylus" tablet, with length of 273.77mm (10.77'') and I am not sure if it is going to fit.
It is advertised as 10'' maximum but maybe it can be stretched more?
Thanks!

Gamemapper does work with most controllers I believe. I believe you have to hold start to get it to come up. I don't use stock anymore, and use Tincore all the way, so its been a while since I ever looked at it with curiosity.

It autodetects the iPega. There is nothing special about using it with Tincore and to tell you how to use it would be just posting what already exists in the Tincore guides. My advice is, Tincore does ALOT which you probably won't need. Focus on just the aspects you need and ignore the rest.
Here is where I've referred each time I've got stuck using it:

Hi, when battery dies, can I use it wired? I mean using an OTG USB cable on a Windows tablet (Lenovo Miix 2)
Hi. Does the clamping work with vertical orientation? I wish to buy this controller but I prefer vertical orientation since I played a lot of DS emulator and it's better in vertical orientation (not to mention the hassle of having to rotate the phone back when trying to reply instant message)
Hey everyone,
I've been looking at the Rog Phone 2 as a potential upgrade for awhile now, and am considering buying it on Giztop rather than waiting for a US release. I would like to get it with the Kunai Gamepad 2 (seems like a perfect gamepad for emulators and I really like joy-con style controllers) but I can't seem to find it anywhere. Does anyone know where I can find the controller or if it's even been released yet? For those who may already have the Kunai Gamepad 2, how good is it compared to other attachable android controllers?

Not yet released bro. It comes out december 2019
Kunai gamempad, already available in China
Kunai gamepad it's already here. I've got only the version to attach it to the phone, since i don't need the adapter to use it as an independent Bluetooth controller.
It comes with the central bumper, the 2 joycons and 1 adapter from usbC to jack, in case you don't wanna use the fan but still wanna use the headset, since the default jack will be covered by the bumper.
It has some presets already for few games, and the rest are completely customizable. I'm still configuring it so I can't give an opinion yet. I can only post 1 picture from the phone.
If someone has any other question, let me know and I'll test whatever I can. View attachment 4851177

Very nice! Does it feel comfortable to hold in hand? And how is the deadzone recognizing on the right analog stick? Usually with these gamepads the right analog stick sucks for things such as aiming and whatnot. I liked how the black shark 2 had a touch pad but it was u comfortable to hold after awhile.
Giztop, Asus Singapore, and B&H here in the United States have been taking orders for a week. You can get it by the end of October or so. I do look forward to finally having it

Yeah, the right analog stick is not really useful... On shooter games, it still better to aim using the touchscreen. You can adjust the sensitivity on each game though. Left stick works great

I'm that case do you have to have both controllers connected to use them or can you do it like the flydigi wasp?

you dont need to use both. it come with a side protection for the bumpers in case you only want to use one side of the controller. The fact is that when the controller is pluffed, the touchscreen stills working, so it doesnt matter if you plug or not the right side of the controller, in shooter games you can still aim with the right joystick or with the touchscreen on the same time. if you remove that part, then only the touchscreen will work. Even air triggers still working on the same time if you want

Kunai gamepad it's already here. I've got only the version to attach it to the phone, since i don't need the adapter to use it as an independent Bluetooth controller.
It comes with the central bumper, the 2 joycons and 1 adapter from usbC to jack, in case you don't wanna use the fan but still wanna use the headset, since the default jack will be covered by the bumper.
It has some presets already for few games, and the rest are completely customizable. I'm still configuring it so I can't give an opinion yet. I can only post 1 picture from the phone.
If someone has any other question, let me know and I'll test whatever I can. View attachment 4851177

havent had that one hour gaming session yet! haha.
according to my short experience:
Call of duty mobile and PUBG: right analog stick is way more slow and imprecise than using the touchscreen, rest of the buttons are great
Dolphin emulator Game Cube / wii: I manily lost all my time tryint to set up this. Problem is, you can set up only 1 mapping setup per app, that means that when you change the controller type (freom wii mote to game cube controller for example) then all your set up it's a mess. The best solution is first set up the key mapping for the kunai, and after that, make fit both Game cube and wii controlers to that previous set up, but i lost a lot of time until i figured that out :silly: tonight I will continue testing
Havent tried anythin else. Saw that brawl stars also is compatible but didnt try it yet.

i see, thanks for ur kind response! gonna note that
How do you map the controller to basic games? Is there some kind of app or does game genie recognize the controller and you can go in there to remap the controller? Is the remap only applicable to games that support game pad or is it to any game? Reason I am asking is because I don't play pubg shooter game. I play generic games. Can you also use it as a basic Bluetooth controller?
Sorry for a lot of questions, these controllers are quote expensive and there is no return, so I have to make sure it serves my purpose.

It works in a similar way than Air triggers. Actually, exactly the same. when you open the game/app, swipe the game genie from the right side, and you will see a new icon there, called Kunai, just under the air trigger's icon. You press there, and then the whole screen will dim a bit, and there you will overlay the whole layout or the buttons that you need, on the app/game interface, an that set up will be saved for that game/app.
To use it as a bluetooth controller, I think you will need the central piece of the Kunai, which I don't have, because the inclusion of that piece made it to double the price. At least here in china, the options I saw were:
- Bumper where you put the phone in (via USB-C) + Kunai left&right = 499 rmb
- Bumper where you put the phone in (via USB-C) + Kunai left&right + central piece to attach Joycons and where I think the bluetooth connection is = 999 rmb
in my opinion, second option is a bit too much since i dont plan to use the Phone as a docked console, but if you do, it might be an option. the thing is that there is no power button or charging port on the kunai that I have, energy only comes through the usb when the kunai its attached to the phone, thats why I guess the central part (that i dont have) will contain the battery and the bluetooth feature, and somehow justify its price.
Thanks for the response, i pretty much got all the answers needed. Since i map/overlay the button layout, i am definetely getting one. I got the cheap Ipega Bluetooth controller, although it works but i can not find a way to change the layout.
In the US the option to buy the controller that i saw is: _ Gamepad, the Gamepad grip and the Kunai Bumper case = 150 usd (999rmb). I would think this is the second option you mentioned and they is no option for return. This is very expensive that is why i asked the questions. I plan on using the Bluetooth capability of the controller and may end up using it as an additional controller for my Nintendo Switch with the help of an adaptor hopefully it works.
So far do you like using it? is it comfortable enough?
Please share the name of the suppliers in China where i can get the - Bumper where you put the phone in (via USB-C) + Kunai left&right = 499 rmb
Thanks

You are welcome. Well, i live in China and I've got it from Jingdong, kind of the "Chinese Amazon" let me post the link

Hope it works, but i don't think they deliver to any other country outside China. My Chinese is not good enough to check that

Is the right analog stick that slow on these games? I thought on buying it for COD mobile and some other rpg / mmo games, but the right stick is usually the aim one. If it's much slower it might be a deal breaker for me.. And that's a bummer =/

In my opinion, yes, the right stick sucks for aiming. Maybe it's me, you could give it a try. Good thing is, when the kunai is attached, it stills comfortable enough to aim using the touchscreen and shoot with the kunai trigger, Just ignoring the right joystick. I havent tried any rpg/mmo game yet. If you mention any, I will give it a try.
My mmo games are mostly lineage 2 and world of kings..
But I play more shooters games (well, COD actually..).
Have you tried playing with the sensitivity options in game?
Ot is it a lag issue?
If it's a lag issue I won't buy it probably =/
