Hello,
Does anyone have a fully working cheap game pad? I want to buy one but I don't know if a PS2 pad for example would work fine, or even a compatible one.
Any experience with them?
Thanks!
I dont know exactly how cheap you want to go but i got my Sixaxis off eBay for 20 bucks shipped. If you look for the old sixaxis controllers wthout rumble they are pretty cheap. Then you can either plug it in with a usb cable or purchase a 2 dollar app that lets you connect it wirelessly. (sixaxis controller in the market)
If you have the keyboard dock you could also just pick up a 3rd party xbox 360 controller. Im not 100 percent sure about compatibility but the Agterglow controller i have works great (lights and all). I think its made by PDP and I got it for 20 bucks at gamestop, where they have a great selection of used controllers too.
Other than that Im fairly sure that after 3.1 most usb gamepads should be compatible. If you want really cheap head down to your local thrift store where i sure thy have an entire wall of ancient usb gamepads.
Good luck an happy gaming!
I have a couple cheap ones and some work better than others.
SNES style controller with USB that works fine on Transformer
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002JAU20W
$9.15
If you want something with analoge sticks (note one of the two sticks will not work on transformer) then I went with a wired xbox controller
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003ZSN600
$29.96
I went with the xbox bc I have an xbox already, if you have a PS3 you might want to get one of those so you can use it on more than one thing.
I also have an xbox 1 controller with a modded USB cable (just cut the wires and match up the colors) and it works great. Since they are so old they are pretty much free and have actually more buttons to map then the 360 controller.
I also have a NES Style controller like the SNES one it was cheap but for whatever reason it does not work on the transformer but I use it on my PC all the time.
Be careful buying cheap controllers, they are cheap for a reason. They cheap controllers (and sometimes the expensive ones) almost never compare to genuine console controllers.
If you can stick with PS3 and 360 controllers, they work and they work great. Just buy used if your looking to save some money. I have both a wired 360 and a wireless PS3 controller I use with my Transformer.

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:
Dear Valued Customer,
Currently TF101 does not support it, but I will pass your test result as a VOC(vovice of customer) to the related dept.
Sorry for any inconvenience. Wish you have a nice day.

I would not count on this being resolved anytime soon.

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.

At least now I don't need to buy another controller.

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 bought the Logitech F310-controller. It works fine with N64oid and ok with Reckless Racing & Getaway.
However, even though I select gamepad as control method I can not get Shine Runner nor Air Attack HD working. Do these games work for other people or do these games require a PS3-controller?
I bought the logitech F510. In Riptide GP works fine, but 3D games, like Shadowgun, cannot be played, because right analog doesn´t work correctly. I try Kernel module pack V4 from this forum, but it not help me. I think it was a mistake bought this gamepad. Perhaps I will go buy PS3 controller...
Dumb question but do you need the dock for this to work? I bought it thinking I can just pair with the Bluetooth.

Yes, you need the dock to plug it in via usb. Unless of course you have an OTG USB adapter, in which case you would plug it into that.
I briefly had the F710 before I returned it and bought an excellent condition used-PS3 dualshock 3 from Gamestop. The only game I attempted to play was Grand Theft Auto III, and it worked perfectly fine for that. I much prefer the Sixaxis method though because you create touch profiles for games that don't support controllers.
EDIT: Should note that the Logitech F310/510/710 series controllers are all well made, but not nearly as comfortable to use as a PS3 controller (which itself is one step below a 360 controller imo). However, you can use them with a PC relatively easier than you can a Sixaxis.
I couldnt connect F710 to S3, is there a special way to do it?
I can't connect F510 to S3
Someone use F510 on S3?

How is the PS3 controller working for you? I have the 710, and it seems like it works about half the time. I am now running CM10, and it worked better with that than any other rom until the latest nightly. I would love something more reliable and consistent. Would you still recommend the PS3 controller and Sixaxis?
I have the Sony Dualshock 3 Sixaxis and works perfect via Usb Otg and wireless with Sixaxis App!
I have and the Logitech F510 that it's a perfect gamepad for pc gaming and very durable!!
But my Samsung Note 3 Neo (Kitkat Root) can't see it...

havent really looked into it much, but i think you need some sort of USB adapter for the 360 controllers.
MS decided to use actual wireless technology instead of bluetooth. so you need a USB wireless adapter for it to work i believe.
best bet is to buy a used PS3 controller as that uses bluetooth to connect.
Or you could get the keyboard dock, it has a usb port... I use it with a 360 controller to play games all the time.

Thank you i'll testing.and What games have you tested with x360 controller ?
Any game in the market place that says "controller" is good to go. As well as any emulator that has a controller input function... so all of them basically.
Hi all,
I noticed that with the most current nightly the CM team released it shows enabled support for Xbox 360 wireless controller. Can someone clarify and maybe show how to get this going. Did a quick search through my phone but didn't see anything. Any help would be great!! Thanks! :good:
Anyone??
Does anyone know anything?? I feel like I broke into this thing as much as I could and I got nothing!! Am I the only one with an XBOX LOL
I can't confirm this but here's what you would likely need to use the Wireless Xbox 360 controller on Android:
- Samsung USB OTG adapter
- Microsoft Wireless USB received for the Xbox 360 Controller
- A wireless controller (duh)
Plug it all in and it should work. For a simpler hookup, simply take your USB OTG cable, plug it in and get a wired Xbox 360 controller. Done and done.
For an even better experience use a Dualshock 3 controller 10 times more quality than the shoddy Xbox one. Funniest part is, I don't even own a PS3. I only have an Xbox 360 which I haven't used in years, and once I got my DS3 controller for my PC/Android phones I've never picked up my 360 controller again. It's just garbage in comparison. Everything about the DS3 controller just feels like quality compared to the Xbox one. Not to mention it's full black and sleeker = sexier

Awesome!! I will give this a try! May try that Dualshock as well! It does have a better feel!! Thanks for the help!
Hi
I have used many controllers with this tablet and for some reason the right axis stick never works and no way to configure, tried both wierd and connected with a otg cable .
Used:
Xbox 360 wierd controller
Xbox one controller wierd and wireless
Ps3 dualshock wierd
Ps4 wirless and wierd mode
Cable used: ugreen otg from amazon sorry cant post link
Any suggestions please.
I love the one I got for my Switch. Also works on PC (wired as a 360 controller and Bluetooth as a Steam controller) and with Android through Bluetooth. N30 Got it on Amazon. Works great, feels good, and feels like it'll last. Don't miss the NFC or HD Rumble of the true Pro Controller, which aren't even an issue as an Android controller anyways.
Hi, no one have the answer ?
In europe cannot find the sunwaytek sg-n30 , no even on ebay.
Any alternative ?
Thanks in advance.
