Small game controller for Atrix? - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So since I have 4 emulators, including n64 and ps1, i'm getting tired of using the screen as the controller.
Is there any small device that can act as a small, portable game controller? Like a really small bluetooth thumbpad, but instead of letter keys, it has the standard gaming buttons? Something that can fit in the pocket right with the phone would be nice.
All I have found are full sized bluetooth controllers or bluetooth keyboards. I'm thinking of something as small as a speaker remote; for example, a gaming controller as small as this:

Anyone have any ideas?

You can use a WiiMote, for the N64 games you need the classic controler attachment.

---

Yea i love the ps3 controller. Its easy to use, wireless, settings are basically 1 button startup. ready to go.

---

has anyone tried non-oem ps3 controllers? i dont have a ps3 so im thinking of buying a controller. if third party ps3 controllers do the job, i would get one.

---

Im sure 3rd party controllers would work since they use the same communication protocol.. Dont really see any reason why it wouldnt..
now a small controller would be dope!

A 3rd party ps3 controller typically doesn't use bluetooth, but an rf dongle... It's a no go unless it's bluetooth

Wouldn't put money on that. I got a Sony Tablet S which does PS3 controllers natively, and a knockoff I bought didn't work with it, whereas my originals do. OTOH if say you can test out a cheapo unit and it works and you can get the exact model, why not.
you will find that third party controllers will sometimes experience issues after say firmware updates on PS3 etc. they are NOT identical to original sony controllers, though of course if they work for you then who cares

---

i have searched around and a 3rd party ps3 controller its around $20. they say its bluetooth and no dongle included. anyhow im going to wait cause i live outside usa so i couldnt return item if doesnt actually work.

---

i dont know anything smaller, but ive been using my ps3 controller like the people stated above.

This seems perfect for the OP

Think you need the bluetooth controller app (cant remember the name) to get it working tho, apparently works great with the emulators. Last time I saw them a cuople of months back they were £4.50 delivered, i should have got one then!
Isnt ICS supposed to support standard usb gamepads, anyone tried this?

---

I haven't used one of these, so I can't recommend them at all, but I was looking at buying one myself for £40:

It's bluetooth and I reckon the "side clamps" should probably fit the atrix (perhaps with a bit of a sugru mod) but if not then the "universal holder" will work to hold the phone above the controller.
Anyone played with one of these?

---

Like others have mentioned. I'm using PS3 controller with the Atrix. In fact, I use 2 PS3 controllers to play 2 player emulator games on Atrix with Lapdock running LS HDMI. I've a feeling those slim bluetooth gamepads weren't very good in touch and feel.

PS3 controller ftw!! Basically using PS as primary consoles for past 12 years so I might be biased for the feel of the controller though.

---

Do you have to have the app for the PS3 controller to work?

Yup. PS3 controller uses some funky bluetooth input that only that app seems to comprehend.

Right now im using classic pro for wii. Works great, best gamepad i have used in years, but lacks of portability. I bought it cause i already had a wii but i might get a ps3 one and build/buy a universal holder.

This looks pretty sweet. Uses a PS3 controller and has a wired or not wired option. Cheap too!

Maybe an usb pad (if youy use lapdock, it may come handy... I'm considerin to buy this one, mainly because is a 1/3 the price of an ps3 controller and because in this part of the world is very hard to find bluetooth things...
