I have not been able to get the PS3 controller to work on my prime when I plug it into the dock with a USB cable. Is there a setting I don't know about? Every time I press the ps3 button, it turns on my PS3 and connects to it instead.
Now I'm wondering if my USB port is broken because nothing that I plug into it works - mice, USB stick, controller...
I didn't even realize you could use ps3 remote with the prime just plugged mine in but the controls were kind of confusing and weird is there certain games the ps3 remote is good for or something?

I'm guessing by remote you mean controller. I don't think the PS3 remote has a usb jack.
To answer your question, there are thousands upon thousands of extremely well made games that you would use that controller for.
See here.

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.
Best Regards,

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.

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.

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.
Does an actual WIRED xbox 360 controller work with the prime right when you plug it in. I've seen some say it will some say it won't.
Yes it works 100%. With Games and Navigating the menu.
My name is Optimus Prime and I send this message..
I'm a little confused does the play and charge cable work as well?

No, all that ever does is charge the controller.

I'm not sure if that's true. I've plugged in a wireless xbox controller into a console without a battery pack and without being synced to that console, and it's worked. I've always assumed its through a wired connection.

Nope, just power. It's missing the pins and wiring on the inside to relay controls.

He's right. I tried plugging in my charge and play controller and all it did was charge the controller. I wish I didn't sell my wired controller
I just picked up the Prime myself, and went out and grabbed a wired xbox 360 controller. The controller works great to navigate the prime, as well as Riptide, however when I read in the Tegra zone, it mentions pressing the guide button, until the light is solid on. My light is aways blinking, kind of annoying, is this normal?

It's normal.. and it will work anyway.
It even works with the wireless 360 receiver.. so you can use a 360 controller wirelessly if you have one of those..
ohwow the wireless work? The Tegra page said they didn't, wonder if the new firmware fixed that? I have one of the receivers but didn't even try it. Already bought the wired controller, but I did get it on sale for 27 bucks, think I'll keep it, thinking as far as portability goes, carrying around just a controller rather than reciver + controller sounds easier. And you really dont need to be far from the tablet.
r u guys sure because i swore a long time ago i used the charge cord to plug one into my computer to use as a gamepad. could be wrong just know i used to have a controller for my computer and i don't remember having a wired one
I personally couldnt get any of them to work. However i am rooted and my ps3 controller works. So ive been using that. Didnt really keep trying with the 360 controller. Which to be fair is far more comfortable than the ps3 one.
Might try again.
Has anyone tried using one of these in splashtop HD?
Just interested to see if it actually relays back the controls to the PC like it is actually connected. if so then i will be very happy!
Also what about onlive, Anyone got around to testing the controller on that?

Anyone know of a good game controller? I would prefer one that plugged into the usb port, but anything has to be better than trying to play NES games with the touch screen as a controller.

I'd love a bluetooth one.
Well through searching I was able to get my wireless PS3 controller working. It'll do. Would like a smaller attachment one, but it does the trick. Here's how if anyone is interested...
http://www.sgnoteforum.com/topic/15...ler-as-a-gamepad-to-play-games-via-bluetooth/
In fact, PS3 WII and XBOX 360(guides to how are on the bottom) controllers all work on the android, as do most USB controllers that you use with the PC.
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):

Im looking to see if its possible to use a bluetooth keyboard and be able to connect the ps3 controller.
I connected the controller using the sixaxis controller app but in doing so it shuts off the use of bluetooth to other items, hopefully there are other ways of doing this
The reason im wanting to do this is because I have a G2 with a shattered screen and want to use it as a htpc in my living room. Using the usb is out of the question since I will be using an hdmi slimport adapter. I would like the added benefit of using a ps3 controller for some of the games, but dont want to lose the ease of the keyboard for email and such

I'm pretty sure Bluetooth only allows one device at time.
Look into a USB otg "hub"
wont a hub mess with the slimport hdmi out?

Bluetooth definitely connects to multiple devices at a time. I was able to use my bt keyboard to send pictures over bt to my other phone and the cursor was working the whole time. But as far as the ps3 driver I think I'm just gonna have to live with one or the other.
