If i have the prime usb adapter and the xbox 360 pc wireless receiver could i use a 360 controller?
Ive had no Dice getting it to work. Tried a 360 wired pad and it didnt work either. There is an app on the store that in theory should work with XBOX pads.

I have the USB keyboard dock and have been able to use a Saitek P990 wired USB controller as well as my wireless Microsoft 360 controller with the PC/USB wireless receiver. Works great for me.

Nope. Just plugged the USB PC wireless receiver into the dock, hit the button on it to start the receiver sync; too my controller and hit the sync button; and they were synced. One thing to know though is that unlike the regular 360 or PC, the little 360 logo on the controller will always be flashing in a circle as if it's trying to sync, even though it's synced up.
In other words, it won't lock onto a particular player 1-4, but just keep spinning around forever, that's just the way it is.
According to the Nvidia rep at CES, the prime comes preloaded with the major USB controller drivers, including the 360 USB wired controller. I saw it being used with my own 2 eyes.

Shadowgun and GTA3 are so much easier to play with the Xbox 360 controller
Mine wont work...
I have tried to use my 360 wireless controller with wired PC dongle and a 360 wired control in the USB port of the dock and the wireless dongle lights up then i sync the control and the light goes off and the control wont map. The wired one doesn't even turn on (flickers on then off .2 sec) when plugged in. Am I missing something do I have a defective doc? I have done this before with my WII-mote that works find but I much prefer the 360 control. I also happen to have a ps3 control and that also doesn't work with the USB cable and the six-axises app. App says its compatible with the Transformer Prime but it always just asks me to pug the USB in. Any ideas? Does the Dock need a certain amount of charge does it have to be plugged into the wall to have enough power?
I actually hated using my 360 controller with GTA III. I was looking forward to it, is there a magic controller config kicking around somewhere, or am I destined to only looking around whilst standing still?

Ive upgraded sucessfully to 3.1 and thuoght that xbox 360 controllers are ment to work. not managed so far - does any one know how to get them to work ive tried wired and wireless ones.
i take it no one has then?
Its strange seeing as there are some reviews coming out with the xoom on 3.1 getting to use xbox 360 contollers.
Do you have the dock? I've seen reports of people not having luck getting it to work that upgraded to 3.1 but no mention if they are using the dock or the female to female usb adapter method that is floating around.
Also the update that is floating around is not the OTA one so it may not be complete.
yeah i do have the dock... hope the ota update has the drivers for xbox controllers. would be awesome!
After updating to 3.1 I tried plugging in my usb gamepad to the dock, and loaded up Snes9x. Tried remapping the keys to the gamepad and it would say the keys were mapped to "none" no matter what button I pushed on the controller. The TF definitely knew that there was a gamepad plugged in, but it seemed like it didn't know how to map it correctly. So I tried playing Cordy like they did when they showed off 3.1, and all the buttons on the gamepad would make me run and jump to the right. So from what I can tell, it does register that there is a usb device plugged in and working, but it just won't map the buttons correctly . I don't have a wired 360 controller to try out, but I tried plugging in my PlayStation 2 controller with a usb adapter, and the TF wouldn't even register any of the button presses.
I tried a ps3 compatible pad this morning with n64oid and it worked once I mapped the controls. Didn't have time to really test thoroughly but seems to work on the leaked 3.1. This tweet from asusuk seems to confirm it for the official 3.1

Is this only possible for people who have the dock? Does it have to be via cable??
Thanks guys!
Only docks.
I mean the tablet doesn't even have any USB ports.
Any way to pair it via Bluetooth, or maybe get it to connect through the asus propriety cable?
Doubt it. Xbox 360 controllers don't use blue tooth to connect to the console. The asus cable would have to be modified somehow an you would lose a cable most likely.
asus PR fail?
i got the OTA 3.1 update here in the US yesterday. when i plug my usb 360 controller into my dock, the ring of lights continuously blinks. the controller does not seem to register with cordy or with any emulators i've tried. i think the origional (mis)information that this would work came from the AsusUK twitter account.
can anyone in the UK confirm that this doesn't work for them?
After the 3.1 update i plugged in my old logitech pc controller and fired up snesnoid and everything works perfectly.
Unfortunately you are equating 'supported' with 'devs have created apps that now work' with said support. The gamepads will work as long as the apps have been updated to use the newer code.
All I've tried so far has been an old PS1 controller plugged in via a cheapo usb pc adapter and it worked flawlessly in fpse. Oddly enough it was even letting me control the home screens in android as well. Although the button mapping was all off for that trial.
then it seems logical that we call a controller 'supported' by android if it can switch homescreens. if an app is coded in such a way as to support the controller then we can call it 'supported' by that app and the controller becomes useful. i believe the generic key mapping features of most emulators are good enough and should work for the 360 controller, that is if the OS can recognize it. i'd wager that if a USB controller can not switch homescreens then it will be impossible for an app to make use of it.
both google and asus advertise that the 360 controller should work on the transformer after the 3.1 upgrade. mine can not switch home screens or do anything else at all besides annoyingly blink its lights.
i think my 360 controller not working is a bug and that makes me sad.
i would very much like to be proved wrong here.
I'm using a USB female to female adapter w/ this and it will not work for the life of me. Maybe the adapter is bad but it will not connect to this for nothing.
Note: Using XBOX360 Controller
has anyone tried connecting it trough a usb hub?
I got XBox 360 controller with USB which work fine on PC but doesn't work with my Transformer under Android 3.1
It seems Google forgot the XBox 360 drivers :s
Nobody on this thread manage to got the XBox 360 working ?

Can you look at the back of your controller and tell me the model? I've got a emulator list with controllers that are working I would like to add it to. Check the DIY link in my signature.
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 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.

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?

I've been trying to figure this out for a few days now and everyone who has paired is either rooted or has a dock/USB dongle. I know it's possible to use the controller without having root and apparently it's possible to pair it without using USB but I can't get it to work at all.
I used the Sixaxis Pair Tool on my PC to set the address to my Prime. According to the instructions, as soon as you unplug and hit the PS button, it should be paired...but it didn't. The Prime picked up the controller in the Bluetooth menu but when I tapped it to pair, it asked for a PIN. I tried 0000 and 1234 which both didn't work and can't find any info on how to find the PIN. I also found someone that just said to keep cancelling when it asks and it eventually pairs for some reason but that didn't work either.
I tried pairing the controller to my phone but it doesn't even detect it (I entered the BT address) and the sixaxis app says the phone is not supported. So I put it back to my Prime's BT address and now my Prime won't even detect the controller at all like it was before. I was able to pair my phone and Prime together with no issues and the controller (original Sony brand btw) works fine on the PS3.
So has anyone here gotten a controller to work in this situation? Or do I have to use this as an excuse to buy the dock now?

I'm not sure. I have the dock and my PS3 Controller only appeared in the BT devices section after I Plugged it in to the dock.
However.... I was thinking... the Proprietary charging connector goes to a USB plug. Could you use a female USB adaptor to connect your PS3 controller to to the tablet (without the dock)? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Female-USB-...XX2Q/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1330594457&sr=8-1

I just got my prime yesterday, and I got my ps3 control work by just plugging it into the usb, pushing the centre button, then in bluetooth settings on the prime, I switched it on, scanned for devices and my ps3 control appeared so I selected it and it said connected. Then I just unplugged the usb and it worked.
I played sonic episode 1 and shadowgun with my ps3 control wirelessly. No root, no extra app downloaded. I'm going to try some more games today just to be sure.

I can tell you that it will not work. The prime has no USB host controller in order to connect peripherals for communication. It only can use the built in port to communicate with other devices that do have a controller. To get a USB host controller you have to use the dock or the adapter.

From my understanding it only works with a wired controller. Or a Bluetooth PS3 Controller. Same applies to my Transformer prime. Also note that you do have to download the SixAxis App for the PS3 controller.

I thought you only needed that app for pre-ICS ? Have read a few places that ICS natively supports PS3 controllers...
I tried the ps3 controller and it is natively supported, at least through usb. I haven't tried bluetooth yet.

The Play-and-Charge cable is just that: a charger. It doesn't carry data signals. To use a wireless 360 controller on anything that isn't a 360, you need one of these: Microsoft Xbox 360™ Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows®
I have 2 of them, they work great on a PC, but I've never tried them on a mobile device.
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
