Hello,
I'm just wondering if a generic USB headset that works out-of-the box with normal Linux distros could be expected to work on the Prime. Or am I required to use special tactics to do so?
I'm ready to get into some code if it's something required. So if you guys have tried or have knowledge about what would be required, let me know!
I believe someone has used an insanely expensive XBox gaming headset via USB, but YMMV.

I just tried my logitech g930 and a plantronics gaming headset thats pretty old and neither of them work.
Thanks for your answers! So I guess I'll have the chance to play into it if I want to make it work. I'm still waiting for my order to ship though...
For what it's worth, JBuds model J5M has a functioning mic+earbud setup, and Klipsh S4A should work too.

Hey guys,
This isn't really specific to the Transformer itself, but kinda specific to HC. I figured with all the awesome emulators available for Android and how awesome they run on Tegra 2 (N64oid works great!), I'd try to find a nice bluetooth controller that works with Android.
Specifically I'd like one with analog sticks. Not sure if a good driver has been written yet for this, but if so, I figured someone on here would know.
The best setup I've found so far from my research would be to use a WiiMote with a Classic controller pro plugged into it. That setup might be a bit expensive though (~$40). I own Xbox 360 and PS3 controllers already, so I was hoping there would be a solution for one of those two (but not looking likely from my research).
Here is my ideal setup: Transformer + emulators (n64oid, snesoid, etc.) + HDMI cable + bluetooth controller = a bunch of old school consoles that can run on a portable machine that can be connected to a TV and also that has a wireless controller
Try this one http://us.codejunkies.com/Products/Wii-Wireless-Retro-Controller___EF000622.aspx
I use "wiimote controller" app. available on market for free, with classic controller plugged into wiimote. You can then use snesoid etc. to setup the buttons.
Played mario kart and zelda on snesoid using the dpad and the usual buttons but not sure if analog controllers work as have not tried them yet. Don't see why they shouldn't though.
Have a look at this..http://www.roms4droid.com/wii.php

^^^ That seems to me like the best setup. You can get an older edition of the wiimote for ~$20 and Amazon sells the Classic Controller Pro for I think ~$15 right now.
The controller I posted above is just like the classic pro but without the need to tether it to the wiimote.

But will that sync with the Wiimote app?

Have you ordered one from codejunkies? I placed an order through Amazon, but it's going to take a month to deliver. Wondering if codejunkies is any faster or if they are just a front end to the same manufacturer/wholeseller.
Edit - oh, I see that is actually a slightly different product. I thought it was the Datel controller. I wonder if it is as compatible as the Datel seems to be.
The one on amazon is the datel I just ordered it.

Man, wished I searched Amazon before I ordered one from CodeJunkies in UK. Still havent received my controller yet. I ordered over a week ago.
would it be possible to use another android device as a controller?
Good news, when we get the 3.1 update, it will support a "ridiculous" amount of usb devices, including the Xbox360 controller.

Do you think these devices would work via the proprietary charge cable with a female to female usb adapter? That would rock.
I hope there will be some sort of support for the 360 wireless adapter. I dont want to buy a wired controller when i already have the adapter and two wireless controllers!
3.1 Platform Hightlights:
Support for joysticks and gamepads
To make the platform even better for gaming, Android 3.1 adds support for most PC joysticks and gamepads that are connected over USB or Bluetooth HID.
For example, users can connect Sony Playstation™ 3 and XBox 360™ game controllers over USB (but not Bluetooth), Logitech Dual Action™ gamepads and flight sticks, or a car racing controller. Game controllers that use proprietary networking or pairing are not supported by default, but in general, the platform supports most PC-connectible joysticks and gamepads.

Can't wait to try out my Fanatec racing wheel, haha.

Great news! The number of controllers compatible with Android is seriously lacking.
I bought a PS3 controller to hookup to my Prime but realized that I need a USB port. Since the adapters are back ordered from Asus and Amazon does not carry it I tried to use a USB hub and plugging in the PS3 Controler and ASUS USB into it. That did not work. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get a Gaming controler to work with the Prime without a USB adapter.
WOW Guess I am not the only one looking for them since EBAY is able to sell them for 45$ each.
Download the SixAxis Compatibility checker to see if the Prime works with the PS3 controller.
Then Download SixAxis.

That app requires root access though.
As fas as I know, there are only two ways. The dock or rooting the TP.

Ah, my bad...
my understanding is the bluetooth PS3 should work regardless of the dock. I know you bought a wired but maybe you could take it back and get one of the wireless ones?
I intend to root and install SixAxis to connect my PS3 controller.

You can't root razorclaw only works on the first firmware version tablet shipped with and you are forced to update
I have the wireless PS3 Controler but other then having root access I cannot find a way to sync without having a USB connection.
I miss my Zoom. It was great having all standard inputs.
I can't believe Asus is turning into the next Apple...
Why would they block Root access? If anything, it only encourages more sales. They're telling us what we can and can't do on our devices that we paid for.

I'm sure Asus is not aiming to block root access it will get rooted no doubt
Because people do crazy things after they rooted their device, and unroot it and return to aus asking them to fix it under warranty. Im guessing they'll do it the HTC way where you give up on warranty when you root.

That's the way it should be. If you brick it, you buy it. haha
I also bought a PS3 controller after hearing all the hype about how the prime supports most console controller.
It will not work at all unless you use a usb cable and connect it to the dock (or have an adaptor). Once ICS comes out it is suppose to support the ps3 controller (lets just hope they mean bluetooth support).
The gamestop bluetooth controller that came bundled with my prime is a joke and a total POS.

Why is that? I just ordered one
I agree on the controller. For the most part its OK but for snes emu its a hair behind in sync. It's also very light plastic and would prefer a wireless controller from a company that makes consoles and gamepads for a living. I can get a sale on the ps3 controller for about the same if not less (40$ with bundle)

Per Mark who runs the Asus Facebook page in response to my question on this:
"As far as I know at this point, wireless in the works, and wired is working for sure. Will keep you posted if I get any new info. -Mark, ASUS"

Well... I am apparently not yet to link to another page. PM me for link of conversation.
Hi every one after doing some searching around and not seeing anything related I decided to make this thread. Basically what am trying to do is use my HTC Amaze 4G or my ASUS Transformer as a usb blutooth adapter for my pc running windows 7 so i canconnect my ps3 controller or wiimote via bluetooth so i can use it as a game controller. I figure since i have both of these devices that are bluetooth capable i wouldnt have to buy a usb bluetooth adapter. So does anyone know how to do this or if theres some required app or driver? Thanks in advance

So i'm guessing there's no such way?
Hi,
I thought when the prime said supports gamepads, this would pretty much mean all usb gamepads, but that isn't the case - I bought a ps3 looking pad from amazon which does not work at all in the prime but is perfect in ps3.
Question is: What gamepad do you use and how is the compatibility?
This thread is basically to get a list of gamepads that work and don't so that anyone getting a new pad knows the best ones to get.
Personally I have found the PS3 pad plugged in to be the best so far but I dont have many to try so could be way off. Comments and suggestions below.
Thanks
I've seen a couple of threads on this in Accesories section (where I guess this would belong to). I have a Logitech controller that I use with FPSE and some android games and it works flawlessly, but I'm swapping to a ps3 controller for bluetooth connection and touchscreen mapping.

I've searched like crazy but have not been able to find a way to make my gamepad work with the Prime. I want to use my Logitech Cordless Rumblepad 2 on my Prime. I've put the USB receiver in the dock, and checked gamepad in settings. This does not work(no surprise). Then went looking for answers on XDA an good old Google but can't find a way to do this? Is there a way to make this work?
