I searched around and didn't see this mentioned anywhere, so I thought I'd give the heads up.
I just got my (new) TF300t and I decided check out its' gaming capabilities (never had a Tegra tablet before). So I put the tablet in the dock, loaded up Shadowgun because it sure does look pretty and I heard it had controller support. Specifically, I heard it had PS3 controller support. Well, I tried plugging in my PS3 controller via USB and it wasn't recognized - got nothing out of it. So I dug around my closet and pulled out my Wireless Xbox 360 controller for PC[/URL]. Plugged it in, and it worked. I was pretty impressed with Tegra graphics and I hope the market grows.
After about 45 minutes I decided that was enough for now, and exited out of the game. At this point I unplugged wireless Xbox 360 controller receiver and the tablet completely locked up. After about 20 seconds or so, it rebooted.
So I tested it again: Loaded up Shadowgun, plugged in wireless controller receiver, played for a few minutes, exited, and unplugged, and sure enough it locked up again.
The next time I was back at the home screen I decided to plug the wireless receiver into the dock again WITHOUT playing Shadowgun to see if the game had anything to do with it or not. Nope. I plugged it in and then unplugged it and the tablet locked up again.
For the record, I also tested two other USB controllers: the Logitech Cordless Precision, and the Ion Go Pad. I plugged them in and out of the dock several times and had no problems with either.
So apparently the Wireless XBOX 360 Controller for PC has a problem with this tablet. Or maybe it's just me. Anyone else try it?
(I tried to post links to the actual Gamepad's I was testing but I'm too new to post links, yet.)
I'd like to believe that this is just my tablet, but I've been through two now and both suffered the same issue. If anyone has any experience with this, please feel free to share.
TL;DR: Microsoft Wireless 360 Gamepad for PC will cause your TF300t tablet to lock up when it is unplugged.
you can use the PS3 controller via bluetooth.

Yes, but unfortunately the app to sync the ps3 controller requires root, and I haven't rooted this device yet because I'm not 100% sure I'm going to keep it. I can't take it back if it's rooted.
I'm having issues where the tablet locks up and reboots from time to time. (mostly when browsing the web).
You can give it back if you just root as long as you don't unlock your device.

But make sure you downgrade to v9.4.3.17. . .thats what I had to do and then O.T.A to each version, while restoring the root backup with OTA RootKeeper

FYI
This root app has been confirmed working on certain versions of the ASUS Transformer (TF101), Transformer Prime (TF201), Transformer (TF300) Devices.
This includes
v9.4.2.15 for the TF201
v9.2.1.11 for the TF101
v9.4.3.17 for the TF300
This method (as it is currently implemented) no longer works with:
v9.4.2.21 for the TF201
v9.2.1.17 for the TF101
v9.4.3.26 for the TF300
You can use this downgrade method to revert back to a supported ROM in order to use this root method and then you can use OTA RootKeeper to keep root during the update that is pushed (downgrade method is confirmed on TF201, TF101, and TF300).

You don't need root or a special app, the 300 supports the PS3 controller out of the box. Just plug it in via USB and and switch the controller on. Give it a minute or so to to sync MACs and then swap over to bluetooth. You can reconfigure the controller buttons in Shadowgun itself (why don't all games allow this - especially NOVA3!?).
A quick FYI
I just got my Asus USB adapter the other day, and one of the first things I plugged in was my old Microsoft branded Xbox 360 Wireless USB adapter to play around with it, and had no problems at any point before, during, or after plugging it in.

USB adapter isn't the same as the dock, which is probably why it worked
Kinda OT, if one has a wired Xbox 360 controller and has the dock does it work, and is there the same issue that OP had?
PS/3 Pairing Tool doesn't require root - Google Play - cost $2.75
This problem seems to only happen with android gamepad drivers. A workaround is to remove the pad from dock, then remove xbox wireless adapter, then place pad back.

Alright I'm not sure if you guys are aware, but our phones are capable of tv-out via HDMI, and this is done via the MHL protocol which attaches an adapter to the usb port for simultaneous charging/HDMI out. Taking advantage of this I thought "hey it would be awesome to rock some emulators", but the traditional bluestacks/wiimote combo is not compatible with our devices due to some driver issues and samsung bluetooth stacks. So I scoured the internet looking for a solution that wouldn't involve me having to buy a bluetooth peripheral, and found out about "Sixaxis" control; this app allows one to use their existing PS3 Control as a joystick/input method, and works extremely well. It's worth the buy and is extremely smooth.
So After you have and have set-up the Emulator with your rom; you've set-up the Six-axis control from the instructions, connect your phone to your TV through MHL, set-up the input settings, and have fun!
Here's my Set-up

That shocked me too. I paid $50 for a phonejoy to get around that.
I too was already expectant of the lack of bluetooth for stock roms, since I tried the same with the Captivate. But a random google search showed it running on the Galaxy S II (International Variant), so i gave it a spin!

Ya know even with the video I was a skeptic. To test it they have a test app that can be used to verify it will work. You still need to go through all the steps and part of it involves a pc but the whole thing does work.
I loaded snesoid and mapped the joypad and buttons on my ps3 controller to the emulator disabling the virtual pad and the trackball options while I was at it. Once done I was playing super mario all stars on it pretty easily. There is virtually no lag between the controller and the game.
Tested on a stock rooted rom. No custom roms flashed at all which means I definitely used the standard samsung bluetooth stack to test it.
im running UnNamed and it says its not compatible. any ideas? or do i hav to run CM7?

First of all your phone needs to be rooted for the application to access root permissions, then install that app, and there's 2-3 times it'll ask for root permissions where you have to grant them. It should say it's compatible.

Running Sixaxiscontroller will cause a semipermanent bt_wake wakelock in the kernel. You need to reenable (and maybe also disable) BT in the main Settings menu to clear it.

Original, knockoffs don't work well.
I uses a generic PS3 looking wires remote before to play games like N64oid and other cool games.

I have the same kind of problem. Since the upgrade to .21 the USB port is not working at all.
I cannot connect any USB device.
I have another Prime that is still on .15 and with that one there is no issue with the USB port.

Well then at least with a second person having this issue it must be the update.
But as for my USB everything works except the gamepad. which sux ass! I wanna play my N64 games on the TV via HDMI man! Hopa they fix this **** asap!
Just got a usb otg cable and ps3 mock pad which works just fine, however when trying to get a wired Xbox 360 controller to work, it doesn't seem to like it.
So I did a little search and found an app which someone has used in a video to show off exactly this as well as other otg connectivity.
The app is called USB/BT joystick center.
There's is a free version which is the only one I can get for the galaxy s 3, the paid for version isn't available apparently, even though I think it may work, I've no issue buying it but I can't as it won't let me.
The problem I have with the free one is that I install the center app, which is needed, I am able to see my Xbox controller, then there's a second app which is used to map keys etc.
This app always says that the center app is not installed?
There is very little info out there about this app and this particular error.
I know it can work on the galaxy s 3 as I've seen it in a video, it has been posted on xda recently and it is legit.
Does anyone have any ideas on this please?
Many thanks.

Yea that's exactly what happened to me, so what I did was switched my old evo 3d on and signed back into it, for whatever reason its available on sensation and the evo 3d. So I bought it, backed it up with titanium, copied the back up to my phone, restored it then allowed it to verify my email address, which it did and now it works
What a pain in the Arse that was.
Now I've got the problem of trying to decypher the actual app lol, all fun an games.

If you're Rooted then Market Enabler might help see it in the Play Store (for newcomers to the thread).
I just saw this on Reddit; might be old news to some, but this is the first I've heard about it. Apparently there is a $1.38 (on Amazon.com) cable that allows you to connect various USB devices, and if the device supports USB OTG, you can run flash or powered hard (not portable) drives, keyboards, mice, or even a hub to use more than one. If the device doesn't, it can be added with root, or included in a ROM. I'm not a developer. I'm not even a programmer, so I don't have the first idea on how this could be done. But a Bluetooth keyboard is around $80, and this will allow a $10 keyboard to be used, or a $10 mouse, for a cost of about $12 for one, $22 for both, plus whatever a hub goes for. So having USB OTG could save some folks a lot of money. Plus if they want to use a USB controller for gaming, they can save the cost of a PS3 controller entirely (about $40).

After reading my response and the subsequent responses, I realize that it probably came off flame-ish. My apologies. It wasn't so much the topic as it was posted in the dev forum. They frown on that, unfortunately.
I am open to questions if you have any regarding USB OTG. I had to mess around with various USB configurations until I found the right connections. When it works, it just works. But figuring it out from a Youtube video in another language made me want to write a guide. I hope it helps.
Good luck!
Well, I have a USB OTG cable coming at some point in the next week. I only paid 90¢ for it on Amazon, so it's not a huge loss if it doesn't work. I will consult your guide when I get it, if it doesn't just work. Obviously I'm gonna hook it up and try it as soon as I get the package.
I have two devices intended for it -- a 10" mini keyboard I got on Newegg for $15 (shipped). If I can't get this to work at all (and I'm sure I will be able to), I can use the keyboard for our bedroom computer, which has a half-broken, dirty, unwieldy "ergonomic" keyboard hooked up to it (and toss that one). Also a wired Xbox 360 controller, for mobile gaming.

The Chainfire program should be able to step you through the diagnostics of it. The biggest trick is getting enough power supplied to the phone plus the devices.

Any device that fully implements the standard USB HID protocol should just plug and play. A wired XBOX 360 controller should work, as well as the keyboard... as long as they don't require proprietary software/drivers to operate properly.
For my gaming solution, I went with the Sixaxis drivers for pairing with a PS3 controller through Bluetooth. That was pretty neat and it works. As far as keyboards, I have a wireless Logitech K400 with a touchpad which is fully functional. Using the one USB dongle which uses Logitech's 'Unifying' technology, I also have a Logitech M570 trackball mouse. So essentially, I carry a pocket-sized computer with me everywhere I go. Who needs a laptop?
Self-Powered USB Hubs work great with this setup, you can have multiple devices and Android (being based on Linux) will handle it as long as the kernel has the drivers built in. I've been having trouble trying to get external storage to work under CM7, but I also haven't been working to figure that out.

Hi all, I have a wired xbox controller (not original, knockoff) and i cant get it to work on my S3. I have got a PS3 dualshock controller to work so im pretty sure i do know the steps and what i need to do. However with the xbox controller it just didn't seem to work even though I've seen videos of it simply working when they plug it without installing additional apps.
The controller worked right off the bat on other phones that my friends own, HTC and Samsung note, again, without installing any other additional apps.
So i searched around and i considered the possibility that my phone did not have the layout file which turned out to be true so i did as instructed in this guide (i know its for nexus 7 but i thought it might pull it off):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1792531
But i just completed the steps, rebooted and nope, still zero response when i plug the controller it.
I did managed to get to connected and working with the USB/BT JoystickCenter DEMO but i dont really want to resort to paying money if i can get to work without the app.
I am running Android version 4.42 with CyanogenMod 11.0
