I have a Zagg Bluetooth keyboard for my Tab and was wondering if there is a way to use if for a game. Minecraft for example, I'd much rather use the WASD to move.
Does anyone know of a way to accomplish this?

at some point when i get time, I want to try playing some games on the LapDock. No..I'm not going to install linux games, I want to try playing games like GTAIII full screen from the mobile view from android, and hopefully get the controls working with the keyboard and a mouse.
I'm just wondering if anyone has done the same and had any luck with that or not?
playing some of those FPS games like Modern Combat would be fun with a kb/m
Unfortunately playing Android games on Webtop is not the best way since Webtop is not accelerated at all, so you'll experience stuttering. Also controls are not passed through the Webtop interface, so onscreen touch controls are unusable while on Webtop.
What you need is Landscape HDMI mirroring. Search the forums for this hack. This way you will be able to passthrough the accelerated video to your TV and use the onscreen controls on your Atrix. Unfortunately this will not be possible to use while on the Lapdock.

Have you considered the OnLive app? Using their (and possibly other's) controllers, you may be able to play games well enough. YMMV.
so this is interesting...

I havent tried it on the lapdock since the day I posted this,so I wonder if the keyboard would work now. I remember it being laggy tough.
But gaming on the lapdock with an external mouse would be bad ass
EDIT:
once we get ICS,this app should help,no?

Ive confirmed that GTAIII does indeed work with the keyboard now, WASD will move which is the main thing, AD will steer a car but WS will not gas/brake it, but the arrow keys work. Basically you can drive with one hand for gas and brake and the other to steer, works pretty well. I havent tried shooting anyone yet, still early in my gas with a pistol.
I noticed that the game plays pretty smooth if you leave the game windowed, but once you make it full screen, it starts to lag.
Modern Combat 3, and Hot Pursuit do not support keyboards or mice. I think all FPS games at least should support it.
I am playing n64 games with a wii controller on my lapdock since I got my hands on the paranoid ROM.
My general gaming procedure goes like this:
Reboot to tablet mode.
Sync with wii controller using WiimoteController App
put phone in lapdock
start n64 emulator (Mupen 64 plus AE - not available on the market atm. google it!)
play n64 game of choice (e.g. : Star Wars Racer, Super smash bros,...)
the great thing with the emulator is that I can map any button to any function so playing with the Lapdock keyboard also works.
If anyone can get the wireless xbox 360 controller to work (using the usb adapter) please tell me
Hi,
As there are a few apps that support gamepads, but none of them seem to work as well as needed...
I have 2 original PS3 controllers and one Logitech Chillstream PS3 controller. I haven't tried original ones, but I got an USB adaptor gor my galaxy tab 8.9 and connected it... I can see the controller and even mess around with it on home screen and some other places, but I also use an app called XPadder on PC.
As I suck at coding stuff, it's nearly impossible for me to do. I'd like a way to remap stuff, or select areas on screen to map to buttons on the controller. so that it'd be possible to play every game with it.
The only extremely hard thing seems to be running it in the background with full support...
It's just an idea thou... I will not be able to make this... maybe someone could actually do it...
Thanks,
J
I forgot to add that I'm running Android 3.2 with _motley kernel @1400Mhz
Right I have been using the tf201 for about 4 months now I love it to bits! Theres some things that get annoying with it but I believe theres nothing like it. Recently I stumbled across some games that I feel can easily be played better with a keyboard(and a controller which i figured out).
What I am wondering here is how could I play the games I want using the keyboard eg, a racing game which would use arrow keys.. is there an app for mapping the keys on the keyboard is there a tutorial link to such an app?
All support is welcome
Thanx for your patience
Try sixaxis. Not only does it let you pair your PS3 controller, set custom scren inputs per each button, but it also lets you use keyboard inputs in place of game controllers. Its a paid app but well worth the money.

is there any tutorial for this im awe full with these
Is there any app that allows us to play standard games like Real Racing 3, with the Lapdock's keyboard mapped for touch inputs? If anyone has gotten this to work PLEASE share. I will pay anything for the app
Looking to buy a Note 3 Mini Bluetooth Keyboard for playing certain games.
However, one of my games is not natively compatible with bluetooth controllers or anything so I'm wondering if there is an app that lets me map keys on the keyboard to touch the screen at certain coordinates when touched?
As for the type of keyboard, I'm most likely going to buy one of these ones:

If anyone has any other suggestions I'd appreciate it.
