PLEASE do not kill me, but I can confrm that Wiimotes work. Dunno if Accesoires like a classic controller work though, not yet tested it.
I only have ps3 one and it seems highly integrated with the tablet now - nice status bar icon, easy way to disconnect, connect both wired and wireless way, navigates through the home menu, etc. I tried ps3 controller with onlive app and it works but directional buttons need long press for some reason, not a big problem as left analog stick seems to replace this functionality, also i believe a,b,x,y keys are swapped in places and do not correspond their physical location on ps3 controller. This was based on a couple of minutes play with lego batman and batman city

thanks..
any variations in controllers dual shack, sixaxis..sry i never used these so no idea wat should I buy
ONE MORE THING: I am more inclined towards Gametel as it can be used with Xperia Arc as well and its size quite small??

If you haven't got PS3 and need to buy something I would not know which one is best. I paired the first original ps3 controller which is a bit lighter but doesn't have vibrations. Haven't yet tried the ones with vibrations and don't know if vibration itself is supported by any of the games so may as well save on the weight.
For onlive I suspect their universal controller would be better because of the labeling of button corresponding their setup plus extra recording etc buttons. You can recharge both controllers from the tablet I think, but onlive may accept regular batteries instead as well - at least their non unoversal does. Don't know how it pairs and navigates through home screens.
Double check if the other one you are considering pairs via Bluetooth for wireless option.

ohk, going to order ps3 then..
one more thing, do I need to buy the OTG USB Adapter from Sony? or anyone will work??
EDIT:
I just came out from Sony Store, i came to know that PS3 controller only works with PS games...I tried Real Football 11 n some other android games, none of them worked with PS3 controller.
Finally I am going for GAMETEL CONTROLLER.
sent via awesome aRc (rooted 2.3.4)
that is not true I have used my ps3 controller on none playstation games and it works great
I don't know about real Android games, but got my cable today, works with PS1 games, emulators and the system itself. Like PS3 taker said, highly integrated
edit:
And as everyone should know, games should be programmed to work with gamepads in general
can u try Real Football, bike stunts n some other good titles like Samurai Vengeance, Asphalt6, Tank Hero, etc..
sent via awesome aRc (rooted 2.3.4)
Asphalt 6 is a no go. You can control the menus, but not the car. Samurai 2 is a no go too, you can run around, but the buttons arent mapped at all. Likewise with duke nukem and unfortunatly, Onlive. More recent games like Shadow gun and sonic cd work like a dream though
thats y m more inclined towards GAMETEL controller as it has been developed keeping in mind abt Android games, u can see the list of games supported by Gametel.
sent via awesome aRc (rooted 2.3.4)
Is the problem that these games don't offer controller support, I could see no reference to controller support in the menus for Real Football. I know Grand Theft Auto 3 is a game that supports controllers and the PS3 one works great with that.

I downloaded a patched version of onlive app from the onlive helper thread in xperia play forum on the third page there approximately and it works with ps3 controller but maping is slightly off. Square is a, triangle is b, dpad seems to only move after continues pressing but left analogue seems to replace dpad moves perfecty. I played lego batman with no problem and warhammer for bit and found both totally playable. I hope some repatches it properly

I'm pretty sure the controller has nothing to do with whether it is compatible or not, it's up to the game dev to add in the bluetooth controller features. But I don't know that from personal experience so I could be wrong . Some offer manual mappings as well for increased compatibility.
At the end of the day the general populous doesn't walk around with a bluetooth gamepad in their pocket, so unfortunatly it's something most devs don't support.
It's hard finding games that work on our tablets in this forums, so I've started a thread.
I will keep a list of games that work on our Tablets below, so please keep me updated by posting and say which tablet you have.

I have a Sony Tablet S1, just hooked up a PS3 controller and am loving this even more..I have been trying to find games to play with it (mostly FPS) but finding out that there isn't much of a choice..
Currently have the following working with the PS3 controller :
Dead Trigger
Shadow Gun
Beach Buggy Blitz
CS Portable
Max Payne
Drag Racing
and of course Crash Bandicoot
I wonder how hard would it be possible for developers to incorporate the ability to use a controller
Also I wish there was a way to connect my tablet to my HDTV (mirror mode)
Does anyone else have a list of controller enabled games?

Hey guys, I'm new here!
Just wondering if anyone has had much experience using their ps3 or xbox 360 controller with their device to play games? I've been looking into it but I haven't tried it yet. I think it would be great to be able to use them for things like emulators because for example SNES emulators are a bit dodgy to play with touch controls.
I know there's a sixaxis controller app to connect your ps3 controller and I heard that you can use a micro USB to female usb 2.0 to use your wired xbox 360 controller. I also believe you can connect a wireless xbox 360 controller if you have a wireless adapter.
Any thoughts on this?
Hi mate.
I have for the USB adapter for the S3 where you directly plug your controller into your device.it works great and is instantly rcognised! I use the ps3 controller since its more portable.only issue is that the wire and movements may cause the phone to fall when your playing games so you will have to have a good stand. Also for most games, I've used GBA, nes, psx, n64 emulators and GTA Vice city you have to configure the controller which is a pain at first.
I also have used the sixth axis Bluetooth feature which is great as well.just have to get the controller IDs off the PC and configure them to the phones Bluetooth.if you connect the controllers to another device like their consoles or Bluetooth to a PC, the connection to the phone has to be done again on the PC which can be annoying. But If you have the USB phone adapter you can configure it straight away and use it wirelessly.
Only problem I have with this is that gaming can make the phone heat up so its beat to keep the case ventilated and in a cool area to avoid over heating.
But it works very well!

Hey, thank you for the information I have ordered a USB adapter to test out the xbox 360 controller which seems like the easiest option. I might get some sort of stand as well then because I can imagine it becoming annoying.. which leads me to think that although the ps3 controller seems to need a bit more messing around with, I like the idea of a wireless controller.
I was wondering about the over heating possibility although I've only really noticed the handset getting pretty hot whilst playing vice city.
Cannot wait to test this out!
Yep, as mentioned a USB On The Go cable works great with the S3. PS3 controller works just fine.. I think I remember having trouble with the 360 controller. And the sixaxis app does works great too
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD
Oh great, thank you that's good to know my PS3 is at university so I'll try that when I get back there in a couple weeks. As for the USB cable for the xbox controller, I didn't realise I needed an OTG cable (a normal one didn't work today haha) luckily they're cheap, it should arrive tomorrow
I use the sixaxis control app and my second ps3 controller.
You can wireless control your whole phone with your ps3 controller,like changing music and videos,scrolling trough the homescreen.
If you already have a second ps3 controller its pointless to buy a usb adapter since you can buy the app for one buck and have much more comfort.

Very true. Does it respond to vibrations as well? That would be cool. I ordered an adapter because I want to try out the 360 control as well to make a conclusion as to what my favourite is

Uhhh it seems fine in this section, don't think there was any need for you to comment to be honest!
i tried playing with a 360 controller and it wouldn't register the controller so, while it's a bit of a hassle to set up, you the PS3 controller is doable.

That's because people don't care about the rules.
To use a ps3 controller via the cable it will work natively, to use the Xbox controller there is an app called USB BT joycenter which is available on the market.
There is also an app called sixaxis controller which will enable bluetooth for your phone and ps3 controller.
To play the games on your phone there is something called a Gameklip which is available in the accessories section of XDA in the sgs3 part.
I've bought one myself and it's really well made and works a charm.
If you are thinking of using two bluetooth pads and using the MHL cable to send the signal to a TV that is also possible but MHL on the S3 isn't great, the vast majority of people have an issue with the screen being set at a low refresh rate, or being stuck on 720p.
I myself have two LED 3D tvs, one LG which shows the picture in 1080p but at 30hz
And a panasonic viera which shows it in 1080i @ 60hz, the viera is much quicker and the input delay isn't as noticeable.
If you go down the bluetooth ps3 controller route then you will want to check out the themes and apps section to get profiles for the most popular games for the six axis app.
Hope this helps.

Yes it does.
As for the xbox controller, it is a bit too chunky to play games on your phone, not very portable and you also have to worry about that big cable dangling around all the time.
Also there is a kernel (perseus) which apparently has support for the xbox controller too.

Thank you this information is very helpful.
I did not realise that android 4.2 makes it difficult to use Bluetooth devices. (I'm on cyanagenmod 10.1). Currently I am having trouble getting the Xbox 360 controller to work with emulators and any game for that matter using the USB BT joy center app. I'm following all the instructions and recommendations to a tee! Is this because I'm on 4.2? I know the OTG cable works because it recognises the controller in the app plus I can use a USB mouse with my device.
Also I never before considered using the Wii remote. I tried to pair mine but the problem was down to the fact I have 4.2 installed. Is there any way round this? I haven't found a solution so far. In don't really want to have to downgrade

I can vouch for the Gameklip with a PS3 controller. Works very well, and is remarkably similar to Nvidia's new Project Shield.
I use a wired connection to the S3 because it's simpler and also because I found sometimes SixAxis would get pushed out of memory and closed if I was playing a heavy game. Annoying if your controller stops working mid-game.

Hi,
Just picked myself up a 16GB Tablet Z-£315 in the airport in Australia, thanks very much!!
Loving it so far, after returning a Nexus 10 with a dodgy screen.
One big reason for me to keep it stock and not unlock the bootloader and flash AOSP or CM10.1 is the built in dual shock support.
Well I've just purchased a Dualshock 3 controller and paired it up and I've got to say/ask, how crap is this?? I'm seriously disappointed, it seems like none of the games I have work with it:
Delver:can move with left analogue stick, can rotate left and right with UP and DOWN on the right stick, can't attack.
Minecraft: Doesn't work.
Pixel Dungeon: Doesn't work.
Bridge Constructor: Doesn't work.
Lode Runner: Doesn't work.
Etc...
Particularly disappointed with Minecraft-on Nexus 10 framerate was like crap-works perfectly on Tablet Z but the onscreen controls just kill my RSI riddled hands and forearms, this version of the game would be so f&&king sweet with a PS3 controller on this screen.
Is there any knack to getting the controller to work? Does the rooted Sixaxis app work better than the 'built in dualshock' support? Do any games at all work with PS3 controller?
Thanks.
I was a little disappointed that more games didn't work with the controller natively myself, these are the games that I've tested that do work though: GTA vice city, dead trigger, shadowgun, and snesoid for SNES emulation. If anyone else has been using the controller successfully feel free to share

I've only used Shadowgun which was pretty good with a controller. If you look further down the list, he didn't link to Temple Run and also there was a Sony site linked that was a store of supported controller games.
I've purchased Another World and already own GTA 3, both work a treat with PS3 controller. Just a shame that Minecraft doesn't work!! Dammit
I think for now only game available on Playstation Mobile app (or Playnow) are compatible with DS3.
I don't know if the offer is still valable on Xperia Privilege app with 25euro gift, if yes use it to buy from PS Store.
Mega Blast work wirelessly.

LOVE this feature.
I use it for SNES emulators. Just had to map the buttons once, and it works flawlessly.
More Play store apps need to support controllers though, definitely.

What SNES emulator do you prefer?
I use snesoid but that's just because its what I've always used. It gets the job done and have never had a reason to check out any other emulators.
Such a shame they switched the upper left row of buttons with the lower right one, GTA 3 is kind of hard to play in this way. I'm using an SGP321 on .253 though so maybe it's fixed in .307?

I'm eager to try this, my phone is on its way to its new home, so as soon as it arrives I will check it with my PS3 and PS4 controllers. PS3 controller works like a charm on the Xperia tablet with no additional drivers, it is plug n play!
As for the supported games, I'm thinking that maybe all or most of the games on the Playstation mobile store are compatible, other that than I don't know. Cheers.
I can confirm that they do work together.
All you need to do is hold the share and home (PS) button together until the lightbar on the pad starts to flash, once done you just need to pair it via Bluetooth.
Let me know if you need any further help.

They replied that "The Playstation 4 Controller is not supported"
Awesome news ! :crying:
Maybe someone fixed the input lag issue of you guys?

It's coming soon. I saw it in an ad somewhere (Xperia Z2 running a game with PS4 controller in the background).
Z2 smartphone got already several firmware updates from Sony since the last post on this thread.
Did anyone try to connect the dualshock 4 to Z2 again? and see if it is working perfectly now?

They'll probably make it backwardly compatible, like they did with the Z.... eventually.

Not only will ds4 work on the z3 but so will remote play from the ps4, looking at specs of the z3 it seems no different to my z2 ,well z3 is clocked at 2.5 instead of 2.3ghz, but apart from that the differences seem to be cosmetic.
I am more than a bit annoyed about remote play being included, one of the reasons i bought a z2 (not only reason, but a main one) was sony's way of making there products connect to each other. I remember the ps3 controller worked first with an xperia phone before others. My phone isnt even 6 months old yet and instead of getting features added through updates it seems like sony are keeping these features to sell there next handset.
In all fairness tho, its only remote play and a few tweaks to audio player that make the z3 any different to the z2

Well mate, they have to compete with others, we are all whining about this 6 month old cycle, I myself as well whine about it,
but they cannot show up with nothing at IFA knowing that Samsung is gonna present their Note 4. They are clearly trying to achieve best smartphone of the year thing, but I think they should have gone same as Samsung, in first half of the year the Z line, second half Ultra line maybe.
It's kinda annoying when they are upgrading the same model twice per year mostly because no new things, especially now this z3.
They probably modded camera now how it should be, added HQ to speakers and remote control for ps4, I doubt we will see those things in z2 officially. But then again, we are being late with 4.4.4 with a good reason, most probably because those features, or at least some of them, are gonna hit z2.
And I'm being sceptic with this new IP rating. It's making me think what has changed, and does z2 suffer from building issue regarding waterproof, more and more I see threads about phone leaking water inside even tho I never experienced that, but that's mostly because my device was only few times exposed to heavy rain, but never dunked in water, nor it will ever be since it slipped out of my hand and I had to replace back cover.

i couldnt agree more.... if they want a 6 month cycle they should be doing it with 2 models, what annoys me is the specs are essentially the same, this isnt a new sony phone...... its an overclocked z2 with a few new features which claim to be exclusive but probably wont even need to be modified to work on z2.
