most android apps can work in the HDX with the Fireos, eventhough the Gapps isn't in it , You can use ESexplorer do the googleplay's job. So I guess you can use the Sixaxia Controller app.
I know, this is how i launched psp emulator and others. But sixaxis app is strictly binded to google play. Maybe someone has an experience whitch particular controller works with hdx?

I've tried Sixaxis on the gapps rom... Unfortunately, I was unable to pair my PS3 Dualshock controller.
According to an Amazon post, Bluetooth gamepads are not supported on the HDX (unless they have a keyboard mode):
The problem with both of those is that even with Android 4.0.x the Fire OS still has host mode disabled on the USB port and only implements part of the HID protocol in the Bluetooth stack. Unless it looks like a Bluetooth keyboard the Fire is not going to talk to it.
Well, is there any controller, that will suite this requirment? Or is it hard to develop some kind of bridge between some abstrack bluetooth keyboard and real controller? I' am little experienced with .Net development, but never tried anything mobile. I' ll make little research about this.

Which game controller do you recommend? I'm mainly looking to use it on my tab for emulators and whatever android games are compatible with a controller.
I was looking at a sixaxis just because it looks like it can connect wirelessly with the app but I'd be willing to buy a USB connector and flash a kernel to make a controller compatible. Also I don't know if the dual shock 3 controller works with the sixaxis app. (I'm not sure if that's an entirely different thing)
I guess I'm mainly wondering which controller is most compatible, meaning full joy stick control and things like that.
Thanks if you can help me out!
I'm currently using my PS3 controller with the new Sixaxis App from the store. All you need is Root access and to pair your PS3 controller with a PC to tell it what your tablets Bluetooth MAC address is and it should work. I've been using it ever since with all my emulators and it works like it's supposed to.
There is also an app from the same dev to test if the controller works with your device but if its a GT 10.1 and a regular PS3 controller there shouldn't be an issue.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
If not I'm probably going to grab a sixaxis but I want to be sure I'm getting the best since I'm not tied down to a controller for a console I already own.
Thanks
There is already another Q & A thread started by me from a while ago where some people listed a few alternatives. Just search the Q & A forum or check the first few pages and you will find the thread. Since I already own a PS3 and the other controllers aren't that available in my country it was an easy choice for me. Hope that helps.
I see that Kindle Fire HDX now supports bluetooth controllers. I was wondering if anyone had tried using a PS3 wireless controller with it. Did it work? I know in the past you could use A Playstation 3 wireless bluetooth Sixaxis controller but you needed to have a rooted android device and run the sixaxis app. I'm wondering if there support is now out of the box or if you still need root to make this work.
Can't you try it?
I went ahead and tried with my PS3 controller and HDX 8.9" The HDX would not see the PS3 controller when I scanned for bluetooth devices so it looks like it won't work without root and the rest of the software needed.

You need to side load the six axis controller app then sync it to your ps3 controller I have done it on my phone, but havent tried yet on the HDX. If I have some time over the weekend I will try to set it up and see if it works.
Did that but I can not find where to enable sixaxis support under keyboard and language so yeah its still not useable becuase of the settings setup in Fire OS
I also do not have root becuase ADB is not working with my Kindle Fire HDX apparently
Edit: Ok managed to get root by using another PC but the sixaxis app does not see the controller still even with root and the IME set to Sixaxis Controller. I type the address that the Pair tool on PC gives me and it basically tells me no controller found.
I was basically following the steps on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1779347
Same error here

Have you tried it using an OTG cable?
OTG does not work in general, so you will not have it connected anyway.
As for gamepad I have purchased nyko playpad pro and it is working.
Hello,
i tried to connect my wireless Xbox 360 Controller over an OTG-wire with my Lenovo s6000l Tablet. The lights on my controller and wireless adapter show me that my controller is connected, but my tablet show me no reactions. The App BT/USB Joystick Center does not find the controller. I tried to download the Vendor files from another thread in this Forum and copied them on to my Device.
I even tried to connect my PSX-Controller (PS1) over an PSX to USB adapter with my device, but the buttuns had a bad configuration. The app Sixaxis Compatibility Checkers tells me that my controller is found when i click on Start but when i press Pair Controllers it says that he couldnt find any controller and i should connect one through USB.
After searching the Internet im still without any solutions. I hope you can help me and thank you.
Sry for my bad english

I FIGURED IT OUT FINALLY! If anyone has problems with their Android not working with otg devices. Once your rooted any of arter97 kernels will make any most any popular otg controller work with no modules or anything! It's great! So excited I've been trying to figure this out for a week now. I HAVE A ONEPLUS 7 PRO RUNNING ANDROID 10 OPEN BETA 8 with arter97 kernel. Works perfectly with Xbox 360 controller connected via otg thru the Xbox 360 witless reciever!!!! I have 16 Xbox one and 16 Xbox 360 controllers and otg is the only way to play 4 player GameCube and Wii emulator games on Android with dolphin emulators. niceroms.com has every game ever created for GameCube and Wii to download free
hi!
I've recently bought the fire HD 6, and was thinking if there are any compatible bluetooth game controllers.
I was thinking to connect it to the TV and use it as a sort of android game console.
Thank you very much
Root and use a PS3 controller is probably your best bet.
The Ouya controller work just fine. Just press the OUYA button (located on the low center in the controller), and when two light start blinking, search as any device at bluethooth menu.
The Ouya controller has an integrated touchpad and can be used as a mouse on your screen. But if you're planning to play a game, remember it's depend if that game has the controller button mapping or you'll need to use Tincore Keymapper to do it manually.
I already rooted my KHD6, so I did the controller test after root, but I'm pretty sure you don't need the root to make it work. I use the same controller on my NON-ROOTED Fire Stick TV and works just fine.
PS4 Controller works like a charm, Played Pokemon On Myboy for a little while, while it was linked to my Chromecast.
I would say a PS4 Controller works out of the box as well, as I wasent rooted at the time.

I just bought this controller about week ago and it work with HD6 (I only use GBC,GBA, and Drastic emulators). They work good so far. I haven't test any Android games yet, but I assume it work fine. This controller is awesome. I used with my HD6, phone, and laptop. Recommended!
