Hey everyone. I'm starting to get into more gaming on my mobile devices and now that I have an Xperia Tablet Z I'm getting even more into it because of the large screen.
I know the tablet has Dualshock 3 controller drivers built in and I've been able to try it. It worked easily and flawlessly which was great, but the problem is that I don't own any PS3 controllers. I've used an app that allows my to connect my Xbox One controller to the tablet which is awesome, but it needs to be plugged in the entire time and I can only connect one Xbox controller to the tablet at a time. I've realized that bluetooth is the way to go for having wireless gaming as well as multiple controllers connected.
So the question is: Will the PS3 controllers be my best bet to use specifically with the Xperia Tablet Z, or will I be better off saving some money on generic android bluetooth controllers? Or maybe even the generic versions of the PS3 controllers? I like being able to just turn the controller on and have it connect automatically without having to open any other apps and sync or go through settings to get it to work.
I'm a complete noob when it comes to bluetooth controllers on tablets so maybe any bluetooth controller can sync up with the tablet without issues and I just don't know that. Right now I'm leaning towards buying authentic PS3 controllers to guarantee that they will just connect when I turn them on, but if I can save a bunch of money and get the generic version of the Dualshock 3 controllers then I'll absolutely do that instead. I just don't want to buy those just to find out that they don't work.
Any help, even if you can just share your experience with controllers that you've used would be super helpful.
Thanks!
...Now that I think about it. We might as well start a list of controllers that work well and don't work well with the Xperia Tablet Z.
Controllers that work great:
Authentic Sony Dualshock 3 controller:
-Built in drivers.
-Fast setup.
-No need for OTG after initial setup.
-Can connect multiple controllers (at least 2 haven't tried more than that).
Generic SixAxis controllers (don't have rumble feature)
-Exactly the same as authentic Dualshock 3 controller except that there is no rumble feature.
-Costs significantly less.
Nyko Playpad Pro
-Just ordered this (got it for $14 on nomorerack.com).
-Will update this section once I have a chance to try it out.
I have a PS3 controller but mine is a different one.
Normally you have a DUALSHOCK, but I was informed that exist a model called only SIXAXIS, and this one is what I have.
I bought a refurbished one and works perfectly.
The main diferences between the two is that the DUALSHOK has a vibrator in each side and the SIXAXIS doesn´t.
In fact if you don´t mind about something vibrating on you hand, you should go for a SIXAXIS, is lighter, so will be more confortable to play for long periods
I don´t have it here with me right now but you can see the diference looking above of the charge/player LED, is written SIXAXIS, instead of DUALSHOCK.
Anyway, hope it help you decide :good:
Cheers
EDIT:
I forgot to say that is cheaper too, I payed around of $28 with tax.
Usually the DUALSHOCK is (at least in Canada) $54 - $60 without taxes

Thanks! I'll add that to the list. It sounds much better than paying full price for the dualshock. I'm assuming it connects the same way as the Dualshock? Just plug it in, turn the controller on, wait for it to connect, then unplug the controller?
How did you connect two dualshocks at once?

It took a bit to figure it out, but it's actually pretty simple.
-Start with both controllers off.
-Go to Settings>Xperia Connectivity>DUALSHOCK 3 wireless controller>How to connect controller.
-Connect the first controller via USB. The controller should power on, bluetooth should turn enable itself on the tablet then the tablet will tell you that the controller is connected.
-Unplug the first controller and make sure it is still working (go to home screen and try selecting apps with the joystick).
-Go back to the "How to connect controller" section and plug in the second controller (make sure the 1st controller didn't turn off). The tablet should tell you that the controller is connected. You should be able to unplug that one and use both now.
You may not need to go into the "How to connect controller" menu to do this initial setup, but that's how I got it working. After this initial setup you should just be able to turn the controllers on and have them sync up to your tablet automatically (providing the tablet had bluetooth turned on). Let me know if you have any issues getting it to work.

You do the same way you do with the Dualshock.
Like I said it is original, except for the vibrators.
So yes! Way better than pay double of the price for something that shake in your hand.

I have a Xperia Z3, and looking into playing with the controller.
Did you have time to try the Nyko Playpad Pro?
Also what games can you play with two controllers?

You can use any bluetooth controller with just this simple app
Just install SixAxis Controller app from google playstore and you can connect bluetooth controller from it. But note that, to use this app your tablet must be rooted.
With the help of this app you can also map keys of your controller to your tablet.
I play modern combat 4 using custom mapped controllers using sixaxis controller app. You can also use your controller as a native controller and enjoy games in default keymapping.
This app will require you to connect your controller with OTG cable for initial setup and later on you can connect your controller via bluetooth.
You can find the app here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller&hl=en
I'm a Tablet Z gamer myself. I use PS3 controller on my Xperia Tablet Z LTE. It works great. But for instance, some game like Modern Combat 4 have horrible default keymapping and SixAxis controller app is the best alternative for it..
But be assured that, Six axis controller app is a paid app so buy at your own risk. It's working for me very well, so it must work with most of the android devices.
You can read my experience on gaming with my tablet on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-tablet-z/general/tablet-z-gaming-root-users-t3209823
I hope you find this information helpful to you.

I do know that you can buy a Bluetooth keyboard to use with the tablet that you might be able to map buttons to and use.
Also I do believe there is an App floating around that will allow you to Bluetooth the PS3 controller (or the Wii Remote) to your device to use with games.

I think honeycomb supports most usb controllers including ps3 and 360, I cant try it until I get an adapter though. Like is said above there are apps that let u use dualshock 3 via bluetooth, but I think they require root access.
Yes, you can use USB keyboard and mice. The Dual Shock 3 controller doesn't work (ironic, yes?). There is an app to use the DS3 and it requires root.
- Lisa (the one who did the video referenced above).
The ps3 controller is closed in as when you connect it with a pc... btw you can remove the on screen controls in the options...
Also... Lisa, I truly enjoy your very indepth reviews and previews of products...it is always your reviews that manage to go deeper than any review site I visit (eg. The usb port on the S) Glad to see u really are in depth if your on this site! I bought my hp TM2 because of you! Same with this really great tablet! Thanks!

Unfortunately the PS3 controller doesn't work. Sony's proprietary bluetooth is at it again. As you all know, Sony never likes to play well with other companies...and in this case, not even with their own devices. I ordered the logitech controller and an OTG USB cable which I'll try out today. I figure it'll work nicely and bluetooth would be even better. We'll see...
I have tried with a proper sony pad and can confirm it wont work via bluetooth or usb. it`ll connect to a rooted device but as the tablet isnt rooted yet it wont work.
I`ve talked to staff in a couple of Sony centres and they have said they have been told by sony reps that it will work with the controller soon.

It works with the USB Adapter. Played my PS Certified Games just fine! It works on other games as well, but its hit or miss.

Yes, I use it with my emulators and it works fine. The controller itself leaves a little to be desired but with the OTG cable I bought and the logitech controller's usb dongle, i can now game a bit better on my tablet. I also bought the dock so that I could have the screen vertical.
You can use a mouse and a keyboard with usb.
I have plugged in the official wired Xbox360 pad and it works! The only problem is that the buttons are all mapped differently for the playstation certified games and there is no way of re-mapping them. For stuff like emulators where you can re-map the buttons it works amazingly well.
Has anyone tried using the PS3 DS controller ever since the PS Store came out? Just curious if it included some kind of software patch to allow the PS3 controller to work since Sony has stated that soon we will be able to use the PS3 controller. I just don't want to waste the money on the logitech controller just for the tablet when I have like 4 PS controllers lying around.

I think we need the Tablet rooted to get one working via usb
Damn! I'm probably going to try this when I get home from work and I have time to try pairing this to my tablet and then getting a refund if it doesn't work, unless someone wants to try it first. It says it doesn't require root, but the reviews are a bit iffy:

I'm leaving work early today (3:30 Eastern Standard) - I'll try to fit it in before my evening class.
Ok so after purchasing, no dice. The pairing was successful, but the server app still needs root to even start. I had no problems purchasing it because a have a bunch of android phones I should be able to use itwith. But as of now, the app doesnt work for the Tablet S. Would love to see rootcoming down the pike for this thing though...
Thanks for the update. I figured with the so/so reviews there was probably going to be an issue with the tablet s.
I read a glut of reviews when they were posted last night so forgive me for not remembering which one mentioned this, but..
I thought I read somewhere that the tablet will have native support for Xbox 360 controllers (with wireless adapter--though I believe HC already supports this) and wireless PS3 support, as in they added drivers to support them.
Has anyone else heard this? That would be amazing if PS3 controllers started working without having to open an app every time you wanted to use it and then disable it when you were done.

The current transformer supports this as well. The problem is app support. There's an app on the market that does really well with the xbox 360 controller, and will even map the analog nubs to buttons. It has worked the best in the emulators that I used it with.

As far as I've understood, you've always had to use apps like these to get it to work. I think what I read was that the Prime will have native support, so I am assuming all you would do is turn on bluetooth and then the tablet & the controller would automatically pair together.
Don't get me wrong, I plan to use the hell out of a controller on this thing--I'm not complaining. It would just be awesome if every time I didn't have to launch a separate app before I launch the actual game/emulator.
Video I saw last night said that TF Prime supports game controllers right out of the box.
Video @ 6:15 talks about Game Controller
I don't know why reviewer used USB BT to TF keyboard base. I'd think you could go direct to tablet BT.
Look forward to hearing full answer to this question though.

Yes, like I said, the problem is app support. The game shown in the video apparently supports game pads with analog sticks. A lot of games, however, do not. So, if you want to use analog sticks in a game that does not recognize them, you will probably need to do something like what I had posted before so that you can re-map those to keyboard buttons.
Bluetooth Controler
This is my first post on the xda-developers forum.
Your are missing out on a GREAT Bluetooth controller for the Prime.
This is my first Android tablet so I hope my idea of a perfect portable gaming machine works!
Here is the dual analog controller I found. Check out phonejoy-net as a new member I am not able to post links.

Re: Game Controllers.
Am I reading this thread correctly, that you can use some kindof software to use a blue tooth game controller on " any game " after I go through some kindof controller button programming.
OR
are Game Controllers only for " games designed to work with game controllers".

Unfortunately, it's for the latter. On the plus side, I expect the vast majority of Tegra Zone games to support controllers, if only because nvidia seems to be advertising that feature hard. Can't wait to try that shadowgun game!

Any game that allows for keyboard input, you can map to gamepad controls with the use of another app. For apps that directly support gamepads, you just need to tell it to use the gamepad input.
I've read all the thread.... but I can't find my anwser
(beleive it or not) I have no controller pad at home. My Prime being pre-ordered, what pad would you recommand me to buy ?
Xbox ?
Ps3 ?
Wireless ? (If i could keep my dock's usb port free while emulating or gaming, it would be great...)
What is the must-have ?
(thx !!)
So did anyone tried with xbox360 gamepad ? is it working ? what do I need to get to be able to use xbox360 gamepad ?
One of the pre-release reviews I've watched on Youtube, was demoing the gamepad.
Asus sent out the Logitech F710 with his Prime.
The reviewer plugged the Logitech dongle into the TF keyboard USB port, and was plug and go.
How about the wii controller? I haven't used any controllers for my a500, but I want to for my Prime. I have all 3 controllers, I just figured the wii was more "portable".
NVM. watched after I wrote. supports all 3. niiiiiice

You'd need a USB adapter for tablet, or the keyboard base to plug in any USB dongle though, a few I've seen are WIFI dongles.
PS III looks to have a Bluetooth Version that should probably work. I would look for an actual confirmation before buying one on that basis.
Does anyone know if the prime will let you connect more than one Bluetooth device at a time? I would like to use a PS3/Phonejoy controller along with my Bluetooth headphones.
With the Tablet S now being successfully rooted (hurrah, and much kudos to djrbliss!) does this now open up the possibility of using the Tablet S as a bluetooth controller for the PS3?
One of the main uses of my Tablet S is as a universal IR remote control, but it's still not capable of controlling the PS3 (as a Blu-Ray or media centre) which is a shame. With root achieved, will that open up the possibility of having the Tablet S paired to the PS3 as a controller? That would be sweet ...
Ta,
Jon
Phew! lol
From that title I thought you wanted to be able to play PS3 games with a massive on screen controller on your tab. That would be a little too crazy for my liking haha.
Anyways, my tablet already works as a remote for my PS3...but there is a catch.
I have a fairly new Wifi Sony 3DTV that has HDMI control. It just lets you control attached HDMI devices with the TV remote as long as the attached HDMI device is compatible with that feature.
I don't think the HDMI control feature is new at all tho. It's worth checking the settings for your TV and PS3 and seeing if you can just set both devices to "ON" for this. It's a really sweet feature! I can even turn my PS3 on and of with the tablet S this way too.
Thanks for the hint - I'll have to check into that when I'm at home tonight. The TV is 'fairly' new - Philips bought about 3-4 years ago, so it may work for me. Fingers crossed.
A super-size PS3 controller to play games via the Tablet S would be a bit weird Some kind of remote view/mirror would be pretty awesome though.
Many games are not suited to a keyboard/mouse setup. A solution to this problem is to use your PS3 controller as a joystick for PC games.
Blueput Droid may help. I never got it working on my rooted Nexus One, but maybe it'll work on the Tablet S. I'm sure it's been updated since i last tried it too. I haven't rooted my tablet yet so I can't try it.
https://market.android.com/details?id=berserker.android.apps.blueputdroid
I can confirm that BluePutDroid does work on my Tablet S. It took a couple of pairing attempts to complete, but it does seem to control the PS3. The 'X' and 'O' of the virtual sixaxis are mixed up though, and it does seem like a bit of a faff to get to the control section.
Overall though, a good start. A whinge to Sony would be that it is now demonstrated this can work, so why don't they add the functionality to their remote app? It seems like a no-brainer to me...

most usb controllers should work as long as USB HID drivers work correctly. the issue would be button assigning. now that you've mentioned this ill give it a try with my old gamepad.

I am currently planning to purchase a lapdock for my atrix this Aug 7 when I will hopefully get enough birthday money for this (just can't spend outside of budget right now). I am trying to find out whether it is possible to use an usb based controller for emulators. The reason why I want the USB based one is to save on cost and be able to use the same controller on my bluetooth-less laptop for the PS2 emulations.
to clarify, I do NOT have any usb controller right now so I am looking for two things,
Do usb controller works with lapdock?
if so, which controller comes recommended?
Bonus point if the controller is tiny and have all of the controls that a playstation controller have.
P.S.
If this is just impossible, I'll just go with the bluetooth Nyko Playpad,

Wow, this is kind of eerie, and lucky for you at the same time. I just recently decided to buy a PS3 controller for me to use for FPSE on my Atrix using Sixaxis Controller app. It works perfectly, and it's connected using bluetooth. I use the PS3 controller even when my Atrix is mounted on my Lapdock, still using Sixaxis Controller. So, to answer your question, Get a PS3 controller, 'cause it'll work on your Atrix while using Lapdock. As a bonus, you can charge the PS3 controller via USB on the lapdock (which is what I do.) The best part is, it also works perfectly on a Windows PC using the DS3 tool. I use the same PS3 controller to play PS2 games on my PC. I can even help you out in setting it up if you go through with it. Hope this helps. And sorry if what I said is a little confusing. I just got excited 'cause I was wondering the same thing as you, just a few weeks back.

The PS3 controller connects to your phone via bluetooth. It's more convenient in my opinion, compared to hooking it up to your lapdock's USB port. I know it's not exactly what you're looking for, but i think it's a better solution. Your thoughts?

For the PS3 controller, it has to be a Genuine Sony Dualshock 3 or Sixaxis. Otherwise, you'll have a problem connecting it to Sixaxis controller, the app used to pair the controller to your phone. I haven't tried using a Wii controller, or any other controller for that matter. I decided to try the PS3 controller, and it works excellently for me.
I know the wiimote works just fine, i even have the gamepad connected with it, and use it for my snes games and whatnot. look up Wii Controller IME by Ryan Frawley in the store. =]

@abetsi
that was my concern all along, not being compatible with sixaxis. ill just wait until i really want one. not very much of a cellphone gamer. i have dslite and 3ds.
@Deafcyclist
it is possible ics has even more drivers, so i might test it later. as i recall to pair ps3 controller with sixaxis a PC is required, its through usb. i suppose it can be used like you want it.
edit: testing new jellybean alpha and my logitech gamepad works, both joystick and dpad. i have not tested any game yet but its good news native usb gamepad support.

I am okay with connecting to the atrix/lapdock with bluetooth, my main concern is whether I can connect a PS3 controller directly to my TOSHIBA LAPTOP (not the lapdock) via usb. I know that a PS3 controller have a mini-USB port for charging, but I'm not sure if this can be used to get the PS3 to connect via USB. If this is the case, then this controller may be perfect for me in pretty much every way except for it's size (I wanted some really tiny controller, heh)

Depends on the game really. I've used my PS3 kontroller a couple of times, and you'll have to map the controlls yourself if the game doesn't support it natively. It's not that hard to do (using SixAxis Controller), but it's kind of annoying when you have a fully functioning controller, but the game won't recognize it. The game description in the Play Store will usually tell if the game is compatible with a controller, so check that before you buy anything.
Well. I used to play with emulators most of them supports a gamepad. but there are tons of games with gamepad support. Check out this link: http://androidgamepadgames.com
