hi guys, so i have looked around and i didn't see any threads for this, so i guess i need to post one.
i have a dell venue 7 tablet, its on android 4.4.2 right now, but the problem applied beforehand also, so i don't the os is the problem, also, not rooted.
i cannot for the life of me get the wired xbox 360 controller to work, the ring of lights just blinks on and off, every time.
im pretty sure my OTG cable is just fine, i can connect a kb/mouse fine, and some other peripherals but i cannot get the 360 controller to be detected, the same goes for a wii controller via bluetooth, they are both official controllers, but neither will detect.
i would appreciate if someone knew the problem and posted the fix.
thanks in advance.

Ive upgraded sucessfully to 3.1 and thuoght that xbox 360 controllers are ment to work. not managed so far - does any one know how to get them to work ive tried wired and wireless ones.
i take it no one has then?
Its strange seeing as there are some reviews coming out with the xoom on 3.1 getting to use xbox 360 contollers.
Do you have the dock? I've seen reports of people not having luck getting it to work that upgraded to 3.1 but no mention if they are using the dock or the female to female usb adapter method that is floating around.
Also the update that is floating around is not the OTA one so it may not be complete.
yeah i do have the dock... hope the ota update has the drivers for xbox controllers. would be awesome!
After updating to 3.1 I tried plugging in my usb gamepad to the dock, and loaded up Snes9x. Tried remapping the keys to the gamepad and it would say the keys were mapped to "none" no matter what button I pushed on the controller. The TF definitely knew that there was a gamepad plugged in, but it seemed like it didn't know how to map it correctly. So I tried playing Cordy like they did when they showed off 3.1, and all the buttons on the gamepad would make me run and jump to the right. So from what I can tell, it does register that there is a usb device plugged in and working, but it just won't map the buttons correctly . I don't have a wired 360 controller to try out, but I tried plugging in my PlayStation 2 controller with a usb adapter, and the TF wouldn't even register any of the button presses.
I tried a ps3 compatible pad this morning with n64oid and it worked once I mapped the controls. Didn't have time to really test thoroughly but seems to work on the leaked 3.1. This tweet from asusuk seems to confirm it for the official 3.1
@AsusUK Eee Pad Transformer with Android 3.1 supports XBOX 360 & Playstation controllers. UK FOTA Wed am.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
Tested it on ps3 controllers, worked fine.
xbox 360 didn't work for me
How are these being hooked up through dock or some other means
Sent from my captivate BLAZING on firefly 3.0
Is this only possible for people who have the dock? Does it have to be via cable??
Thanks guys!
Only docks.
I mean the tablet doesn't even have any USB ports.
Any way to pair it via Bluetooth, or maybe get it to connect through the asus propriety cable?
Doubt it. Xbox 360 controllers don't use blue tooth to connect to the console. The asus cable would have to be modified somehow an you would lose a cable most likely.
asus PR fail?
i got the OTA 3.1 update here in the US yesterday. when i plug my usb 360 controller into my dock, the ring of lights continuously blinks. the controller does not seem to register with cordy or with any emulators i've tried. i think the origional (mis)information that this would work came from the AsusUK twitter account.
can anyone in the UK confirm that this doesn't work for them?
After the 3.1 update i plugged in my old logitech pc controller and fired up snesnoid and everything works perfectly.
Unfortunately you are equating 'supported' with 'devs have created apps that now work' with said support. The gamepads will work as long as the apps have been updated to use the newer code.
All I've tried so far has been an old PS1 controller plugged in via a cheapo usb pc adapter and it worked flawlessly in fpse. Oddly enough it was even letting me control the home screens in android as well. Although the button mapping was all off for that trial.
then it seems logical that we call a controller 'supported' by android if it can switch homescreens. if an app is coded in such a way as to support the controller then we can call it 'supported' by that app and the controller becomes useful. i believe the generic key mapping features of most emulators are good enough and should work for the 360 controller, that is if the OS can recognize it. i'd wager that if a USB controller can not switch homescreens then it will be impossible for an app to make use of it.
both google and asus advertise that the 360 controller should work on the transformer after the 3.1 upgrade. mine can not switch home screens or do anything else at all besides annoyingly blink its lights.
i think my 360 controller not working is a bug and that makes me sad.
i would very much like to be proved wrong here.
I'm using a USB female to female adapter w/ this and it will not work for the life of me. Maybe the adapter is bad but it will not connect to this for nothing.
Note: Using XBOX360 Controller
has anyone tried connecting it trough a usb hub?
I got XBox 360 controller with USB which work fine on PC but doesn't work with my Transformer under Android 3.1
It seems Google forgot the XBox 360 drivers :s
Nobody on this thread manage to got the XBox 360 working ?

Can you look at the back of your controller and tell me the model? I've got a emulator list with controllers that are working I would like to add it to. Check the DIY link in my signature.
Hello!
So I bought one of these chinese tablets. ZTpad Zenithink C91. Seems like ok tablet for the price. It has ICS 4.0.3 which I thought should natively support wired xbox 360 controller.
So, I plug the controller to usb port, controller keeps flashing all the lights, but nothing happens beyond that. I tried with USB/BT joystick too, but it does not find controller.
Usb stick, and HDD works via that port, so it should be ok.
There is also another USB port, which is micro-usb. Dont have adapter so I could try if that makes any difference. Anyway, I'm kind of confused, it should work but I can't get it to work. This was so hard to google I had to make an account and post this here, surely you could help!
Any ideas would be great!
Cheers, Jesse
Hello everyone I have ran into an issue with my ps3 controller wondering if you folks can help. I bought the asus usb kit connected my ps3 controller fine was working great. Couple of hours ago I plugged in the same controller to my ps3 to play, when I was finished tried to turn the controller with bluetooth on my tablet as always but no luck even tried plugging it back in but nothing. does anyone have any ideas why it's not working now and how to fix it?
I don't have the usb kit thingy, but I might be able to help. Since you repaired it with your ps3 you will have to repair with tablet as the first time. I'm guessing you need to connect the controller to the usb thingy and go into tablet setting and look at the inputs sections. Turn the ps3 controller and it should be listed and ready to pair.
Hey guys
Quick question, has anyone managed to pair DualShock 4 or wired 360 controller? When I put the DS4 in pairing mode I can see it on the list of available Bluetooth devices but when I tap to pair it says pairing and nothing happens. After a while DS4 turns itself off. When I'm trying to use Type C OTG to micro USB to connect it via wire nothing happens at all. Same case with 360 controller and type C OTG adapter. I've used two different type C adapters and nothing. They work fine with pendrives
I think its down to drivers, the xbox controller doesn't work but i thought the DS4 works?
I have the same problem exactly, keeps on pairing but never finishes, tried resetting the dualshock, searching the web, nothing.
Still no fix for this?
I reached out to both huawei and Sony and the first ones said they can't give me any info and the latter did not respond at all.
I am so mad I can't set up my Xbox 360 controller so I bought this one and it works on all the games, there is no compatibility issue.

Any news or fixes? Do I need my Mate 10 to be rooted? Im still stuck at pairing. :3
The controller works on LG Q6 and ZenFone 2. Still doesn't work well with Mate 10. Do I have to wait on a firmware patch or what.
Bump. Maybe someone here knows the answer.
Bumpinnnn
The only solution I could found was listed at OnePlus Forum. An user said the Ds4 worked perfectly on his OnePlus 3T only by using the Bluetooth Adapter sold by Sony. You plug an OTG adapter on your phone then plug the bluetooth adapter at the OTG Adapter.
Using ds4 on p20 lite via type c OTG without any issues. Im able to pair it via bluetooth but it doesnt accept any inputs from the buttons.
Hello all,
I was wondering if anyone can help with this?
I have a stock, non-rooted Honor 10.
I just bought an OTG converter so that I can use my wired Xbox 360 controller to play emulation and other games like X DiVE.
Strangely, it won't work...
Plugging a mouse into the OTG converter, the pointer appears and works instantly.
When I plug the 360 pad in, it powers the controller, but nothing else happens.
I have tested using a controller test app, PPSSPP, Megaman X DiVE and Minecraft. None of them see it.
It would be strange that it's use would be disabled.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Simon
Just tested the converter and controller on a Huawei Nexus 6p, and it works fine.
So it is something with this phone....
It could possibly be due to the fact that it doesn't support the xbox-360 controller? (your phone I mean)
Lack of cruicial drivers..
