I had this lying around from my old HTPC. This keyboard/mouse/remote combo works really nice and is compact.
Pros
Compact & light
Optical touchpad mouse
Optical scrollbar right under the mouse
Functional play pause buttons
Backlit (see notes below)
Cons
Not bluetooth (uses mini USB receiver)
The remote has both a backlit version and non-backlit version. I picked up the backlit version awhile back for about $40. The non-backlit one is going for around $20-$25.
Plugged it up to my usb-otg hub and it works great! I use the Esc key as back button.

I love this remote! I have been using it for a while with other devices. The one drawback, is that it does not have a "back" button when you are doing android stuff. The "R" button can be used as a back button, but only in Kodi. I just use this remote and when I need to press back, i pick up the nexus remote. Are you able to go back at all?
I've been using the ESC button to go back. However, it won't take you to the home screen. Thinking about it, I wonder if the home button will take you home?

Correction. Esc button DOES eventually take you to the home screen! If you want to go directly to the home screen, the key combination of Alt + Esc works!

This is really easy to accomplish...Let me try to do this real quick. I've done it on modern combat 3 as well and should work on other games.
What you need to do is run the game and take a screen shot of the game so you can use it as a background for sixaxis Touch Profiles.
Then open Sixaxis. Go to Preference

Then Edit Touch Profiles
Double tap the screen to bring up the menu
Select Change Background
Go to Gallery
Select the screen shot image you just took of the game earlier. Should look like this now.
Now double tap the screen and add your buttons
Lay your new buttons on top of the game screen buttons accordingly to what buttons you want to assign each on screen button
There's gonna be the accelerator and brake but I think it will use the run and jump on screen button so you can use the same button on the controller so there no need to create buttons for those.
Then lastly save it
(double tap screen then save)
So my 20 year old son kicked me off my imac ...so I got inspired, whipped out the "Logitech Tablet Keyboard for Android 3.0+" and resumed my work on an Office Document.
I was impressed with the keyboard; it connected first try, has dedicated Home, back arrow, Menu buttons and function buttons that control the music and launch the calender.
Also the keyboards case serves as a dock/holder for my Note.
I'd say the 5.3" Note and BT Keyboard are a great match.
I'm using the Apex launcher which works in landscape mode but I can see where a BT Mouse would help navigate. I need to find a small one.

I have the same one- someone on here actually posted up the deal from Daily Steals- and i love it! i use it everyday at work and at home. I am also in search of a Bluetooth mouse that i like, but in the meantime, i can just plug in a USB mouse at work
edit: mine actually isnt the same- i bought the 'Logitech Portable Keyboard for iPad' because it was 29 bucks, vs the 89 retail. the home button still works, volume and music controls work, search works, its just missing a back button.

Found this apple mouse in my junk drawer and it works.
Why do you allow your 20 year old to kick you off of anything? Tell him to get his own iMac or whatever. Unless he is supporting you, which I doubt.
Thanks for the post, though. Nice pics and input.
Hello everyone! (sorry for my English) Before i got my Xperia S i had a Xperia play, and I just loved the gamepad.
Anyway i like to play games on my Xperia S but i miss the gamepad on play.
So i looked for a android gameing pad i this is what I found.
The Gametel gamepad.
Gametel is a Bluetooth controller for Android and iOS devices. It’s also working with Windows and OS X.

(this aint my picture)
As you can see from the picture the design idea is to physically attach your smart phone to create a Xperia PLAY like form factor. It does include all of the buttons you would expect like the D-Pad, trigger buttons and action keys but there isn't the dual analogs.
This is the manufactures site
www.gametel.se it's more info there.
I have this kind of bundle and I must say that it works quite well.
The Gametel software has a predefined option to emulate Xperia PLAY. I've found one bug with it compared to my Xperia PLAY. In some games/emulators the mapping on the O button (in the original Xperia PLAY mapped to BACK) works sometimes too well. For example when I touch the O button, it goes out of the application instead than acting as the O key on the pad.
Not all games/emulators are affected by this.
Overall it's quite nice, pairs itself automatically and very quick.
One other not nice thing is, that when using it with Xperia S, You will have the volume buttons pressed constantly, but there is an option in the Gametel software to disable the volume buttons when the pad is connected.
But this can also be sometime messy, for example when You run a game and want to + or - the volume.....If You have any questions regarding this, then I'll be happy to answer.
WoOoW:laugh:
make me drolling
How's it? It works fine?
how much the price ?

Any slide app support up down to next, back slide, or if using other key, you can use keyboard function.
yes i know about lg key plus app but i want to do it without any extra software on my v30. please share your way of achieving this in an unrooted phone. 10x
How: remap the shortcut key (volume up) to open led light (flashlight) WITHOUT an app
Shortcut key? What shortcut key are you talking about, where?
If you mean hardware button... Can't be done without either extra software (an app) or with root, which also actually requires an app or features in a ROM.
If you mean some kind of shortcut key on your locked screen for flashlight, there's already one available. See the flashlight/torch over on the right by the bluetooth?

Next time please open a regular thread, not this silly Q&A format that requires a browser to answer.
There is an app for LG devices.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apptuners.keyplusapp
It works on my V30 for volume up button.
Volume down button sticks to open camera.
I changed volum up as flashlight.
He says he specifically does not want that app or any extra app.
He said in his post, "yes i know about lg key plus app. but i want to do it without any extra software on my v30. "
always display on is off with my phone. key plus works but not sure if this is setting changer or a background app :\
Oh, I missed that part.
Sorry for the wrong info.
Yep, it works been using it for a few years..
