[Q] Recommendations for a game controller? - Nexus 6 Accessories

Hey there!
Curious if anyone has any recommendations on a game controller for the Nexus 6. I am looking for something that attaches to the phone and doesn't require my phone to be rooted. I have looked into the ipega 9023 because all of the others look like they cannot handle a device of this size. Any help is much appreciated!

Probably not something you're willing to do, but since way back when, when I had my Droid Razr, I used a Wii Controller with the attachment, because it linked via Bluetooth. There is an app that doesn't require root on the Play Store to use it by essentially using it as a keyboard attachment. As long as the game supports mapping buttons though, I would imagine any Bluetooth controller would work the same way. I don't see why you would need a root for that to work.

I am looking for something that attaches to the nexus 6 making it one handheld device. I could use a Wii remote, but then I would have to prop my phone on something to play a game.

first of all the xbox 360 usb controller works like a charm when connected via usb otg, secondly i suggest you make something like they did in this video. it wont be pretty but it will work
http://technabob.com/blog/2013/09/02/make-your-own-nvidia-shield/
or check this out and see if it works for the nexus 6 http://www.amazon.com/Nyko-Smart-Clip-Xbox-One/dp/B00FLLFM0Q
or even better, this http://utorcase.com/

I also don't know of an attachable controller but I do recomment the SteelSeries Free combined with a case that has a kickstand. I have 2 and I play games when parked with my N6 mounted in the windshield. Car audio combined with the N6 killer screen is pretty awesome.

I bought the Moga Pro Power for $80, only to be extremely disappointed that almost none of the games that support Moga, support it in Lollipop, but do in kit kat. As if now, its useless for my phone which sucks because this thing is the perfect size for gaming, in due time it should work well.

I'm still thinking something like GameKlip casemount + PS3. I had this on my S3.

I use a PS3 controller with my N6 and did the same on my previous phone the S4. However, in order to use it properly, you need to be able to run SixAxis Controller and that needs root.
PS You live fairly close to me. The people who used to live in my house moved 15 miles away to Oxenhope - Yorkshire FTW.

You only need to use six axis for a wireless (blue tooth ) connection.. When I bought my gameklip for s3, it came with a really small usb cable and OTG. Its not the tidiest solution, but it works.
The main issue with game pads is the lack of compatibility. Having to map touch controls can be pretty painful too.
What I'm actually doing is buying a cling universal game pad.. Its not a gamepad at all though. It just sticks the handles on the phone so you can hold it like one, though it will probably need sawing in half to extend it to fit

I think that will work great with driving games if you don't mind using tilt for steering.
Still, no way around poor control for FPS games though. The main issue is if you use left thumb for movement and right for aim, you can't do both and shoot at the same time.. I wish you could buy clip on shoulder buttons that have an adjustable capacitive pen "nib' to touch parts of the screen. I've designed it in my head but nothing I can do to make that a reality. Why can't they just make all games game pad compatible?
Yeah, i love it in Oxenhope.lovely part of the world. Where did they move to? Where are you?

I tried to PM you since this is decidedly off topic but I live in Ilkley and they moved to the cluster of houses a few hundred metres before that really tight right-hand bend on Hebden Bridge Road (on the way out to Hebden Bridge). I was brought up in East Yorks but I always loved the moors in West and North Yorks.

Small game controller for Atrix?

So since I have 4 emulators, including n64 and ps1, i'm getting tired of using the screen as the controller.
Is there any small device that can act as a small, portable game controller? Like a really small bluetooth thumbpad, but instead of letter keys, it has the standard gaming buttons? Something that can fit in the pocket right with the phone would be nice.
All I have found are full sized bluetooth controllers or bluetooth keyboards. I'm thinking of something as small as a speaker remote; for example, a gaming controller as small as this:
http://www.google.com/imgres?um=1&h...&tbnw=188&start=0&ndsp=44&ved=1t:429,r:10,s:0
Anyone have any ideas?
i like the ps3 controler but keep lookin im,sure there that to but something
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
You can use a WiiMote, for the N64 games you need the classic controler attachment.
Yea i love the ps3 controller. Its easy to use, wireless, settings are basically 1 button startup. ready to go.
has anyone tried non-oem ps3 controllers? i dont have a ps3 so im thinking of buying a controller. if third party ps3 controllers do the job, i would get one.
Im sure 3rd party controllers would work since they use the same communication protocol.. Dont really see any reason why it wouldnt..
now a small controller would be dope!

A 3rd party ps3 controller typically doesn't use bluetooth, but an rf dongle... It's a no go unless it's bluetooth

Wouldn't put money on that. I got a Sony Tablet S which does PS3 controllers natively, and a knockoff I bought didn't work with it, whereas my originals do. OTOH if say you can test out a cheapo unit and it works and you can get the exact model, why not.
you will find that third party controllers will sometimes experience issues after say firmware updates on PS3 etc. they are NOT identical to original sony controllers, though of course if they work for you then who cares
i have searched around and a 3rd party ps3 controller its around $20. they say its bluetooth and no dongle included. anyhow im going to wait cause i live outside usa so i couldnt return item if doesnt actually work.
i dont know anything smaller, but ive been using my ps3 controller like the people stated above.
This seems perfect for the OP

Think you need the bluetooth controller app (cant remember the name) to get it working tho, apparently works great with the emulators. Last time I saw them a cuople of months back they were £4.50 delivered, i should have got one then!
Isnt ICS supposed to support standard usb gamepads, anyone tried this?
I haven't used one of these, so I can't recommend them at all, but I was looking at buying one myself for £40:
http://www.icontrolpad.com/order/
It's bluetooth and I reckon the "side clamps" should probably fit the atrix (perhaps with a bit of a sugru mod) but if not then the "universal holder" will work to hold the phone above the controller.
Anyone played with one of these?
Like others have mentioned. I'm using PS3 controller with the Atrix. In fact, I use 2 PS3 controllers to play 2 player emulator games on Atrix with Lapdock running LS HDMI. I've a feeling those slim bluetooth gamepads weren't very good in touch and feel.

PS3 controller ftw!! Basically using PS as primary consoles for past 12 years so I might be biased for the feel of the controller though.
Do you have to have the app for the PS3 controller to work?

Yup. PS3 controller uses some funky bluetooth input that only that app seems to comprehend.

Right now im using classic pro for wii. Works great, best gamepad i have used in years, but lacks of portability. I bought it cause i already had a wii but i might get a ps3 one and build/buy a universal holder.

GameKlip
This looks pretty sweet. Uses a PS3 controller and has a wired or not wired option. Cheap too!
thegameklip http the game klip dot com
Maybe an usb pad (if youy use lapdock, it may come handy... I'm considerin to buy this one, mainly because is a 1/3 the price of an ps3 controller and because in this part of the world is very hard to find bluetooth things...

For people who would like to use the gps for car navigation ...

How do you place the tablet?
In the front car screen?
Dont you think thats too big and block your view?
Or you just lie it down on the front passenger seat? Then how do you see the screen? And thats dangerous!
Or will you mod your car, remove the car stereo, put the tablet there?
Or ask someone to hold it for you while you are driving?
Somehow, I must missed and overlooked the proper place to put this big tablet in a car for navigation. Hmmm ....
GPS isn't even working properly and you want to use it? Get a proper GPS navigation device, the Prime won't cut it.
I wouldn't dream about using a tablet as a GPS, and I don't think I could care less about the defect GPS in the TP thanks to that, but isn't this a rather wierd question.
A fast google search gives plenty of good answeres for safe tablet GPS usage:
http://www.google.se/search?ix=hcb&...w&biw=1920&bih=979&sei=hSEIT_33MIGMswajssiCDw
I can understand people who wants to use it for GPS, you should to!

Exactly. It's either me driving and my wife navigating or the opposite. And it's really much more comfortable (and safer) than doing it myself with a 4 inches screen... Navfree and Navit work actually very well on my old Transformer...
Dude, can you not get a tablet mount for your windscreen? pretty sure youtube can provide videos for that.
That's what I intend to do...
Just buy a bluetooth gps and place it in the front of the window so it always get good signal, i know i will.
in fact a mount would look super cool if you had augmented reality running at the same time.
I hope there is no sarcasm to this thread. For just because you do not have a use for a GPS on a tablet doesn't mean it is the same for others.
im actually being genuine...one of the reasons i would buy android over apple is due to the navigation app. its got me out of a few sticky situations.
a tablet running gps or augmented reality via a tethered mobile (i figure thats how you would do it) whilst mounted to my windscreen would be awesome in my opinion.
dont be paranoid.
I'm going to get a headrest mount for my work truck b/c my middle console is the seat flipped down and it has a headrest. It will be the perfect length with my arm resting on the console (screen tilted toward me) to tap on the screen and it will be at a safe position that won't impair my driving. I don't use gps I use google maps all day every day, I go from customer to customer and that's just the way I do it. Never got into gps as I just don't need something telling me when to turn (I have a brain for that). I will do the same in my personal truck and also use it for audio payback sometimes through the car radios. I will also use it on long trips mounted to a headrest for my daughters to watch movies. I may have to make a mount, but I'll get it going the way I want some how. DIY's are on youtube also, creative use of velcro strips...
I actually used to use navigation on my xoom. I'd be messing around with my xoom while my brother drove. Then we'd get hungry and need to find out how to get to a restaurant. Its not absolutely necessary but everything on the tablet should work, just in case.

Or you may consider installing a re-radiating antenna in your car,

This unit is not directly connected to your GPS unit, and can therefore be used with a variety of different models. It draws power from your car cigarette lighter. It is great for GPS without external antenna connector.
That means your tablet will be receiving the boosted signal and you don't have to worry about its location.
When I'm alone I use a stand that has a bean bag bottom and sit it on the passenger seat facing me. Tablet-sized car mounts are too big to travel with. When I'm with someone, they're the navigator.
I was planning to use the TFP in my boat with charting software. Today I use an old Ipad and a car mount. Beats paying $3000+ for a garmin marine plotter.
GlobalSat BT-368i Bluetooth GPS Receiver, $53.46 - great reviews. I'll probably pick one of these up for the hell of it.
Check out proclips . They have awesome mounting solutions. Getting one for my galaxy nexus

I use Transformer (original) as GPS only when I have someone else in car to hold it or I'm the passenger. Well, mostly. Sometimes I just put it... on the floor (so it doesn't break when I have to use brakes) - I don't look at the screen then, only listen to the voice.
With a BT GPS unit I plan to use it. I have a special phone mount integrated into my cars dash and it uses a quick release dual t mount bracket & I already have the parts on order from eBay to make a dual t mount tablet mount & it sits off to the right of my center console next to my indash GPS with zero view obstruction & full tilt & swivel.
I plan to post photos & my build in a thread.

Recommended bluetooth keyboards??

Hi guys, I was wondering...which bluetooth keyboards work well with the Prime.
What would you recommend???
If you need a keyboard for the Prime, I would recommend the Asus Keyboard dock made specifically for use with the Prime. Not only is it a decent small keyboard, but the extra battery life, Prime specific function keys and full sized USB port make it more useful than any standalone keyboard.
If you don't want the Asus keyboard dock, in order to help you find a keyboard that meets your needs it would be helpful to know what your specific needs are.
Do you want something ultra portable?
Do you want a full-sized keyboard?
Do you need a track pad?
Etc.
I wouldn't want to buy the keyboard dock, I think it's way overpriced ( 130 euros is the cheapest I've found in the eu ) and you can't use it in portrait mode, right?
As far as portability is concerned, I'd definitely need sth quite portable but not really tiny, you know..
So, NO trackpad and a blend between portability and comfort while typing

As whacko suggested, the keyboard dock has so many benefits, that, while it's more expensive, I'd still recommend it.
The ability to add battery life, fold closed and use as a quasi-net book, keys specific to the Android OS make it a natural choice!
The other choice, if you're set on not getting a dock (they've come down in price, here in the U.S.) might be the Celluon Magic Cube. It's remarkably portable, allowing you to simply carry a small box with you, then projects the images of a keyboard on the table your TP is on.

I personally use a Logitech K750 keyboard. Solar powered, so you don't ever need to worry about batteries going dead, and it has very nice keyboard feedback (something, obviously, the Magic Cube lacks!), and is also much less then the first two options.
However, while thin and light, it IS rather long, so not the most practical to carry around and transport.
Sorry... these are the best options I know of.
Thanks for the info man! I do have the K750, it's a great keyboard, but I'd prefer sth smaller
That magic cube sounds interesting, I think I'll check it out
Hey,
This may not be the best place to post this but seemed kinda relevant.
I recently saw the Iogear multi-link bluetooth keyboard which I thought looked pretty cool. (Can't post the link yet...spam filters)
At home I have a tablet stand next to my computer monitor, and I've been playing around with extending my desktop onto my Prime and stuff like that, but I'd also like to use them separately.
I loved the idea of having a bluetooth keyboard I could use for both, not that it needs to be portable, but so I can sit on my bed and use it etc. and also, having one that could be used for both seems awesome.
The thing is, I would like it to replace my current keyboard for my PC, and I'd go mad without a numpad, and the mouse tracker just looks nasty. Does anybody know of a bluetooth keyboard/mouse setup which can be linked to multiple devices (including the transformer prime) and switched between with relative ease?
I bought a Microsoft 6000 bluetooth portable mini keyboard that's notebook size. It's a tad wider than the prime. The nice thing about it, stores like Staples and Office Depot probably carry them. So you can actually go into the store and hold them, look them over, etc. It also comes with a bluetooth number pad in a little carrying case and it's separate, so you can leave it packed away if you don't need to use it.
I bought this keyboard for my stepdad for a different tablet, and it was about a year ago I think. Now I'm sure there's a newer model number, I'll have to do a search in just a bit. Back when I bought it, there was a Microsoft 6000 Notebook Wireless Keyboard (bluetooth) and a 6000 Desktop USB keyboard, so if you google it and see different results or specs it's because it's not the portable laptop size version.
I know where the keyboard is, today sometime I will test out how it's working with the prime for you. I bet you could order the same model really cheap on ebay but since it's a good bit older, we need to check and make sure it works well.

Moga Pro Power/Hero Video Test

Hey folks, this is just sort of relevant and since I can't find that topic where we were talking about these (And I think it was in the wrong subtopic anyway) I just figured I'd post it here.
So we've been having discussions about which type of game controller to use for the Z Ultra since the thing is so big, and while we've been able to get the Z Ultra into the Moga controllers, it's still somewhat skeptical as to how they work.
Anywho, quality reviewer Erica Grifffin has actually created a video where she reviews these controllers in detail and tests them out with, you guessed it, the Z Ultra.
I haven't finished the whole video, but she does it with the Hero at least, so there you go.
I'll provide a timestamped link to about where she begins using it:

Well, she does not really use the ZU. Just shows off that its possible to fit it in the smaller version ( both android versions use the exact same arm length mechanism ).
The fact that the weight is a small problem ( that it can flip inside ), is not being mentioned ( see the other Moga topic in the General section ). Nor does the problem with the power / volume button position come up. What is a bit of a shame. Other devices will run into the same problem, so its not just a ZU problem.
I purchased the Wamo Pro (cheap version) from DX: http://dx.com/p/wamo-wireless-bluetooth-gamepad-for-android-ios-cell-phone-pc-black-222605#.Utol7RDsSUk
It supports up to 9mm wide devices (xperia z ultra is 9.2mm), but it fits really good, I am very pleased with the controller overall.
And yeah, the power / volume buttons are a bit annoying, but if you slide the ZU in from the right it isn't much of a problem, just need to find the sweet spot where there is no pressure on the buttons.

when you do slide it, do you find it's balance to be off substantially?
Any way, how's the quality of that thing? A cheap alternative to the Moga if it doesn't feel horrible.

Shadow, there is more to take in account then just cheap, with these type of controllers. Developers support is also a big item! Moga is more or less a bit known, so there are a bunch of developers, that add support to there games for it. But unknown devices are in general more hit or miss.
And the quality is indeed a big factor also. For instance how the buttons are spaced. How they feel when pressed down. If the nubs are analog or digital. The quality of the nubs. Those things alone can make a big difference.
That is one of the reason i liked that video reviews, because they confirm the moga had quality parts. Lets hope that archion gives a update when he gets the controller, as to those points.

Testing Max Payne Mobile version, controls work flawlessly, it seems to support any game that supports moga controllers. (tried GTA, Riptide GP2, Order & Chaos online, and a bunch of emulators).
The quality is good enough, probably not as good as the moga ones, but only like 1/3rd the price.
The buttons feel very good except for the d-pad, as it feels a bit clunky, but I rarely use d-pads when I have analog sticks available, so not an issue for me.
The only problem is the bad placement of the volume/power buttons, but just slide it in carefully from the right side. One way to avoid it is to buy something like this: http://www.shapeways.com/model/1443190/xbox360-controller-sony-xperia-z-ultra.html?li=gmerchant&gclid=CNj0se74y7sCFRRefgodfAkAxA

Kunai gamempad, already available in China

Kunai gamepad it's already here. I've got only the version to attach it to the phone, since i don't need the adapter to use it as an independent Bluetooth controller.
It comes with the central bumper, the 2 joycons and 1 adapter from usbC to jack, in case you don't wanna use the fan but still wanna use the headset, since the default jack will be covered by the bumper.
It has some presets already for few games, and the rest are completely customizable. I'm still configuring it so I can't give an opinion yet. I can only post 1 picture from the phone.
If someone has any other question, let me know and I'll test whatever I can.

Yes, besides the L1, L2, R1 and R2, there is also an M1 on the right hand, and M2 on the left hand, both on the rear side.
PD: looks like i can post more pictures now
Edit: forgot to say, yes, the sticks can click in, there is L3 and R3

Very nice! Does it feel comfortable to hold in hand? And how is the deadzone recognizing on the right analog stick? Usually with these gamepads the right analog stick sucks for things such as aiming and whatnot. I liked how the black shark 2 had a touch pad but it was u comfortable to hold after awhile.
Giztop, Asus Singapore, and B&H here in the United States have been taking orders for a week. You can get it by the end of October or so. I do look forward to finally having it

Yeah, the right analog stick is not really useful... On shooter games, it still better to aim using the touchscreen. You can adjust the sensitivity on each game though. Left stick works great

I'm that case do you have to have both controllers connected to use them or can you do it like the flydigi wasp?

you dont need to use both. it come with a side protection for the bumpers in case you only want to use one side of the controller. The fact is that when the controller is pluffed, the touchscreen stills working, so it doesnt matter if you plug or not the right side of the controller, in shooter games you can still aim with the right joystick or with the touchscreen on the same time. if you remove that part, then only the touchscreen will work. Even air triggers still working on the same time if you want

Kunai gamepad it's already here. I've got only the version to attach it to the phone, since i don't need the adapter to use it as an independent Bluetooth controller.
It comes with the central bumper, the 2 joycons and 1 adapter from usbC to jack, in case you don't wanna use the fan but still wanna use the headset, since the default jack will be covered by the bumper.
It has some presets already for few games, and the rest are completely customizable. I'm still configuring it so I can't give an opinion yet. I can only post 1 picture from the phone.
If someone has any other question, let me know and I'll test whatever I can. View attachment 4851177

havent had that one hour gaming session yet! haha.
according to my short experience:
Call of duty mobile and PUBG: right analog stick is way more slow and imprecise than using the touchscreen, rest of the buttons are great
Dolphin emulator Game Cube / wii: I manily lost all my time tryint to set up this. Problem is, you can set up only 1 mapping setup per app, that means that when you change the controller type (freom wii mote to game cube controller for example) then all your set up it's a mess. The best solution is first set up the key mapping for the kunai, and after that, make fit both Game cube and wii controlers to that previous set up, but i lost a lot of time until i figured that out :silly: tonight I will continue testing
Havent tried anythin else. Saw that brawl stars also is compatible but didnt try it yet.
