This is a thread to collect a list of game pads and controllers that are known to work, to chat about them start a new thread in the right forum. Maybe this can be wiki'ed sometime.
If you have a controller/pad that works, post the following:
Game pad make/model
Connection method; like Bluetooth or USB
Does it work fully?
What did you have to do to get it working? E.g. paired it via Bluetooth.
For more detailed questions than the above, please start a new thread in Q&A or here as appropriate instead of pissing in this pool, thank you!
For software to test with, I suggest something that already works with the keyboard, like Muffin Knight( Free) or whatever the most common emulator is. Both should make a reasonable baseline. If you need to find an emulator and crap, use SEARCH or make a thread. This thread is more useful when game agnostic as possible, threads for specific games/controllers can spell out specific issues.

I have a Logitech Dual Analogue Controller that connects via USB and works perfectly. Nothing is needed to make it work at all, works with shadowgun, gta III partly (except in car, cant move forward!) and cordy
i have an icontrolpad that works perfectly with mame and the other emulators. Also works with any game that is icade compatible.

Do you have the model number for this controller? Logitech makes several controllers and I am looking to get one. Saw some bad reviews on the accuracy (analog joystick) on some of the Logitech controllers.
i have the universal OnLive controller and works with emulators. Connects via bluetooth
Xbox 360 Controller
I have a wired xbox 360 controller (from my pc) which works perfectly on GTA 3.

this model is the g-uf13a model so far its been pretty spot on for pc and for the transformer
wireless xbox controller works flawlessly for some games but very buggy with GTA 3
I prayer there is hope.
Are there any bluetooth controllers that work? My Transformer isn't rooted and I don't own the dock so have no USB
Thanks
Start a thread for that please, thank you. Going by this list, you at least know the onlive should. If you find more that work via Bluetooth, please share here too .
Just got my PS3 controller to work with sixaxis android program via bluetooth.

How did you get GTA3 to work? I can't go forward in a car with the logitech dual action. (I have two different ones, neither work.)

maybe i should change it to partly works, I cant move forward either in the car... I wish they'd just enable key mapping like shadowgun!

I use a PS3 controller with the Sixaxis Controller program as well. Works perfectly on a Rooted Transformer with Emulators. My favorite right now is Majora's Mask on N64oid.
I have yet to try it on GTA3 or OnLive though. If OnLive works properly in my house, I may consider investing in their Universal Controller.
has anyone tried the ps3 controller with Modern Combat 3? If not, could they? That's really the only game I want to use a controller with, so I'm waiting to hear if it works before I go out and get one.
Thanks in advance.
Questions like that belong in a separate thread in Q&A or in (one of) the threads on MC3, not in a list of controllers that work with this tablet, thank you in subsequentessence .

Just a warning to anyone that might mistakenly get a Rumblepad 2 (which looks very similar) or Rumblepad 2 Wireless I can't get em to work with the transformer. =[
Rumblepad 2 works with my galaxy nexus. Is there any way to change key mapping in GTA III?
sixaxis program
Anyone getting the sixaxis program to work on an unrooted tf101, i got it paired with my ps3 controller but to map keys i want to use sixaxis controller program just wont run , even tho ics on the tf101 naitavely supports ps3 controllers do you still need to be unrooted??
Wii's wiimote also work like a charm on ICS using WiimoteController. I've tried two wiimotes at the same time to play N64oid and MAME4droid and no problems, just have to edit the input settings to map buttons to your like.

PLEASE do not kill me, but I can confrm that Wiimotes work. Dunno if Accesoires like a classic controller work though, not yet tested it.
I only have ps3 one and it seems highly integrated with the tablet now - nice status bar icon, easy way to disconnect, connect both wired and wireless way, navigates through the home menu, etc. I tried ps3 controller with onlive app and it works but directional buttons need long press for some reason, not a big problem as left analog stick seems to replace this functionality, also i believe a,b,x,y keys are swapped in places and do not correspond their physical location on ps3 controller. This was based on a couple of minutes play with lego batman and batman city

thanks..
any variations in controllers dual shack, sixaxis..sry i never used these so no idea wat should I buy
ONE MORE THING: I am more inclined towards Gametel as it can be used with Xperia Arc as well and its size quite small??

If you haven't got PS3 and need to buy something I would not know which one is best. I paired the first original ps3 controller which is a bit lighter but doesn't have vibrations. Haven't yet tried the ones with vibrations and don't know if vibration itself is supported by any of the games so may as well save on the weight.
For onlive I suspect their universal controller would be better because of the labeling of button corresponding their setup plus extra recording etc buttons. You can recharge both controllers from the tablet I think, but onlive may accept regular batteries instead as well - at least their non unoversal does. Don't know how it pairs and navigates through home screens.
Double check if the other one you are considering pairs via Bluetooth for wireless option.

ohk, going to order ps3 then..
one more thing, do I need to buy the OTG USB Adapter from Sony? or anyone will work??
EDIT:
I just came out from Sony Store, i came to know that PS3 controller only works with PS games...I tried Real Football 11 n some other android games, none of them worked with PS3 controller.
Finally I am going for GAMETEL CONTROLLER.
sent via awesome aRc (rooted 2.3.4)
that is not true I have used my ps3 controller on none playstation games and it works great
I don't know about real Android games, but got my cable today, works with PS1 games, emulators and the system itself. Like PS3 taker said, highly integrated
edit:
And as everyone should know, games should be programmed to work with gamepads in general
can u try Real Football, bike stunts n some other good titles like Samurai Vengeance, Asphalt6, Tank Hero, etc..
sent via awesome aRc (rooted 2.3.4)
Asphalt 6 is a no go. You can control the menus, but not the car. Samurai 2 is a no go too, you can run around, but the buttons arent mapped at all. Likewise with duke nukem and unfortunatly, Onlive. More recent games like Shadow gun and sonic cd work like a dream though
thats y m more inclined towards GAMETEL controller as it has been developed keeping in mind abt Android games, u can see the list of games supported by Gametel.
sent via awesome aRc (rooted 2.3.4)
Is the problem that these games don't offer controller support, I could see no reference to controller support in the menus for Real Football. I know Grand Theft Auto 3 is a game that supports controllers and the PS3 one works great with that.

I downloaded a patched version of onlive app from the onlive helper thread in xperia play forum on the third page there approximately and it works with ps3 controller but maping is slightly off. Square is a, triangle is b, dpad seems to only move after continues pressing but left analogue seems to replace dpad moves perfecty. I played lego batman with no problem and warhammer for bit and found both totally playable. I hope some repatches it properly

I'm pretty sure the controller has nothing to do with whether it is compatible or not, it's up to the game dev to add in the bluetooth controller features. But I don't know that from personal experience so I could be wrong . Some offer manual mappings as well for increased compatibility.
At the end of the day the general populous doesn't walk around with a bluetooth gamepad in their pocket, so unfortunatly it's something most devs don't support.
Hi,
Just picked myself up a 16GB Tablet Z-£315 in the airport in Australia, thanks very much!!
Loving it so far, after returning a Nexus 10 with a dodgy screen.
One big reason for me to keep it stock and not unlock the bootloader and flash AOSP or CM10.1 is the built in dual shock support.
Well I've just purchased a Dualshock 3 controller and paired it up and I've got to say/ask, how crap is this?? I'm seriously disappointed, it seems like none of the games I have work with it:
Delver:can move with left analogue stick, can rotate left and right with UP and DOWN on the right stick, can't attack.
Minecraft: Doesn't work.
Pixel Dungeon: Doesn't work.
Bridge Constructor: Doesn't work.
Lode Runner: Doesn't work.
Etc...
Particularly disappointed with Minecraft-on Nexus 10 framerate was like crap-works perfectly on Tablet Z but the onscreen controls just kill my RSI riddled hands and forearms, this version of the game would be so f&&king sweet with a PS3 controller on this screen.
Is there any knack to getting the controller to work? Does the rooted Sixaxis app work better than the 'built in dualshock' support? Do any games at all work with PS3 controller?
Thanks.
I was a little disappointed that more games didn't work with the controller natively myself, these are the games that I've tested that do work though: GTA vice city, dead trigger, shadowgun, and snesoid for SNES emulation. If anyone else has been using the controller successfully feel free to share

I'm not sure the list is correct. For instance, I downloaded Temple Run (which is on that list) just for the sake of seeing if the controller worked with it, and it does not.

I've only used Shadowgun which was pretty good with a controller. If you look further down the list, he didn't link to Temple Run and also there was a Sony site linked that was a store of supported controller games.
I've purchased Another World and already own GTA 3, both work a treat with PS3 controller. Just a shame that Minecraft doesn't work!! Dammit
I think for now only game available on Playstation Mobile app (or Playnow) are compatible with DS3.
I don't know if the offer is still valable on Xperia Privilege app with 25euro gift, if yes use it to buy from PS Store.
Mega Blast work wirelessly.
edit : didn't see comment above before posting.

Works with my Nexus 7 for mass storage and worked with Tablet Z to pair dual shock 3 controller.
LOVE this feature.
I use it for SNES emulators. Just had to map the buttons once, and it works flawlessly.
More Play store apps need to support controllers though, definitely.

What SNES emulator do you prefer?
I use snesoid but that's just because its what I've always used. It gets the job done and have never had a reason to check out any other emulators.
Such a shame they switched the upper left row of buttons with the lower right one, GTA 3 is kind of hard to play in this way. I'm using an SGP321 on .253 though so maybe it's fixed in .307?
Hello I bought asphalt 8. Its a great game best racing game thats for sure but I tried connecting my ps3 controller to play it like that with NO GO. 0 support its like nothing is connected. Tried countless times trying to make it work managed to get r1 and l1 working for boost and break but no movement what so ever with the analog sticks no matter which one I try. Spent an hour on this sht so yea im mad lol why cant it be easy like any other game? Have to configure it idk how. Any help?

same issuse here
i am also having the same problem soo fustrated
You take the normal usb cable from the ps controller and buy a USB OTG Adapter, thats it
six axis
you can also use the six axis pair tool for pc to change the master address of ps3 blue tooth
so you would not need to buy OTG cable
I would imagine you will also have to make a touch profile for your device in six axis app
I'd love to see soultion or proper profile for that game. I can't use OTG on my nexus
You have to use a touch profile in sixaxis.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45441104&postcount=47
Profile goes to '/sdcard/data/com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller/profiles/'
It is explained in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31634416&postcount=2
Dude, I used the OTG method. The game recognised my ps3 controller. But the controls are hideous. Like no auto accelerate and L1 and R1 aren't brake and now and we'll it's all screwed up. The game crashes when I go to the controls tab in settings. Please help.
I was really hoping to find a way to make the OnLive Universal Controller work with Asphalt 8. I know the Moga Pro works great with it so I'm curious what is is that makes the Moga work with it but other controllers do not, or at least not as well if they do work.

The moga works because the game has a control profile specifically for it. Asphalt does not work with hid controllers AFAIK.
I just got a Moga controller to use primarily with emulators. I noticed that not all emulators support Moga. Is there some way to make the Moga controller the main input? I remember when I used to use the Wii remote w/ an app called wiimote I was able to do everything with controller.
If anyone has any advice it's much appreciated.

As long as you have the Moga Pro version, there is an A & B mode on it. Once you sync the controller to your phone for both A & B modes, it should work with any emulator that is compatible with it using the B mode on the controller. Some emulator's that I have had no problems using my Moga Pro are SuperGnes, Drastic DS, My Boy! and FPsE which are the main ones I use. Hope this helps out.

Thanks for the input. I actually bought the cheaper model but I must be lucky because the Pro model just dropped by 25% in price on Amazon so I will have my local Best Buy price match it.
Are you using the MOGA Universal Driver? Thats what I use to map the buttons for all of my emulators.

Actually if you use the MOGA app from the app store. Use the "B" mode and it will act like a system controller allowing you to move around in android. Some emu's like epsxe require you to go through the settings in the emulator and pick button map. I always use "a" mode for epsxe since it is easier. Thats just my 2 cents
I just picked up the moga pocket at my local Walmart for 5 buck because they were having a 75% off sale and not that I needed it but I couldn't pass up the deal.
