Currently not rooted and completely stock. Noticed my xboxone controller doesn't work for some reason.
Works on my s9+ however, and mouse and keyboard through tab s6 usb hub works. So I'm actually at a bit of a loss.
Any input is greatly appreciated, I've tried everything ?*
Just to clarify for myself: you are using some kind of USB C to A adaptor to which you connected the Xbox controller, yes? If this exact setup works on an S9 then I would try a different adaptor before anything else. If the hardware connection really is solid then I would have to think the controller is not supported for some reason. An oversight more likely than not IMAO.
Why are you using USB OTG instead of just using bluetooth?
I don't know about OP, but I do it through OTG to use my Elite controller, since the v1 doesn't have Bluetooth. Works perfectly fine on my note 9, but not on this tablet in the xcloud app. It does work in the steam link app though, so I'm not sure what is causing the issue.
I'm using official Samsung adapter and a third party one. Both work on my s9+. My xbox pad is not Bluetooth. I also tried a switch pad on Bluetooth and input lag was woeful.

You have the exact same issue then? I can't fathom it. I'm an engineer as well so I've tried literally all possible combinations and have proved everything works everywhere. Just not the xbox pad. Strange issue.
Has anyone found anything? I'm having a similar issue with my Moto G8. It seems like some phones can connect and some can't

I also found that The controller is detected via USB/BT Joystick Center but the the keys won't register and the light doesn't come one.

anyone know if this would work on the atrix? i know there are some hacks to make a OTG cable and make it work but now they make them. i dont feel like buying a bluetooth controller just for my atrix, i already have a nice wired PS3 controller id like to use (has 360 layout that i like). thanks!

We do have USB host, and a cable works by supplying 5v on pin 1 (through modding a usb hub) but I dont know the differences between the FPSE and honeycomb he's running and our setup, I'm not familiar with the drivers that would be used to recognize a game controller like that.
Honestly ive been using a wiimote through bluetooth with a classic controller forever, but I might be able to get a friend's playstation 3 controller to test this with and get back to you.
Edit - at the second part of your title, keyboard, yes, many users here have modded/official usb hubs/docks and can tell you that a keyboard works just fine, but if you're thinking along the lines of a straight wire into an OTG adapter into your phone, then sorry, but it doesn't work (usb host mode doesn't get activated)

thanks for reply, yeah its just a afterglow ps3 controller. i would get the wiimote and the classic controller but that would be more expensive than a used ps3 controller. i was just thinking something like a controller emulator or something could be made, idk

Has anyone tried this? It would be cool if you could turn off the on-screen controls.

Edit:
I wonder if you can plug in a USB keyboard. Haven't seen anyone try that yet. I need to get an adapter an try it out.
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.

Any update on whether the logitech controller works or not?
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 Just tried and it doesn't work, all it does is flash the 4 red leds on the pad and that's it.
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'm turning blue trying to figure out how to setup my flyer with an mhl-cable to the tv while connecting my wireless dongle at the same time so that I can play games on the tv.
I bought a usb-hub, and was eventually capable of connecting the xbox dongle in order to play games on the flyer. However, I can't figure out how to get the picture to the tv instead, so that I can use it as a regular console. It's either only the tv, or only the dongle (via a usb-hub connected to a usb otg-cable) that could be plugged in. Has anyone else been able to get both working, and if so, how?
I'm running stock HC, I've got a nokia ca-157 cable, an mhl-adapter and a usb-hub.
Not sure I understand what you are trying to do, but you cannot operate USB OTG and MHL video at the same time. If you need wireless you should use a router, not the USB connection.

He's trying to use an Xbox controller(corded) for games on his flyer, and output the display of those games to the TV...which as you said isn't possible.
Ok, now I understand. Correct, not physically possible.
Sorry if I wasn't clear enough.
I did refer to wireless controllers that connects to an xbox-usb-dongle that is needed, since MS didn't choose to use regular Bluetooth.
I know it would be easier with ps3- or wii-controllers since they only need regular bluetooth. Though, they're very expensive, so I'd prefer trying to get my wireless xbox controllers work. But if it's not possible to use wireless xbox controllers and tv-out simultaneously, I guess I'll have to go shopping.
How about using this Bluetooth controller for $39.99.

Please read the links posted above your message.
DigitalMD,
They're not available in my country, unfortunately. Thanks for your help, anyway!
casperi,
No, I was probably wrong about that one as well. Most HTC devices apparently won't work with sixaxis. Really annoying since I bought the flyer with the intention of using it as a video game console. I knew several others were capable of it, and HTC are known for good quality, so it seemed reasonable it would work. Hope Google's tablet will work better.
Recently got a OTG cable for my Note and can't seem to get the wired Xbox 360 controller to work with ANY games...yes, even ones with native support (which are the only ones that will work) like Dead Trigger and GTA III.
I know the cable works as the wireless mouse and keyboard combo I have works fine...so it isn't a hardware issue I don't believe. The controller I know works as well (use it on my PC).
So what gives? I got all excited about playing games with a controller only to be let down...:crying:
Using stock ICS ROM...should I maybe try another ROM? Does stock not support it? I know the GSIII ICS does (looking at YouTube videos).
I think you have to use USB/BT joystick center app found on the market to be able to pair with Xbox controller. I just got my otg cable and have not tried yet but I know it works on international note. Need to find my wired controller.
I got USB/BT...it finds my controller and the controller works through the program (as in the buttons are functioning, etc) but still a no go with games.
I've even installed a couple JB ROM's to rule out an ICS issue. Nothing seems to work here...weird...
Works for me using padawan but it drains my battery one percent minute when playing games.

I've recently tried to breathe a little bit of new life into my shield tablet, by in stalling lineage OS (14.x) onto it and, so far, it seems to all be working very nicely. However, I have a shield controller and the ROM I installed didn't include the shield accessories app - although it did include the Nvidia Games app!
Is there any other way of connecting my controller, or is there any safe way I can get the app from somewhere else?
Just use an xbox or playstation controller over bluetooth. Used they are cheap if u don't have one and they work great with xbox game streaming etc...

Hello
I am in the same case as you (except that I am lineageos 15.1).
For the moment I have not found for a wireless connection but I believe by cons that it works via USB cable OTG.

Thanks - I'll give that a try as a solution for now, but I'd be surprised if it's not possible to do it wirelessly...
