according to these screenshots, http://www.android-x86.org/screenshot , from the android x86 project, android has been made to work with a mouse. it has also been made to work with a bluetooth keyboard. is it possible that maybe we will someday have bluetooth mouse support? im thinking Quake 3, people. thatll be awesome.
WHAT?! i ran the hidd script with my mouses mac address and it worked. holllyyy ****. does anyone know if theres a way to edit settings, like sensitivity, and possibly rotate the input? because when the screen is in landscape, for games such as quake 3 for instance, the input still works as if it was in portrait. or at least show the cursor?
I think it's time to start a [THINKTANK] thread

Heya! I just had a reather interesting idea. Would it be possible to use a HID-Compatible Gamepad like a Logitech PS2-Clonepad on the Adam? For example to use it together with an Emulator? That would make for a quite neat non-touch gaming experience.
The problem with that would probably be finding a gamepad that supports HID. Works perfectly with my Bluetooth HID keyboard though...
Thanks to the hard work of Meister_li, I can say that there /is/ a usb gamepad emulator IME for android.
Unfortunately, I do not currently have a HID gamepad to test it with, but you can see the thread I started requesting help getting the app. It has the APK attached.

So quake3 driod works and runs well on the acer a500. With 3.1 supporting mouse and keyoard vis usb quite well, this is the control scheme I want to use, but can't seem to get rid of the mobile phone overlay of touch screen controls - anyone else experimenting with this?
- kwaak3 works a bit better without the onscreen frame for the joystick controls, however click to look is the only way I can get the mouse input functioning. I posted to kwaak3's google code list. Any other quake3 guys out there? acer a500 is stronger than the original machine I played q3 on
Also anyone know how to enble lightmaps? Tegra2 shoul be able to handle it.
update - there is a kwaak3 experimental update where you can turn on lightmaps - no update on the control scheme
I just paired my bluetooth keyboard and mouse to my N7. I should have tried this sooner. It's an awesome experience.
Is there a way to play games like Dead trigger using the keyboard and mouse like a PC FPS game?
Curious - Which keyboard and mouse are you using?
Im curious too how could i use my keyboard and mouse as gamepad, in dead trigger all i can do is move with WASD buttons.
when i try to customize gamepad in settings. but i cant change anything from the defaults.. and that is frustrating.
Phon eis SGS3 mouse is microsoft bluetooth notebook mouse 5000 and keyboard is microsoft bluetooth mobile keyboard 6000.
Its really awesome using my xbox controller with onlive and any other game that supports it. I would love a true list of games that support different inputs.

This app should do the trick. Need root though. I haven't tried it myself yet but looks awesome. I wish there was a way for devices with hdmi out to actually turn off the tablet while playing on a large screen

check this video out of someone mapping it for a fps:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9eiiL3gaDnU
I'd like to hear someone's review specifically for a fps and how well the mouse handles. It doesn't look like he has the sensitivity that high and I'm not sure if it can be set so you can do a quick-flick 180's.
anyone get it working?

I used ShareKM and then, for dead trigger, this is the default weird configuration :
1) Directional keys to move around.
2) I,k,j,l to look around.
3) a,d to switch weapons.
4) 7 to use ironsight, 8 to reload and 9 to fire.
Too bad cant change the configuration of this. Also, I seem to have some trouble using the new app "TinCore Mapper".
Hello from France,
I am the owner of a Windows 8 tablet Pro (Acer Iconia W700) and I have a little question about it.
This tablet allows you to run games good, I think World of Warcraft, TERA or Guild War 2 for example.
The problem is that the touch Windows 8 is rather strange indeed when in game, I move my finger as I will move my mouse to "look around", and although the camera starts to swirl very fast!
I feel that the "touch" is managed very differently from the mouse!
Would you have a tip or something until OverWolf?
Thank you for your help!

Go into the settings for your game and change the mouse sensitivity setting if there is one. Or get a USB/bluetooth mouse.
Not change anything :/
should do.
If not. Use a USB mouse or a bluetooth mouse. Much nicer to use anyway.
Hi all,
This thread probably won't get much traction, but I'm pretty sure the developer for DosTurbo isn't very active anymore.
There are really two separate issues here:
1) The analog triggers are not mappable. The in-app mapper does not register them at all. I dug around quite a bit on this, and if I'm not mistaken, DosBox Turbo is really just an android port of Dosbox with some added features. Dosbox itself has it OWN mapper. Has anyone had success getting the triggers to work?
2) The thumbsticks. Now I don't know why the developer restricted the mapping here, but here are the options:
a) map a thumbstick to keyboard keys (like up, down, left, right)
b) map one thumbstick to mouse control, the other to "joystick"
You can only pick either a or b. No combination of both allowed. The problem with this is that I want one thumbstick to map to up, down, left, right and the other to map to the mouse control. You'd think (b) would work, but games without joystick support do not recognize the "joystick" so I'm stuck using the d-pad if I want mouse control on the thumbstick.
FYI, I'm trying to setup the controls of a modern shooter with Duke Nukem 3D. I am very close. The dpad control movements, the right thumbstick controls mouselook, triggers do nothing. I just want the left thumbstick to work like the dpad, and the triggers to work.
If anyone has any advice, please let me know. Like so much in the Android emulation world, things get so very close to perfect without ever reaching it.
Did you tried magic dosbox?

That was actually the first emulator I tried for Dos (free version). I found it confusing because at the time I knew nothing about Dosbox. Anyway, last night I bought the full version and yes, the controller mapping is 100% compatible with the Shield Controller. Thanks!
Also it seems the developer for Magic DosBox is active, unlike all the other Dosbox ports. The UI is kind of weird... perhaps that's why I was so confused. Runecrafting and all these other references to fantasy RPGs is an unnecessary layer to the learning curve. That said, the help documentation inside the app itself is quite good.
Actually im interested as well.. can you make make a small guide,link or something for this?
I only found things in russian..
