Anybody have any luck with connecting their xbox remotes? Via bluetooth or USB?
Ive connected it but it doesnt work so far, kind a of a let down.
Any suggestions are welcome.
I'm an xbox dude so thats why i opened this thread.
The xbox remotes use infrared so no dice there. There has been muliple posts and videos on youtube showing how to connect a wireless controller but that requires a donagle

Do you mean the infrared media remote? Or the xbox 360 game controllers?
sucks for 360 owners I have both and ps3 remotes work fine
Remote is a no go, wired controls OK and wireless with dongle is ok

xbox 360 wireless
Back when halo came out for the pc I went out and bought a usb dongle to use a wireless xbox 360 controller on my pc. Now I can plug that dongle into my a500 and use a xbox controller wirelessly.
Thank you

Has anyone found out how to connect a 360 controller to the transformer yet? I have tried wired ut it never connects, and I have tried wireless through the pc adapter but that doesn't connect either.
I was hoping it would work too since both wii and ps3 controllers work.
Check out this long thread about the 360 controllers on the TF101
Can I pair my N7 and PS3 controller via my laptop? As in, can i connect my tablet and ps3 controller to my laptop and somehow pair them through my laptop? I dont have the cable that just hooks both of them up directly.
You're Welcome...
I use this all the time with emulators. Works great.

Sixaxis has a pairing tool I found researching the app. It let me pair my bluetooth ps3 threw my laptop. Sixaxispairingtool look it up (;

yep, what he said, use the sixaxis app from the play store.
here's a quick one on how it works:
you need to set the n7's bluetooth mac address as the master address in the controller, then you can just press start in the app, switch on the controller and it will pair.
on any device with usb host capabilities the updating of the mac address can be done from the device itself by first connecting the controller with a mini-usb to usb cable and a usb otg cable.
oh and by the way, this is the nexus 10 section, not the nexus 7, reported.
I am not sure it could be connected via using laptop but yes connection between N7 and PS3 controller is possible. You will have to require cable to do so. Watch the video link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhcHTHo2hEQ which show you how to connect N7 and PS3 controller each other.
Anyone tried a 360 or PS3 controller on this tablet ?. I have a wireless 360 controller with the usb adapter lead but the 10 doesn't pick it up. They are pretty cheap on ebay but not sure which to get :-
PS3 controller £9.99 (around $15) - Works via bluetooth and uses its own battery.
360 wired controller £12.99 (around $20) - Plugs via OTG but will draw power from the tablet.
Both I think are knock off versions so might not even work lol
There are apps on the market that provide the software and drivers needed for either a PS3 controller or xbox 360 wired controller via OTG. Then you can use either one to play emulated games
As for your cheap ebay controllers, i'm not sure.

On other devices you could use the PC Wirless adapter for the 360 via USB, and use wireless 360 controllers. The nexus 10 doesn't seem to even turn it on via otg though :/
Im in the same predicament kinda sad the ` ultimate tablet' it's the one that least has hardware support
I can't comment on the ps3 but the Xbox 360 wired controller works just fine for me.

I have both a wireless 360 controller and a cheap 360 replica. Both work like they should when I connect them via OTG to the Nexus 10.
Also, connecting a mouse and a keyboard works with OTG.
I read that OTG cables are different from each other, it may or may not work depending on the cable.
I have used both and I prefer the ps3 controller. I use the otg cable with both. If you root the N10 you can you use the ps3 controller via bluetooth with an app called six axis. You don't need an app if just using the otg cable.

Ps4 controller, jk. Obviously ps3, root your device and use sixaxis controller as more ppl says... all games work with it .
I have found many articles how to connect wired Xbox 360 controller, USB Keyboard, USB Mouse and other articles, how to connect via MHL link to TV HDMI Port, but I have a question, is their any chance to connect Nexus 7 to Monitor & USB Xbox 360 Controller together? Or can connect Wireless Xbox Controller?

You can connect the ps3 controller over bluetooth or other bluetooth controllers. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1779347
MHL to HDMI is not supported.
I recently got an XBOX 360 controller to try to get it working with my Nexus 10 however it is not recognizing the controller. The controller itself is a XBOX 360 controller with a USB charging adapter. Since I don't have the USB wireless receiver I'm trying to get the controller to be recognized through the USB cable. Thus I have connected the USB to an OTG cable. When I hit the synch button it continually flashes but does not synch. Is there something I need to do to my N10 to get it to properly recognize the controller? Drivers or rooting etc???
My Nexus 10 is currently stock Android 4.2, so I'm not sure if that makes a difference, it has NOT been rooted yet.
Thanks

Has to be a wired 360 controller. As far as i know the wireless model still connects wirelessly even when plugged in with a 360.
The wired controller is working great for me in GTA vice city though.

the wireless 360 controller does work on a N10, but you need the XBOX 360 Wireless Receiver and your OTG cable. unfortunately this setup is not supported by any of the games i've tried. vice city for instance does not even have a deadzone setting for the wireless controller and the button mappings are all over the place, whereas everything is preconfigured for the wired version.

Yeah, the wireless receiver is essential. The n10 doesn't have a key map for wireless Xbox controllers, which is why they don't work with most games. But if you've rooted it's easy to get it all working. See this thread from the n7 forum, same process applies to the n10. Been playing GTA Vice City with a wireless controller, works like a charm.

Do you have to do any setup to get it to recognize the wired 360 controller? Do you just plug it in to the micro-usb port?
