I thought a few people might find this useful.
As the title says The OTA update I received today (16th July) seems to have added support for the wired xbox 360 controller.
I have tried the with cordy (a game from the android market) and two emulators - Nesoid and N64oid and it works fine once the keys have been mapped. It kept saying <unknown> but it does at least recognize the key presses.

nice. that will make gaming super awesome now on the TF.
Very handy actually, as all the Xbox games that have been released for the last year and a bit have been utter ****e and nothing new on the horizon either, so I could do with a reason to find another use for the controller. Off to get some batteries and try this out.
I still want wireless other than the wii controller, sigh.

Batteries?
Isn't the support for the wired controller only?

PS3 SixAxis is wireless
Does the ps3 controller work as a bluetooth gamepad? I haven't tried.

This is the main reason why I ordered an OTG cable. Still waiting for it to ship.

does the ps3 controller work with the emulators - nesoid/snesoid/n64oid/fpse/psx4droid etc. - that's the main reason I'd want a ps3 controller on there...

time to invest (or borrow to begin with) a PS3 controller then...
Was just wondering if anyone had tried the OnLive Android client on this? It's obviously not officially supported yet, but there is a fair chance that it will work.
Thanks.

Yes. No reason it won't. Even if it isnt in the market, just sideload it

Thanks, was just thinking that I hadn't seen anyone run it on JB, and there may be some compatibility issue there.
Would still like to see if someone can actually get it running. I am tempted to pick up one of the universal controllers if I am sure it works well with this.
im getting onlive for sure! i just need to find a good controller for my tegra hd games.
Thought I'd bump this existing thread since the N7's are in a lot of people's hands now. Has anyone had a chance to try the controller yet?
I'm interested in getting a controller for my N7 and until the Nyko Android PlayPads are released. Thought this might be the best way to go in the meantime.
Cheers,
Kermee
I have just sold a brand new controller on eBay as I had two sent and they didn't want it back ?!? Very accommodating are on live ... lol
Have not used my on live yet but the N7 run games (in app) amazingly well.
I think On live will work just as good

I've used OnLive on the N7 - works great. I haven't got a controller for it though.
Same for me using it right now on Nexus7 to play Lego Batman and its working great!

This is a patched onlive app that allows any controller to work by default. Like sixaxis pps3.

I had previously bought an official receiver so that I could use my wireless Xbox controller to play games on my Windows PC.
Now I just plug the receiver into a USB OTG cable connected to my N7. Just tap the button on the receiver and the connect button on the controller, and job done. You can use the Xbox controller to navigate and play games.
Thanks for that information I'm waiting on my cable and ill try my wired xbox control I've already got the patched apk installed

OnLive and the official universal controller works great.
So I know ps3 controller wirelessly needs root, but it seems like people are able to use controllers wired while stock. Interested in getting a super nes controller and otg adapter to play snesoid and nesoid games. Haven't seen a write up yet and got no idea what apps I need to get the controller to work with it. Already have the emulator up and running

When my N7 was stock I just plugged in my xbox 360 controller and it natively worked . Didnt need to do anything special . Remember not all games support controllers .. I didnt try out any other emulators or controllers but from what I hear from others.. some work.....some do not.

For me I just plugged in the PS3 controller then pushed the little round button in the middle of the controller. Once I did that I could use the analog stick to move the icon around the screen. Then I simply loaded Dead Trigger and it was already mapped. Really it was that simple for me.
Purchased Zombie Driver yesterday and noticed a gamepad can be used with it. What do I need to do to get a PS3 controller to work with the game?

Download the SixAxis app from the Play Store and link them, pretty much it to be honest mate.
Also is the game any good mate?
Its not bad actually. Haven't spent a massive amount of time on it due to trying to get a PS3 controller configured lol.

Did you manage to find the SixAxis?
If not:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller&hl=en
It is a paid app but buy it, give it a quick go and if it doesnt work/you dont like it get it refunded, if not keep it and enjoy your PS3 controller

I bought it, sync'd, and can't figure out how to get the controller to control the screen. It definitely pairs, and I've enabled it under input methods.. game just doesn't react to it. Color me confused.
There's an option in SixAxis to change how the controller interacts with the device. You can have the controller map to "touch areas" on your screen. So pressing a button will touch a particular area on the screen.
You should also have an option to have the controller be a gamepad, so games should see you have a "gamepad" connected. I do this when playing Modern Combat 3. I set it to a gamepad, and when I play the game, I just map the buttons normally. The R3/L3 sticks also should move as analog.
can I use a gamepad with my new toy? or better yet, which one is confirmed to work?
If you happen to be rooted, the Sixaxis / Dualshock 3 [PS3] controller works great.
I have a Nyko Playpad. Costs about $30. Works perfectly with almost all of my games (Shadowgun, GTA III, my N64/SNES emulators, Dead Trigger, Riptide GP, etc...)
It also doesn't require a rooted system! I'm running stock.
A Wii remote will work no problem. Just use a wii remote and a classic controller.

I play with my xbox360 pad. It must be the wireless pad, and to plug it you need the wireless-USB adapter and an OTG cable.
I tried it with snes emulators and works fine. Some cons are that you can only play with the analog, the triggers dont work, and it is only possible to plug one pad (isnt posible to play 2 players).
I also have a arcade stick "brawl stick" (xbox/pc usb connection) and works great also.
I didnt used any app to setup the pads.

Do you need a receiver for the controller too or is it just working per bluetooth?
