Great news guys! looks after after the OTA update the WIRELESS controller works!!!
Winning!
Awesome! You need the dongle plugged in, correct?
I really want PS3 wireless since I don't have the dock.

what do you want to know?
I mean you just update your transformer to the latest firmware and you plug it in. Thats it
Wired controller still not working.
Edit: It appears to be working, just not completely recognized by some apps... hrm... I'll set the keys, but it'll say "unrecognized" but then go play the game, and it works fine. So I guess all is good? All buttons are recognized, other than the triggers, it appears.

I think they're talking about the pc dongle that lets you use the wireless part of the controller. It actually came out before the 360.
The wireless dongle is probably this:
http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-Wireless-Gaming-Receiver-Windows-Pc/dp/B000HZFCT2
which I dont' see how would come out prior to the 360..but oh well.
Personally if I have to plug in something to the tablet anyways..I'd probably plug in the wired 360 controller cable. Not like you are going to sit 6 feet away from your tablet and play.

There were a few things that came out prior to the console's release and this was one of them. It wasn't like weeks prior if I remember correctly, but yes, the dongles were out before the 360's release.

I'm curious, with USB hosting how possible is it that someone will be able to create a driver to get an Xbox 360 controller working on the Xoom? I'm thinking a wired controller of course, but if one could get the PC wireless receiver working as well, that would be pretty cool too.
I found this ROM for the Elocity A7 in which the developer seems to have gotten it all working pretty well, including the wireless receiver. I would absolutely LOVE to play some emulators with the Xbox 360 controller!
So, what do you guys think, doable?
*Update (see post 17): Member thegeektern needs some help testing a kernel he's working on to get this working. He doesn't have the host USB cable or the wired controller yet. I'll be ordering the two shortly and will help if nobody else has already by the time they arrive.

If the interface is there, USB controllers, its doable. Drivers are a pain in the butt. At least for me. But I would rather focus on getting something like a mouse working first.
Don't know if this was done anywhere else before, but there is an eLocity rom that has this capability. Here's the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=923801

That would be ridiculously amazing. What would be even better is if it was wireless, but I doubt that is a possibility.

Yeah, I'm guessing once somebody gets just the regular wired controller working, getting the wireless receiver working as well wouldn't be that difficult. I'm not that bothered about that though. I'm not going to be far enough away to need wireless and if I have to plug the receiver in any way that's not much different than just plugging the controller in.

I have the datel and it works flawlessly with the xoom. Worth every penny!
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
FYI I have the wireless receiver and it draws a lot of power from the USB port - more than the allotted 500ma - and it got some notoriety for causing problems on systems that were not capable of providing the extra power. On my system, for example, it knocked out the audio when plugging it in, because the audio was actually USB internally.
So it may not be so great on a Xoom.
However, I agree that it would be truly awesome to get at least wired controllers working!
Could this problem be fixed using a powered USB hub, I wonder? Just more things to plug in, of course. I really would like to see at least the wired controller working, though!

Unfortunately when my house was robbed a few weeks back they took my old wired controller, so I need to buy a new one. Also, been waiting to get the host cable until I had a reason (this is it).
Just purchased another wired controller and the host cable. Unfortunately the estimated arrival from Hong Kong is April 8 - April 21... Hopefully someone is able to help test before that.
I have the wireless reciever, and 4 controllers and 2 head sets I can test that with if you guys want to try to get that working. I get the wifi xoom on sunday.

Just picked up my transformer with the keyboard attachment, and I'm loving it. The battery life is UNREAL!
Does anyone know if theres anything out there you can do with the keyboard attachment that it doesn't necessarily do already; rooted or not? I'm thinking some kind of hack or mod that might be out there
I was thinking it would be neat to use my pc gamepad with it to run some emulators and racing games and stuff if that's even possible
All the emulators should work but some do not have gamepad support although there is an app to map hardware to the touchscreen i can not remember what it is called right now. As for mods most seem to be moving the batteries to the side and putting in hard drives and 3g motems and i have seen one where someone added a phone dock in the wrist rest area
Holy crap, do you have a picture of the phone dock??
The most impressive one was the additional 500gb Hdd added to the dock. You have to search the forum for the thread, but this one was really awesome.

Yeah you can use PS3/XBOX360. I think the game is pretty sweet. I'm still waiting for them to fix Nova 3 for the GS3. Otherwise I've been playing this, ME Infiltration, Homerun Battle 2, etc..
Have any of you gotten Dead Space to work? On mine it just exists after choosing difficulty.

So I'm getting just about 1% battery drop per minute of ANY (decent) game play. Is that about right? Seems like a LOT to me...
Also:
I agree Dead Trigger is a good game albeit a simple FPS. Maybe it's just me, but I feel like they super dumb down FPS's for phones because they're expecting it to be difficult to use the screen as a controller.
Maybe they do this rightfully so, but if you use a PS3 controller, suddenly all the FPS games are rudimentary and have no depth or challenge. (they all also run too slow when you have the ability to zoom around the screen with a joystick)
How the heck do you hook up an xbox controller?

I have yet to do it but my buddy has. The controller connects to the phone via Bluetooth. I think you have to be rooted though I'm not sure.

OTG cable is all that you need, it allows the phone to work in USB host mode so you can connect just about any USB device to the phone
For maximum flexibility, I recommend https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.poke64738.usbjoy which is an interface program for USB game controllers which allows you to map ANY usb controller to any key you want. I use this on my Kindle Fire for all the NES/SNES/Etc emulators. It should also work with the bluetooth based controllers. One thing that kind of sucks is that a lot of games are designed from the ground up for touch screen controllers so there is no provision to even change the input device

It's really not very difficult. To connect via bluetooth (which in my opinion is far superior to ugly and annoying wires) you will most likely need root.
I prefer the PS3 controller and this is the app I use: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...5ncGl4ZWxzdHVkaW9zLnNpeGF4aXNjb250cm9sbGVyIl0.
A year ago, connecting a wiimote was like 'WOAH!' now, It's almost expected. This is nothing new, and I'm really confused at why there aren't third party controllers for phones. The first good controller (or PS3/xbox copy) could become a standard to which all games are modeled upon. Game makers could even charge like $30 for a big title game and send you a controller for your troubles.
Unfortunately, as altitude909 said above, most every game these days is made with the idea that you'll be using on-screen controls. So they either do some funny things to make it easier to use the screen which doesn't translate into a controller, or they dumb down the gameplay so that it's just too easy with a controller.
Mass Effect is probably the best game graphically and gameplay wise on the US version Galaxy S3 currently. No matter how hard I try, that game just cannot translate into a controller. Because the nature of Mass Effect being a third person life action but turn based shooter, they tried to incorporate that unique gameplay into a phone, which actually works well with on screen controls, but could be so much more enjoyable if you could use a controller. Problem is that the game requires the player to tap on enemies to aim, and also slide around to use various powers...
Can an otg cable and 360 controller work with games, like emulators, without having root?

First connect Ps3Pad to Z1 using OTG USB cable, then press PS button. Next time just turn on BT on phone and turn on PS3 controller - it should be paired automagically (until you pair with cable Ps3Pad with PS3 it will be disconnected from your console).
