The A500 is compatible and seems to work fine. I've downloaded it and gave it a try in FPse. I'll try it out with some emulated Mario to see if I notice the same lag I do when using a Wii remote in SNES9x EX, but I have to go to work.
Edit: Now I went through this quickly, but am I correct in thinking that this requires a PC in order to reslave the Sixaxis to a new device?
Only needed if you want to use Bluetooth, as the sixaxis works fine wired using 3.1.

The issue I have when I use it wired is that the Start button always brings up the home screen. That means I can't map anything in games to Start.
This works fine on my phone, a friend recommended it.
However, I cannot get it to work on my iconia a500. I made sure that the controller is using the same bluetooth mapping, and when I turn it on, it definitely syncs with the iconia (the controller goes to port 1, and when i turn bluetooth off on the iconia, the controller turns off), however, the program never shows "Client Connected: 1" like it does on my phone. Ive changed the input type to Sixaxis, bluetooth IS enabled, the phone IS rooted and the controller technically does sync with the tab, but it doesnt load in the program.
Any ideas? Anyone else run into this.

Do you have a 2nd controller to test it with?
ICONIA have native wired compatibility.. why actuallyy u need this ?
Make sure you're not running the Compatibility Checker app in the background (i.e. be sure to stop the compatibility checker before starting the main app.

Hook your Iconia up to the TV via HDMI, put it down on the TV stand so it's not in danger of being tripped over and game from your couch. Totally worth the cost of a soft drink to me.

Absolutely agree. Using this app on my TF, plugged into AC/HDMI and can play from 15 feet away on my couch. Absolutely worth 2 clams.

I just brought my pad over to my friends house hooked it up to their TV and played some SNES Secret of Mana and NBA Jam. Totally worth it!

love it!
I totally picked this up in an instant... going wireless is so much better, and the keys are remappable, so in that way it's better than what you get using it over USB. Plus this way I can put all of those huge PS1 roms on my new 32GB USB stick and not have to worry about having no port left for the controller. Also enjoyed playing Cordy console-style with the tab hooked up to the TV and using the DS3... the beginning of the future is here, my friends.

In this case we used some Wii remote as well as I've only set up one Sixaxis with the pad. I'll test out 2 Sixaxis eventually.
So I tested connecting to controllers. The app will recognize them and the corresponding lights with light up on them. Unfortunately I couldn't use more than one on SNES9X EX because it can't set two player inputs to be "keyboard."
I also tested it on FPse for PS1 emulation. I was able to map the buttons on both controllers but then I tried to use the second one in Tekken 3 it spazzed out like crazy. I don't know if that was an issue with the Sixaxis app or the emulator.
Edit: I just experienced a random restart of my tablet while using this app in SNES9x EX. I'm not sure if this was an issue with the Sixaxis app, HDMI out, or something else but I lost over an hour of Bahamut Lagoon and have to repeat an entire battle.
hell i went and bought a ps3 controller cause i dont own a ps3. but i love using the ps3 controller over the wiimote any day. lol is it wrong to charge my ps3 controller with my xbox? bahahaha
this app is great and its very easy to set up, just like the wiimote controller app but one more step
So i could use the controller to play sayyyy Dungeon Hunter 2 or N.O.V.A or is it only for Emulators?

You can use it to play anything that can recognize keyboard inputs.

knew about this but didn't realize we could simply use the usb cable... i need to just try things more often.
do the analog sticks work for n64oid or fpsce?
Couldn't find any other similar threads.
I previously owned a Asus Transformer and was able to use a Wii Remote + Classic Controller and never had any issues with it. I tried that on my Nexus 10 with a couple different apps to sync with but none of them could get the thing to connect.
I wasn't too dismayed, it's kind of a pain to have the Wii Remote with Classic Controller dangling off it. So I went out and bought a new Bluetooth controller (Nyko PlayPad), and I can't get that to connect either. Using the Nyko app it seems like it detects the controller but can't actually connect. I ran it through on my phone (Droid 4) and it worked immediately. I don't have any other Bluetooth devices I can test with, but are there any known issues with Bluetooth on the Nexus 10? Is this anything a new ROM or wipe could fix?
I too had a problem with the nyko play pad on my nexus 10. There app is garbage after using it it seemed to break Bluetooth connectivity on my device and I had to factory reset to get it back.

I think there was a change to the blue tooth stack in 4.2 which caused lots of different programs to have issues.
I failed to get a Wii remote to work and as far as I can tell it just isn't possible. A PS3 controller works no problem and in my opinion is much better since Android recognises it as a gamepad as opposed to an input method.
Morning.
Last week or so I've been trying to get my PS3 Dualshock 3 Sixaxis controller working with my Nexus 7 via the Micro USB port, and I'm about to give up completely.
I've googled enough to make my head spin, so this is pretty much my last hope for a solution. I've tried with 4.1.1, 4.1.2 & 4.2.2.
I've mailed the developers of the apps mentioned below, but have yet to recieve any response. This was done more than just 1-2 days ago.
I've tried with & without rooting.
The controller works fine when connecting it to my computer & Transformer Prime. It's been close to fully charged all the time.
The Gameklip cable & the OTG-cable works. I can access HDD's, flashdrives & even the SD-card on my PSP.
While using the OTG-cable, I've tried with different USB - Mini USB cables.
Sixaxis Controller using Bluetooth works fine, not a single problem there. I can also add my Nexus 7's MAC-address to the controller via the app without any trouble.
USB/BT Joystick Center 8 finds the controller, but refuses to accept any input from it. The same developer has released a joystick analyzer, and it recognizes the correct vendor & product ID of the controller.
The keylayout file exists & is correctly mapped in my usr/keylayout directory. I've also tried using the Transformers keylayout on the Nexus 7.
And here's the kicker, the spare Gamestop Xbox 360 controller I've got laying around works without a problem. Which almost led to me frisbeeing this ****ing thing out the window. And even though it works, it's not a viable alternative for me since it doesn't fit in the Gameklip.
At this point I'm up for crazy ideas, so any help, no matter how far out there, is appreciated.
Thanks for taking the time to read through this, and if you have any ideas that might help, thanks in advance!

Sorry for the thread resurrection here but I have searched high and low on the internet and this is the only thing that I find that comes close to the same exact problem I am having. The only difference is I have a galaxy s3 running cyanogenmod 10.2. Same issue on 10.1. I can get a wired 360 controller to work just fine and even a Wii classic controller with a USB adapter to work. No Dualshock 3 though. You ever able to fix this?
I just got a new MOGA POCKET CONTROLLER today from best buy and I have run it through the process of pairing up with blue tooth on my 1st. Gen NEXUS 7 and it keeps saying to make sure that it has a passkey typed in to connect and hit pair but I don't see anywhere to type one in any ideas THANX and GBY

I have tried 3 different controllers with my phone so far and nothing works very well.
I have an ATT version of the Note3 running Android 4.3 on Baseband N900AUCUBNB4 - rooted of course.
I tried the Sony Ps3 Dualshock 3 controller with the Sixaxis app, and found the analog sticks worked great and the d-pad worked well in the main android windows, but as soon as I launched a game there was extremely bad lag on all buttons except for the 2 analog sticks. I'm talking a full second and up of delay before the system responds. I tried bluetooth and connecting to USB and it's the same.
I tried the xbox 360 controller with USB connection and tried to use it natively, but it has the exact issue that the Dualshock 3 had.
Fine, I figure maybe It's not meant to be and decided to try the Moga Pro Power which is actually made for android. On this controller, the buttons work great in the A mode, but the analog sticks have a gigantic deadzone in the middle! Not only that but the buttons all feel really weird. Not impressed one bit with this controller. Then I tried the B mode to see if the analog deadzone would go away. It stayed the same, but then the button lag appeared as it had on the PS3 and 360 controllers.
I'm at a loss here. I'm not sure if it's an issue with the stock ROM or what. I'm going to try a new ROM in the meantime but I find it rather odd that I can't find a single person having this issue via google or this forum...
Thoughts?

a USB on the go cable
Well, after a few weeks of screwing around with the stock ROM and 3 controllers, I decided to try a new ROM. I flashed the firenote ROM and tried my xbox360 controller with the usb cable, and sure enough, it works fantasticly. Only one slight flaw- the green light that indicates which player the controller is pointing to just constantly flashes.
I would also like to say that I contacted Moga customer support a week ago and have not heard any response about the terrible analog sticks, so I returned that thing. A full week and not even a reply!
Update on this: it had nothing to do with the ROM. It's xposed additions module that screwed everything up.
