With the great racing games available for the S3 I really would like to know if anybody has succesfully connected the Logitech G27 Racing Wheel to their Android phone!
Would be cool, but i doubt it would work

It defeats the whole purpose of the accelerometer and steering with your hand.
Or are you streaming over to your tv? Because that would be sweet.

Actually it should work with USB/BT Joycentre with a Ps1/2 wheel.
And I think I'll dig out my old wheel later and give it a shot.
Any luck with that weel like?

Yeah, streaming to my 42 inch
I really would like to hear if that ps1 wheel works
Just tried a Ps2 wheel connecting through OTG and one of those $4 adapters to use Ps2 controllers on Ps3 and the phone recognises it straight away as if it was a wired Ps3 controller and when you turn the wheel it goes left and right through the phone menu.
And I tried on FPSE and buttons all mapped, but only problem is it won't recognise wheel as analog so have to turn the wheel all the way so is more like an on/off button.
Thanks for that test, would be nice to know if android can (be modified to) handle analog devices

I know there are videos of XBox 360 and Playstation controllers working with the Transformer and 3.1, but has any one here actually got it working?
I have the dock, and have tried two different generic usb2 game controllers (PS3 style), and have tried both ports on the dock, but I dont get any notification pop up or menu options in settings, and none of my games react to the controller inputs?
am I missing something?
cheers.
Hey there. I just got fpse, an emulator app that allows you to play PS1 games on various devices. I just plugged in my PS3 controller and it began to work flawlessly on my transformer after i had assigned keys to the different buttons within the app. No notification came up after plugging in, so i dont know if the controller can be used just like that (i.e. moving the mouse around on the home screen , etc)
Edit: i can move the homescreen around with the directional pad as well as the left joystick, but it is very delayed and buggy
the PS3 controller works, and most USB gamepads should. Xbox 360 one does not right now. Asus bug.
however, outside of emulators and cordy most games have no gamepad support.
best way to test is to download cordy or side load an emulator and go into the key binding. if you can bind a key to the controller then it works.
I have Cordy, I'll give that a go later, Thanks.
(I have tried it in Pocket Racing and Meganoid with no luck though.)
Tried my USB game pad with Cordy last night but no luck.
guess i'll have to try a PS3 controller if I can borrow one.
I don't have a dock. Does PS3 controller work via bluetooth?
My wiimote works great by using the app - WiimoteController via bluetooth connection.

No, it has to be plugged into one of the USB ports on the dock.
tried my xbox360 controller and it didn't work..the green ring on the controller kept blinking and none of the keybindings would work..
then I tried my other generic gamepad (still xbox360 style), D-PAD seems functioning but button 5-9 and LT/RT didn't..
haven't tried ps3 controller yet..but heard one of my friends said it works flawlessly
No bluetooth connection? That's so stupid! I have to sit very close to my lcd TV if I export my eeepad via hdmi.

Very stupid too! Why wiimote can do this but ps3 or xbox controller don't? They suppose to use similar bluetooth technology. Am I right? Now this update is useless for me and other tablets which don't have an usb port. It sucks!

so it was my understanding that an innate ability of 3.1 was that it allowed us to plug in controllers, including PS3 and 360, and play witht hem. I plugged in my PS3 controller, expecting some sort of "input detected" message, but nothing. theredoesn't seem to be anything in the settings to configure or connect a device, either.
how do we do this? I know there are some emulators that have released updates with controller compatibility in the changelog.
As far as i kmow you camt connect a 360 controller. To connect a ps3 controller u need sixaxis controller. Its a paid app in the market.

I connected my wireless xbox360 controller using the PC dongle. I never got any message, it just worked. There are videos showing how to do it.
I can also confirm if you plug in a usb xbox 360 controller it works almost instantly
Using the xBox wireless usb adapter for PC to play emulators on my a500 3.1. Works like a charm.
The app to support the PS3 Sixaxis controller is only needed if you use it over bluetooth. It works without that program plugged in by USB. Bluetooth support is cool, but you need a PC as part of the pairing process for the controller.
Doing something with the controllers is something different though ... most emulators allow you to map the controller keys to the game, but you need to set them up in the emulator.

does anyone have any tips on disabling the home and back keys on the android while using a different input method? I connected s wired xbix 360 controller to my tablet and I can bind some buttons for emukators but other buttons on the controller are bound to home and back so when I try and use those bbuttons in the emulator they either close or worse I can't even bind the buttons because I'm pressing back. I also am unable to use the right thumbstick for input. Any suggestions and/or help?

Use an app called bt/USB joystick controller (just search "joystick" in market.) Its a paid app but about 60p and well worth it. I use it with my wired and wireless Xbox pad.
It has custom profiles for all different pads and means all ure buttons work. The UI isn't massively clear but once its set up its a doddle You basically tell ur device that input method is not touch screen keyboard, but instead your pad.
Best part is that I use my pad for some proper games (ie not emulators) and its great. Gta is awesome on it.
Awesome app but I'm having troubke configuring my analog sticks would you ir anyone happen to have a driver for a wired 360 controller appsrentky you can export profiles.
I was surprised that a ps3 controller when plugged in with the USB and it just worked

I just loaded up the standard control profile for wired 360 pad. Analogue sticks work fine though I think it treats them as digital. Did see there was option for some analogue settings within the program

Many games, including Grand Theft Auto III have built-in coding for controllers. I plugged my PS3 controller in and it worked perfectly.

Does it matter if you're on a custom ROM or OC'd? I couldn't get my PS3 controller to work on GTA 3 using the Epiphany ROM.

I might be wrong but the gamepad support comes from the kernel. Maybe inquire with the Dev, just a question are you plugging the ps3 in with USB?

Wireless
Has anybody tried connecting a wireless controller? (in a fashion similar to how you'd connect a wireless controller to a PC)

I can hook the wireless dongle for xbox360 controller up and get some functionality with the controller, but the thumbsticks won't work in gta3.

Has anyone had success with setting up a profile for this game using sixaxis controller?
No matter what I do the right analog stick wont work correctly
Same problem
Hey Koszor, same problem here... the button mapping of my sixaxis controller (official controller) seems to be incorrect.
How did you get the left analog to work?
I just put the left analog stick on the left side , it worked perfectly. I'll post a screenshot tomorrow of what I have so far cause it worked just fine for me.
The right analog stick for me was a little screwey it worked.. just not as it should.

I don't have the game, but I've played shooter games that don't have gamepad support. If your character isn't fully rotating, try setting your aiming stick to 'relative touch' mode.
Hope that helps, it did for me in the past.

I figured out why it didn't work:
You hace to press Start in the sixaxis controller app first. Then wait for the app to get superuser acces (I get a little notification) and then press the sony-logo on the controller. This way my controller is recognised as a supported controller (the lights on the controller stop flashing, and the P1 light stays on).
I added my profiles of Modern Combat 3 and COD:BOZ for the Asus Transformer Prime (but they may work on your Nexus 7 too...)
put the .map files in data/com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller/profiles/ and select the profile in the sixaxis app as active profile
Does anyone know of any bluetooth controllers that work with our device? Phonejoy or anything? I'm on slim rom 4.2.2 build 2 with KTmanta kernel.Thanks.
Ps3 will work with the sixaxis app.

I use a $30 "controller for tablets" that I got from GameStop. It works perfect in my Game Boy Advance and SNES emulator. In the emulator itself go to controls and then assign the buttons however you want. The one problem with modern versions of Android is that when a bluetooth controller is connected, you can no longer use the on-screen keyboard because the controller is your input device. You have to disconnect the controller (or just disable bluetooth) if you want to type stuff again. No that big a deal since you only really have it on while playing a game anyway
Looks like it is on sale now for $20:

Ps3 controller through sixaxis app is awesome and has more native game pad support from apps than any others I've seen... Some games even change all the buttons in game to reflect the ps3 controller... I like where it would normally say "tap here" and it will say "push X"
The bard's tale comes to mind
Plus it let's you set up touch emulation for games that don't have native game pad support
Thanks for the input guys! I tried the one from gamestop. It was red samurai brand. Didn't work. Phonejoy is updating their hardware and is no longer manufacturing those remotes. I'm gonna go with sixaxis. Thanks!!
Has anyone else had issues syncing a wireless xbox 360 controller to their android stick? I only recently picked up a wireless/usb adapter for the controller, but cannot for the life of me sync the controller to work on the mk809 (non BT, so please dont suggest a ps3 controller).
I can get the controller to sync fine with my PC and my Galaxy Nexus, so I do know that the usb adapter works.
I have watched a few videos and did a quick search but didnt come up with anything about sync issues. I have watched youtube videos of mk's using 360 controllers, so that shouldnt be a problem.
Ideas?
I use my PS3 controller with a cable and of works great. I also have a 360 controller with wireless USB. Although I have an MK808 but they are pretty much the same I think.
Although I have to use a button mapping app IME. I use JoyCenter or something. It lets me map all the buttons and works OK. I played with emulators and seems pretty responsive.
You might need a custom rom with the drivers preinstalled, or root and do it yourself.
Could be the problem.

I believe that you will need to use a wired controller to get it to connect.
