Wow.... How do I do that?
I'm so looking to score a Dualshock controller deal this Black Friday. Mine is not working so well now.

There's a couple different apps in the Play Store. Here is the most popular one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...elstudios.sixaxiscontroller&feature=nav_other

Couldn't you also use otg cable to connect with your controller?

Android has had otg support since 3.1. I'm pretty confident it will still work in 4.2

Yes, it will. It needs root though, if you didnt know

Just tried my PS3 controller with my otg cable and it doesn't work either on the homescreens or in riptide gp. I haven't rooted yet so can't try the wireless option. If this doesn't work it's a major negative, PS3 and Xbox controllers worked brilliantly with the Galaxy S3 and I was hoping it would be the same for the N4.

So far I have tried six axis wireless with root and when it starts the driver it fails, starts the alternative driver and also fails.
=(

No ability to power devices through the usb. Hardware limitation it seems.

I'm aware of a compatibility issue with the newly released Android 4.2 and hope to have a fix within the next couple of days. Thanks for your understanding.
six axis may not be working due to android 4.2, damn i hope it works eventually

Here is the program sizpair makes the pair for the PS3 controller. But there is a problem - BT does not find the controller.
I know there is a problem with the devices connected via BT - does not find. It seems the problem is android 4.2
P.S. My old Nexus S, with no problems to connect PS3 controller via BT (android 4.1).

I'm using a ps3 controller on my nexus 7 running 4.2.1 with six axis and it works flawlessly.

You are using ROOT and third-party software?
But for me it is not an option - because I know that in version 4.1 it works without ROOT!

So it won't work on the nexus 4 even with root?

With the root will work. However, it should be a separate program ists to find it.
I do not understand what the meaning was removed native support for ps3 controller from android 4.2

I agree. When it works it completely transforms the gaming experience. I don't own a nexus 4 yet but I will be placing my order As soon as they come back into stock here in the UK

I've got it to work beautifully by using the six axis app. Dead trigger is amazing with it!

What game controller will work with stock nexus 7?

I thought a play station 3 one would work, but i read you have to be rooted? Then I read a wired xbox 360 controller will work? What works for sure? Thanks

You only have to be rooted if you want to use the ps3 control wirelessly. Otherwise on stock, buy a USB OTG cable and plug the control in.

Ok will a generic ps3 controller work? People said the knock off brands wont work but maybe their talking about wireless ones only?

It may or may not. Hook it up and see. It should see it as a gamepad. Bout the wireless, yes if its a knock off it won't connect wirelessly with the six axis controller app.

i've tested the OTG cable with the official Dual Shock 3 controller, and some third-party wired controller- i think Nyko?
both worked on stock.
NYKO PLAY PAD PRO $40.00 at your local GameStop once you buy it go to GPLAY and download the app PLAYGROUND and sync it with your games GOD BLESS it works great on my stock NEXUS7

Sixaxis Controller

Has anyone managed to get this to work? Compatibility checker says its fine but it never pairs. No USB Otg is a pain too.
Did you set the master Bluetooth address for the controller using the program on your PC?

I did, but it was to no avail. Has it worked for you?
Nvm. Fixed with a restart of my n4.
It works lovely for me. Been playing Sonic 4 and Asphalt 7 with it, as well as a few SNES games via Snesoid. Much nicer than on screen or tilt control.
Time for Vice City methinks!
I agree. Now if I can get my hands on a slimport adaptor, I'll be all set. Screw ouya lol.

Is it a bug that can be patched
I haven't come across a patch, but I think it might be fixable. Hopefully 4.2.2 will fix it... And all the other USB OTG bugs

[Q] Best controller for N4

Hello !
I was wondering that is the best controller around for the N4 (compatible with Drastic)
I didn't find anything except that Ipega and Moga are popular at the moment.
Thanks !
I've been through a few different controllers and the Moga Pro is the only one I've been happy with
You'll have to wait until the iControlPad 2 is released.

Sixaxis on Note 3?

Hello fellow Note 3 users!
I'm curious if a Sixaxis controller will work with micro USB - Mini USB cable on this phone when its NOT rooted?.
Can anyone with a N9005 test this for me?

Could you simply not use the Six axis app and connect via BT ?

The sixaxis app requires root
I would get a MogaPro personally much better less hassle

" It uses Bluetooth to pair but doesn't use the standard HID profile. So it requires a specific app running in the background to work. The proprietary app only works with Moga supported games (list is pretty short)."
The moga can be programmed to work with any app/emulator

I confirmed several weeks ago that PS3 controllers work via USB OTG with the Note 3.

Gameklip and sixaxis here as well. The combo has been through 4 phones and is still going strong.
I can confirm that it works fine for GTA and drastic on a stock uprooted note 3.
