Hey guts just wanting to start a thread highlighting the Games that allow you to use a USB controller to play the game. The only two I know are shadowgun and riptide any others?
Also I emailed the Dev of age of zombies and ask if he would support them. Also emailed Gameloft. You would think if they can enable xplay controls they should be able to enable USB game pads.

n64oid lets you play with wired xbox controller, but this app is no longer in the market due to a nintendo complain.
Thanks but I pretty much knew about emulators being able to use controllers. Know of any other apps that do?
riptide and shadowgun, oh Corey does too
Dont know if many of you guys knew, but the glow wired controllers from gamestop works fine with ics.. tried my microsoft xbox 360 controller and official sony controllers and no dice..plugged in this controller and worked instantly.. gta, shadowgun,emulators, onlive etc and they are only 30 bucks. hopes this helps a bunch of pissed people who couldnt use gamepads like me on their tabs.
Is this the controller you're talking about:

If not could you post a link?
Thanks.
this ics release sounds more like a down upgrade.
No way I'm going to shell out more money when I already bought the Xbox controller just for the transformer (I don't even have a Xbox)
Yes that's it (second post) but I got the ps3 version don't know if it will make a difference.

I have no issues with my PS3 controller, once I connect the USB cord to the Dock and press the PS3 button.
However games like shadowgun play a little akward, so I setup custom keys using usb/bt joystick center. It takes a bit to configure everything, but once you do it works excellent.
So I have a question that I've been searching for an answer to but haven't had any luck.
Plan on buying an mk808b tonight, which I want to use pretty much strictly for running emulators(NES,snes,genesis, n64)and browsing the web occasionally.
Wanted to know what would be the best way to be able to use 2 controllers at once? I read that it is compatible with the wireless 360 controller, but I would need to buy the pc dongle to pick up the signal, and from what I've read, 2 controllers through the dongle is a no go, because it does not differentiate one control from another. Is this right? I already have 2 wireless 360 controllers so that's a shame.
So if I were to go Bluetooth, say the gamestop Bluetooth tablet controller, would I have a problem using 2 of the same controller at once? Should be no problem mapping them in the emulators right?
Thanks
Should be fine. Definitely options in emulators for it

Did you got the solution? I'm searching for the same
So, I sold my first gen N7 and my 2nd gen is in the mail.
My question is this: what are my options for hooking up a controller?
I have read that the Bluetooth no longer supports Wii and ps3 controllers.
What about wiring one through an otg cable? Like a 360 wired controller?

Can you provide a source for blue tooth incompatibility? Nothing should have changed and they would be stupid to have disabled that feature. OTG should still be viable.

You'd have better luck posting in the actual Nexus 7.2 forums at this point.
Crap, my bad. Didn't see an N7.2 forum ... Hopefully a mod will move it for me.
I don't have the source at the moment, but I read a q&a from another thread here saying Bluetooth was no longer viable after 4.3.
I tried to make a RAZR Orca (360 controller) work with otg and it wouldn't recognise it.

This thread got moved to the N7.2 forum, but never got any replies... anyone know if the new N7.2 can hook up to controllers?
Preferably a RAZR Onza?

Mine works with the PS3 controller through the sixaxis app. I don't have a wii so don't know about those.
edit -- I'm rooted too btw. I think you need to be for the sixaxis app to work anyway
edit 2 -- I just tried hooking up my wired xbox 360 controller with my OTG cable and it is picked right up automatically without any other software

Good to know, thank you for that info
I'm rooted, and currently downloading a ROM with GApps for it. I don't own a PS3 controller though... maybe I can find a friend that will let me borrow his to test it out...

I've only used PSX, PS2, and original Xbox controllers so far (yes, original Xbox, great for N64 emulation, just cut off the tip and splice a regular USB cable on) and they all worked, but the Xbox controller sadly had major input lag (like 4 full seconds).
Thank you so much for that! I'm gonna subscribe. Let me know when it can support the wiimote again and I'll buy that app too

How did you get wired controllers to work? I have a wired 360 controller, and a PS2 controller with USB end on it.

You need an OTG adapter.
I have one...

You might not be interested in buying another, separate, controller; but, of you don't mind, the Moga Pro controller is fantastic. It has a very premium feel to it, and very much so reminds me of a Xbox 360 controller. Its compatible with all of the major apps. Plus, the ones that it isn't compatible with, you can set up for yourself.
They also have fantastic customer support. I picked up my Flo on launch day. The Moga Pivot application wasn't running, so I emailed them. Within two days they had sent out an update and thanked me for letting them know. Also, its fully wireless. So none if that OTG stuff, and you can use it on your phone.

It works with Bluetooth?

Just another confirmation that once rooted, the PS3 controller works great.

The OEM ps3 using Bluetooth? And with what app?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2
I would recommend a PS3 controller. It has been the best controller I've ever used on Android. I have been through them all. I have a Moga Original, and its great for on the go but lacks a D-Pad. I have an Ouya controller, but it's clunky D-Pad is similar to the 360's. WiiMotes (which don't work currently) are great but lacks the button count to play anything other then NES emulators. The Moga, Ouya, 360, WiiMote, and PS3 all have good battery life. Other controllers typically suck the juice and have bad button feedback or otherwise cheaply made. Don't waste your money on anything other then the above noted.
The PS3 has a great DPad and quality. Batteries last a long time, buttons feel great, response time is flawless, connects directly to the Tablet (no dongle like 360).
The Moga is iffy. Seems to be effected with delayed response when using the Moga Pairing app, which is required for the second analog support and for launching games so they pick up on the controls. Controls aren't bad but if you play something like Mario or Sonic, you'll feel the controls are slightly "off". Still a great controller for on-the-go. I haven't tried the Moga on the new N7 yet, they may have fixed this lag.
The PS3 controller is also probably one of the cheaper controllers you can find. I picked up a White PS3 DualShock from Gamestop for $29 new. The PS3 also has the greatest amount of support. It plays reliably across all of my devices, where the others are hit and miss.
The app required is the SixAxis Pairing app from the Play Store. Some custom roms build in this driver and the controller can connect natively, but for the most part, you would use the app. Benefits of the app also include the ability to map buttons to touchscreen overlay controls for games that do not support gamepads.

Out of curiosity, are you talking about the MOGA Pocket or the MOGA Pro? I own the latter and have never had too much trouble with the device in HIG mode (the MOGA app itself though was something of another level of horror).

Using this app: Sixaxis Controller
Note: You must be rooted and use a PC to change the pairing address of the controller to that of your Nexus 7. They provide a free PC utility to do that.
So I'm torn between two options. A PS3 controller + gameklip, and the Moga Pro. Specifically with 4.3.
With our lack of a self powered USB OTG, and the recent changes in Bluetooth from 4.2 onward, what is the "best" controller to use with our N4s?
Rooting is not a problem. As most reviews of android game controllers revolve around not having to be rooted, and having USB OTG support.
I'm leaning towards the Moga Pro with its built in clip, and dual connection mode. (Bluetooth HID, and the Moga app.)
Anyone has experience using both controllers on the N4?
Edit: wasn't sure if to post here or in the Q&A forum. Since the question itself is about accessories. If a mod deems necessary, please move this thread.

I haven't use the Moga so i'm posting for no reason...ha
But I really do love the ps3 controller using an app by the same name from the play store. It really is great how you can image map and such. That being said, there is a Moga thread in this forum somewhere and you might get better results there. Id be interested to hear about the comparison though.

Yeah, the compatibility of the ps3 seems to be the best. The ability to map buttons to screen presses seems to be the best way to make any game work, whether it has controller support or not.
I've heard of lag issues of using Bluetooth and WiFi at the same time with the Moga, not sure if these issues were ever fixed or not. Are they present with the ps3 controller? I have unlimited mobile data, but reception is obviously better on WiFi than mobile while inside my house.
The main thing stopping me from using the PS3 controller is the price. Once I buy an official controller plus the gameklip, you're looking at almost $80 after taxes and/or shipping.
I've been watching craigslist and might start looking at local pawn shops to see if I can find a used ps3 controller at a better price. (Unlike GameStop which gives you a whole $5 off for a used controller)
Edit: and while i asked for opinions from those who have used both, I'm more than open to hear from those who have used one or the other. I just want opinions from people who actually use one of these devices on a N4 with 4.3.

hello my friend, i recently purchased the moga pro controller to play with my n4, and im absolutly happy about it, the control feels really nice in your hand, like really nice..i've been playing a lot mc4,riptide gp2, asphalt 8, shadowgun deadzone and a few more, and they all run perfectly with no laggs, i repit, 0 lagg xD... i've been playing some emulator aswell, using the moga universal driver controller, and it runs just fine , playing zelda ocarina of time on this bad boy is really awesome , i have tried sixasis controller, but for like 2-3 days, and it was ok, but u need a gameklip to play with, and the set up for mapping is a bit strange to me ( i dont know why) setting up the moga controller was not a problem, is really easy to set up.
i hope this help to you, if u have any question for the moga pro controller, just ask
grettings
(pardon for my english)

I'm not sure if it will work but I think ziddeys kernel can work...its a modded version of Franco's...it supports OTG...but ul need an OTG cable with external power...
I'm currently using it with flash drives, Mouse, card readers,etc...but I'm not sure if a game controller might work or not...
Here's the link to the kernel...

I'm on 4.3 rasbean, I use both ps3 controller and the moga controller. I use the ps3 controller when my phone is connected to the TV. I stream my pc, and I play fps and emulators on the TV, it's like a little console for me. Moga works great for the road doesn't work with my pc streaming app but works great with other apps like gta.
Both worked well with Franco and I haven't noticed lag with them. I use them often. Both work great, but Moga doesn't work with everything like kainy my pc streaming app, I play Diablo 3 with the ps3 controller
What's gameklip?

I will have to check out kainy, that's one feature I loved about the nvidia shield. While the streaming app sounds awesome, I honestly only see myself using it with diablo iii. KB/mouse > controller for fps. Strategy games have too many buttons. Diablo is honestly perfect.
The phone will be the screen. I won't be hooking it up to the television. I'll wait for a dedicated device for that.
Gameklip is a ~$20 plastic clip that will hold your phone onto the ps3 controller. Much like the Moga will hold your phone. A little pricey, but from all the reviews its a very well made clip.

For you it sounds like you need to sell the Moga and get a gameklip.

I had an Ipega, it wasn't great. Really want to try a Moga but they're still too expensive in the UK.
