Looking at the Moga Pro... any other options to consider? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm thinking about ordering the Moga Pro for use with my Nexus 4 (and hopefully Nexus 5 in the future). I mainly want to use it for emulators. I specifically like the fact that it holds your phone. Are there any other options (possibly cheaper) that do the same? Or is the Moga Pro the best?
Also, how securely does the phone fit? Do you ever need to worry about it falling out, or is it in there pretty well?

The Ipega controller is very cheap and works great with emulators http://amzn.to/13GFiKX
It doesn't have great support for other games without having to remap buttons etc. I had one and found it just ok.

Alright, I decided to try the Moga Pro. The Moga is available from Amazon directly and I know they are great about returns if I do not like it. The ipega is only available through third party retailers in the US so I'm concerned they may not be as easy about returns. Also, I have bigger hands and the ipega looks rather small.

So, I received the Moga Pro. The controller itself is solid but I'm not thrilled with the clip. It has a bit of "wiggle" to it, so the phone can shift slightly while it is in there. I'm not worried about it falling out, but for a $50 controller I expected it to be a little bit higher quality.

Why not just simply use a PS3 controller with bluetooth enabled?

Well, the ability to clip the controller in is fairly important to me.

PS3 controller + small sheet of metal bent 45 degrees + case + glue/tape/velcro = PS3 controller with clip.

I got my Moga Pocket. It feels great but I wish it had a d-pad. I'm using mine with the Moga Universal Driver and Tincore Keymapper, this allows you to emulate touch controls on any game.
I thought about using a PS3 controller but the Sixaxis Controller app requires you to put the controller into a certain mode before using either through a computer or an OTG enabled device. So it's not exactly portable since we don't have OTG.

OnLive player app now available

Oh yeh, you can now actually PLAY the games and the Xoom is officially supported. Touch controls are a bit dodgy so i was kinda hoping some clever person might get PS3 or Xbox controllers working but until then the official wireless controller is due out very soon.
Anyway, get it here: http://t.co/BIFyGpDR and enjoy.

Yeah, i'm gonna see if I can get the ps3 controller working with it, that would be awesome =]
My wired 360 controller through an OTG cable worked perfectly. This is a huge deal. Played split second and it looked great, lag wasn't an issue, I am impressed.
Got the app, we'll see what comes of this. Touchscreen is gonna have to go for me, not a fan of touchscreen controls especially when there's physical controller options. Tried a Saitek 6 button and a PS2 controller/adapter through the OTG... both let me use the analog stick and d-pad but no other buttons. Looks like it's time to bite the bullet and get the wired 360 controller.
Does the 360 controller work with navigating the menus, pausing and all that? And does the Xbox button do anything with OnLive?

Yeah it has full functionality built in with the wired controller. When you press the Xbox button it brings up the Onlive menu. It works REALLY well honestly
I'm guessing that OnLive will cotton on to that eventually and release an update to make all controllers except their own incompatible.
Having said that, has anyone tried using a wired controller with the USB adaptor that let's you use it with a PC? I'm guesting that only works with drivers but still......
The app actually runs ok when using my MiFi which i was surprised at. Although with a ping of anything over 70ms the controller lag gets a bit annoying.

After a few days with the app I'm pretty impressed. I gave the $10 a month plan a try so I could really get a good idea (plus compare against the PC version.)
The wired 360 controller works flawlessly and I agree, I could see them blocking the non-OnLive controller once it's released, or if they were smart after a little more adoption. The flawlessness goes away once you fire a game up though. There was some lag, and trying to play a couple multi-player shooters was dreadful. Playing these same games on the PC with the same controller was a noticeable improvement (of course, but just pointing that out).
Games look great on the Xoom but when I run it to the TV it's pretty low quality. Tried a few TVs, went through all kinds of TV settings, nothing made it look any better than PSX quality. Actually some PSX games have looked better on tube TVs to me. Could be a Xoom limitation, version 1 of the app, or a little of both. I could do without the mirroring on my tablet.
Sweet, Borderlands is included in the $10/month plan! Oh wait, here's a message that it won't run on tablets...
OnLive has some work to do with this, but it's very ambitious and I'm 100% behind this idea. They'll have some challenges now since they've gone to having a micro-console and PC/Mac apps to also having multiple Android tablets and phones and Apple tablets and phones. As far as this app on the Xoom, I would hold off on spending money with OnLive until the app gets a little better.
i like snes via ps3 controller on xoom - hooked up to tv - so this would be pretty nice too I bet!
Got my wired xbox controller today and it works brilliantly as previously confirmed. Just gotta hope OnLive don't go and nobble it's compatibility cos it was £25 cheaper than the official one.
Still, if they do, i can always use it with my xbox/PC......lol
Might actually buy a few play-passes now. Just gotta hope that 3 somehow manage to improve the latency on their MiFi so i can play on the go. Dreaming?

Has anyone got the Xbox 360 wireless controller to work with the OnLive app on the Xoom?
I'm using the official Motorola OTG cable with an official Xbox 360 Wireless Gaming Receiver (http://goo.gl/Rhi0q). The combination works brilliantly for emulators like SNES9X but it doesn't seem to work with OnLive. It registers the left analog stick, the start button (goes back to the Xoom home screen), and buttons A & B which seem to be the equivalent of Esc on the keyboard.
If there's no trick or an app I could use to map the controller to keyboard commands, etc. I might have to get a wired 360 controller specifically for OnLive.

PS3 CoNTROLLER or OUYA CoNTROLLER?

Hey so I bought an ouya controller when I bought my ouya but I'm thinking about exchanging it for a ps3 controller. Any thoughts on helping me make this decision. I'm hoping that I will be able to test one out before I exchange but it isn't looking good

I think the D-pad on the OUYA controller is clumsy.
For example, I've tried navigating XBMC only to find myself pulling up side menus. Its also a bit of a nightmare typing using the popup keyboard with the controller.
Now i use my PS3 controller with the PS3 wireless keypad. The keypad also has a button to enable touch like control.

Yeah I feel the same way it. It feels cheap like not worth the 50 that I spent on it. I'm trying real hard to think of a reason to keep the ouya controller since I hate to return items but it's not looking good
I personally like the PS3 better just because the dpad. I find I can get around easier and retro games are more responsive. I hate the circular dpads. Either give me a plus layout or the PS style layout.

Yes you are . Thanks for the responses I'm on my way to exchange the controller.
I got it and am definitely liking it more hopefully I'll come up with a way to get this to recognize the ps3 as another ouya controller
I hope to use a PS4 controller an the Ouya to get everything.
Edit: I like the playstation layout better and if the PS4 controller works on the Ouya including the touchpad it could be a full replacement for people who like me want that layout but people who want the "X-Box" layout could use the Ouya controller.

No, you're not! I really like this controller! I think the touchpad is an awesome feature that, while isn't perfect, really makes using the OUYA easy. Personally the only thing I would fix with it is "Clicking" with the touchpad is a bit hit and miss. Also if there was a 2 finger tap-and-drag, that would make using it even better.
Personally I won't have any other controller hooked up unless I need more than the 2 OUYA controllers I have.
If only the D-Pad was a bit more responsive and less sticky then I would agree that it is a decent controller as the actual shape and feel of it is quite comfortable.
I could be hallucinating but did anyone notice slightly more input lag using the PS3 controllers?

Of all the different keyboards/mice/controllers I've tried, I know that your set up is got to be the best way to do it! Especially if you are a power user on X BMC...
Is there any way you can share with us instructions on how to pair the PS3 keypad to the ouya? I've looked all over the forums but can't seem to find one... Lots of info on the controller, but nothing on the keypad. (I've tried using the ps3 Controller pairing instructions on the keypad and have had no success)
BTW, I have the official Sony Wireless Keypad model# CECHZ1UC
I'm not using the sony one. I have an old Logitech keyboard with touchpad sold as a PS3 addon. Has some PS3 buttons on it but is mostly just bt keyboard.

N7 2nd gen -- controllers?

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.

Mine works with the PS3 controller through the sixaxis app. I don't have a wii so don't know about those.

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

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.

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).

[Q] Gaming controller suggestions

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

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.

HELP! Looking for a cheap and good bluetooth controller!

hey guys,
as you can see in the title i am looking for a good bluetooth controller that works flawlessly with our tegra note 7. btw it has to be a 14 button controller like the xbox 360 controller.
the problem is i only found tons of expensive ones like the moga, steelseries or snakebyte idroid controllers and a bunch of chinese controllers which seem to be too cheap and too bad in terms of quality and compatibility.
i just want to play all kind of games (on emulators for most of the time) while i am still able to charge the tablet so i can play longer instead of playing for an hour before the battery goes low.
i found an interesting controller thats called "red samurai v2" that was sold by gamestop. but i can't find this one anymore since it is not available in the online store from gamestop itself. i also can't find it in other stores like amazon or ebay. i googled the **** out this in hope to find at least one that wasn't sold out. i heard the red samurai v2 was extremely good in terms of quality and compatibility for its price (was just about 10-20$)
since i gave up on finding this particular one, i am right at the beginning again.
now i am asking you if you have any good recommendations for some bluetooth controllers that are not too expensive (maximum 25$) but still work as good as any other normal gaming controller on our tablet (like the xbox 360 controller i used to play with via usb OTG).
pls remember: it has to be a 14 button controller just like the xbox 360 controller
very important to me: 4 shoulder buttons (L+R Bumpers and L+R Triggers). because many cheap ones only have 2 bumpers but no triggers.
I have not tested if the controller works with the TN7 (even though I do own both), but the Xiaomi controller is a bargain. Super amazing build quality, though you do most likely have to import it and wait up to a month to receive it.
Another option would be to get a PS3 controller (which should be cheap by now seeing as the console is in its retirement age) and use it with the Sixaxis app, but again, I am not up to date to confirm if this works.

i also found the xiaomi controller a while ago. but the sad thing is the import costs make it to expensive for me now. i mean i only need a controller for my tablet. maybe it will find its way to europe someday so i don't have to pay 10+€ for just import costs.
and for the ps3 controller, someone already made a thread that he managed to get it to work on the TN7 but since i used to play xbox 360, the ps3 controller just feels very small in my hands (i have a friend with a ps3, thats because i know the haptics of it)
guess i will just wait a bit and look if i can find the right one or if one of the already existing controllers to get cheaper.
I bought my Xiaomi controller at allbuy.com, it was around 20 Euro with everything included. But I did wait 4 or 5 weeks for it to arrive. Worth checking it out.
