I am looking to get a gaming controller for the tf300t. What works best with this tablet or is most compatible? Looking at Gamestop Controller and Nyko Playpad, are those my only options besides the PS3 and Xbox?
I just ordered the Nyko Play Pad but have not recieved it yet. I have heard really good things about it so we shall see. You can get a good look at it on youtube.
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.

Because the MOGA Pro Controller has very good JoyPad support in Games, more then M.O.J.O.
MOGA Universal Driver, Provides full functionality for the PowerA MOGA™ Pocket and MOGA™ Pro controllers.
MOGA Pivot, The MOGA Pivot™ app pairs your MOGA™ controller to your Android smartphone or tablet, links to titles from our growing library of
150+ MOGA-enhanced games, and detects the MOGA-enhanced games you already have installed.
If only Mad Catz sold there M.O.J.O. without JoyPad.

They supported google's standard.
MOGA uses(used?) their own library for controller support, CTRLR uses google's standard controller support.
I expect more devs now to drop 3rd part controller support and only support google's standard.
Is MOGA BT4? I don't think it is.
MOGA doesn't support PC/Mouse mode.. which I use as a wireless mouse on my laptop sometimes..

And that is good because that means you can use allot more games, then only the google's standard controller support, whats the MOGA Pro
Controller also can use, without problems.
If you need Bluetooth 4, it's only handy because it uses less electricity, and you can simply use the tough screen to start Apps on a Tablet, or use a
cheap mouse so thats also no problem, when i used the Mad Catz M.O.J.O. i only used my air mouse, worked allot better for me then holding a
JoyPad with two hands, i only used the JoyPad to play games.
Thread cleaned.
Please stop the arguing. If this device doesn't interest you, please post elsewhere.

Thank you.
Nintendo 64 Games play fluidly on the Fire TV with no lag or arteffect if you are hard-core Nintendo fan in general you will be amazed with the experience that's emulator offers.
I think my next step is to use the Wii mote wirelessly to get full Nintendo experience :fingers-crossed:
Here is the video how to, Peace:

Just one question, got it all to work, but how did you get the on screen cursor? I really wanna go to the profiles tab and can't seem to get there with the controller/remote ...
I'm glad that it is working, for my understanding you are trying to use your Amazon controller or a remotes to move the cursor ( for me I was using my wireless Microsoft 800 keyboard and mouse but you can use any keyboard or mouse ) I think it's a very good question the possible to use Amazon controller to control the mouse cursor. I have to do some research to see how it can be accomplished.
multiplayer?

Can you play multiplayer? What all controllers have you tested?

I play N64 often on my gen 2 fire stick. Some lag on heavy games like golden eye, but haven't found any to be unplayable yet. I use a wired xbox 360 controller for player 1 and 2. that's all I had laying around so couldn't test 3 and 4
yeah , I can inally play some old n64 games again. goot times........
u can play a lot more like SNES. I played through Earthbound with the Amazon remote.
Can the shield TV handle different controllers during multiplayer? I've read that it is possible using the same controller but it's the shield controller that causes problems... I was planning on getting a shield TV 2017 and using my ps3 dualshock for multiplayer...
I'm sure there will be app specific issues too. Planning to use it mainly on fpse. But if other games work with it, that would be better. I have never alone and badlands which I hear are nice for coop play
