Just wanted to know if there has been any updates on the Nvidia Shield TVs' support for the Xbox One S controller? I don't really like the feel of the Shield controller and I've always liked the Xbox controllers, so I'm considering purchasing a couple of them to use for GameStream on the Nvidia Shield.
I've read posts on here and various other forums about how well this controller works, and came to the following conclusion:
#1: You need to update the controller to the latest firmware to fix button mapping.
#2: The controller needs to be re-paired each time the Shield reboots.
#3: Rumble doesn't work.
Is #2 and #3 still the case? Or has that been solved recently? If not, can you recommend me another wireless controller that works well with the Shield?

which one works better?
i know i need the adaptor..
XBOX ONE CONTROLLER DOES NOT WORK ON SHIELD TV as of now, the only place it works wireless is on a Windows 10 PC. 360 wireless works absolutely perfect with the exception of the flashing LEDS
is there a lot of battery drain with the flashing led
No more than usual I'd say. Remember that the led is usually constantly on... So not much difference

Can you really confirm the Xbox One controller works with the NVIDIA Shield TV wired?
Cause that would be awesome too me but I've always read the Shield TV didn't support it at all...

Whoa Nazgulled I've just tried it again and you're right, it didn't work!! Really sorry for any confusion...
I'm sure I had it working with gamesome on one of my devices, I'm off to try, and will edit my previous post.
Sorry guys!
Xbox One controllers might work in a future image, check here. My offer stands for XDA members as well: If you know what you're doing I can spare you the chore of compiling your own kernel, but I have no idea if it'll work for you (I'm not an actual developer.)
xbox 360 controllers better than the nvidia ? for multiplayer
DS4. Amazing trigger buttons and handfeel. Works with the sixaxis controller program. Has a touchpad that works fine with many games.
cool i may go for ds4
I've installed full Android on my shield TV. I have an issue with extreme lag using a ps4 and shield gamepads usb wired. Its very strange because in the stock Android interface everything works flawless. But when I use GeForce Now i get extreme lag on button presses where i have to hold face buttons for about 2 seconds to get a response. But this only happens when a game is loaded. When im in the GeForce Now Menu my conttoller works and response is fine. Same thing with RetroArch. Ive tried bluetooth with my PS4 controller and I get the same result.
Also, how would i be able to get my Shield gamepad working wirelessly?? I heard something about using with droidmote client server but its not really clear to me.
Can somebody help me figure this out? I switched to Full Android for more freedom and apps but if I cant use my controllers then i will have to revert to rooted stock firmware for my shield.
You're probably going to want to go back to stock firmware then. There is no fix for getting the Nvidia wireless controllers working with Full Android. This is due to the closed source nature of the wireless controller drivers.
But what about other controllers like PS4? I heard PS4 can work wirelessy and Shield controller can work wired
Hi everyone! This might be a long post, but I figured I'll give as much detail as I can in the first post. I recently got an Nvidia Shield TV over the holidays and I've been loving it, incredibly powerful device that's totally exceeded my expectations. However I've been having one nagging issue, and that is in the topic of getting 4 controllers to work through Gamestream/Moonlight.
To give a quick background on what I'm working with - I have a Shield Gamepad with an official Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless USB Receiver and 3 Xbox 360 Gamepads.
With Gamestream, multi controller support doesn't seem to work at all. When disabled, the Shield Gamepad works perfectly without a hitch in single player games. However, as soon as I turn it on through the menu, the controller instantly stops working. I can still navigate the menus of Gamestream, but the actual input of my controller is no longer being sent to my PC in the other room.
Now, Moonlight seems to solve this problem, but only partially. Installed with no customizations, Moonlight will support multiple controllers, but will stop at 3, meaning that I can have my Shield Gamepad and two Xbox 360 controllers functional, but the last controller's input will not go through, even though it is connected to the receiver and able to send inputs to the Shield itself.
I am able to get all 4 controllers working simultaneously with Dolphin, Mupen64Plus AE, ePSXe... You get the picture. It works GREAT with everything, but I have these weird issues whenever I try to get this to work with the official Gamestream app and Moonlight.
I've tried even hooking up a wired Xbox 360 controller to the Shield in an attempt to fix both issues, but the same thing happens. Weirdly enough, when I go to my PC and hook up a controller, then that controller can take over the 4th controller slot! But then you have 3 people gaming in one room with the last player in a completely separate room using the PC.
Thank you so much for reading!
TL;DR - Gamestream multi controller support doesn't function at all, no controller input will go through. Moonlight only supports 3 controllers, but for some reason not 4. Using Shield Gamepad + Xbox 360 Controllers.
Anybody know the solution? I'm still running into issues with this

when you start a stream, as soon as the game starts, hold the Play/Pause button. A new menu will pop up and on the right side is a 3-dot menu. Select "multi-controller" enabled. You have to do this with each stream.
I just bought a 2nd Shield controller a couple days ago, and through my adventures trying to get multiplayer in gamestream i stumbled on this menu. Don't know why nvidia "hid" it in a menu rather than having a giant button on the screen or something.

The weird thing is that whenever I try that, controller inputs on Gamestream stop working entirely.
I guess that's partially irrelevant now though. My Gamestream app has decided to stop working entirely (claims my PC is asleep when it's not). I now use moonlight for all my Gamstreaming purposes, but am still running into issues with the 3 controller cap.
I have a MOGA pocket bluetooth controller somewhere , but it's nowhere near as nice as the nvidia shield controller. I have sideloaded a couple apps that want to use a moga controller , and while I'm sure I could attach a moga controller to the Shield Android TV, it seems ridiculous to have to do that when a superior controller exists as standard. Some games (I own the Need for speed game) only allow touch, motion, or moga.. and it would not allow me to use the shield controller. Anyone got any ideas? there are apps that make the moga work on games not made for it, but I've yet to find a way for the shield controller to pretend to be a MOGA
This would be very useful for what i need it for too, i want to play NOVA 3 and it has moga support and sort of recognises the shiled controller as moga wierdly, but again the issue with the right analog stick being a mouse and not being able to map the buttons. So the app to make shield tv think shield controller is MOGA would work for a lot of games we otherwise would not be able to play. very useful
is there anywhere I should request such a thing be made? I mean, I can't donate toward it right now... but I'd be interested in proving there is interest for such a feature or app made available to shield devices.
Yeah I think it has to do with the Shield being Wi-Fi direct instead of Bluetooth. Im pretty sure someone could hack it via root.
I am trying to get a 4th controller to work on reicast for my NVidia Shield TV. I am trying to add it through the input screen where controllers can be configured. First three controllers work. Every time I try to add a 4th controller manually, reicast crashes.
This has happened on the play store version as well as the newer version r7. I am using three android gamepads connected via blue tooth and one wired Xbox 360 controller. Each controller works when it is assigned to controller 1 to 3. Any time I try to manually add one as a 4th controller, it crashes. Would appreciate if anyone has already dealt with this problem before and how to fix? I want to play 4 player Power Stone 2!
