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.
gplus.to/hartley add me, let's play some games.
I had an Ipega, it wasn't great. Really want to try a Moga but they're still too expensive in the UK.
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.
I have already ordered a TN7 on amazon. Despite being over a year old it has an extreme value for money at 9000rupees.(150$). I want to play games with my dualshock 4 on the tab. So–
1. Can my ds4 connect to TN7 by sixaxis app or usb otg?
2.If yes, then will sony game control mount and nyko smart clip for ds4 fit the tab?
3.If both fits, then which one is better in reliability and ease of use?
The sixaxis app is supposed to support Dualshock 4 controllers now but I don't know if it will work with the TN7. The TN7 has had issues pairing with PS3 controllers over bluetooth in the past so I would be weary of PS4 controller support though I was able to finally get my PS3 controller to pair last night. It should however work using OTG, my PS3 controller always did.
After look at them I don't think either of those mounts are going to work. The Sony uses a suction cup and the back of the TN7 is textured so I can't see that working. The nyko is listed as being for phones up to 3.5" wide and the TN7 is 4.75". Some people in the comments have said it fits 7" and 8" tablets but others say it doesn't so there is no guarantee that it will work.

I tried using a otg cable but it's like kind of a hit or miss thing. It sometimes connects and works well. Sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it disconnects. Same happens to flash drives.
Does it works well on your tegra note?
I have never had an issue with flash drives or controllers connecting on mine. Maybe your OTG cable is defective.
Yeah. That might be the case. Can you post a link to the cable you use?(if you've bought it online)

is it worth swapping the controller for xbox 360 joypads for multiplayer./games
i have a fire tv remote im using for general navigation
I am interested in this too. How good are they compared to the shields, do they cover all functionality?
Can you play multiplayer games with two shield controllers? I haven't had any luck
I've had my Fire TV for almost a year and love it. I currently have an Ouya and a Logitech F710 controller. For the most part, they work well, but some games have compatibility issues with each controller. Such as Deux Ex. Neither controller will work with it. I'm thinking of getting an official Amazon controller, but then I've also heard great things about the Nyko Playpad Pro. I'm wondering if it is 100% compatible with games, or if it too has issues with certain games. Can someone with one chime in and let me know.
