Unable to use wired gamepad! - Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 Questions & Answers

My Zenfone max pro m1 recognises USB drives like thumb drives and a 1TB HDD no problem and also my wireless keyboard mouse combo but it just doesn't seem to recognise my generic wired gamepad, no power when I press the analog switch no red led. I was planning to try out PUBG mobile using gamepad through the Octopus app, unfortunately to my surprise it was not able to detect my device, on the other hand it easily detected my mouse and keyboard and I was able to use them to play PUBG. However it's not about PUBG it's more about me now not being able to use my gamepad for PPSSPP ?

I could be due to many reasons.
Firstly tell me this does your mobile detect the wired gamepad as a peripheral device connection?
Check in settings > connected devices.
If not, then test out if a wired keyboard gets connected to you mobile. If the keyboard does get connected and your wired gamepad doesn't, it means your wired gamepad isn't compatible.
Keep in mind this troubleshooting is between your mobile and peripheral devices..
Octopus app connection comes later.

It seems to be all zenfone MPM1 users have the same issue. Wirless gamepads works as usual but not wired gamepad.

No my device simply DOES NOT detect my wired gamepad. It detects my keyboard and mouse no problem, also much power hogging 1TB HDD but I'm having no luck with my gamepad. The gamepad works fine with other phones and my laptop.

That is what I'm telling you my brother, mobile not detecting wired gamepad alone. But the rest works well.

Wired controller not working in zenfone mpm1
I have gamesir g3w wired controller, it works just fine in my zenfone 3 lazer, but not in my MPM1. Therfore i conclude that Zenfone max pro m1 doesnt support wired controller. Please include fixing this in your nxt update. there are lots of advantage in using wired controller, thats why some user choosing it..

Same ISSUE
I am also facing same issue bro
Wired Mouse and Pendrive trough USB OTG gets detected thought it prompts for reverse charging alert
Same alert is shown while connecting my Game-Pad but it does not show any response and not detected in Octopus app too.
Kindly Requesting Asus to fix this issue ASAP

[Q]PS3 Controller on 3.1

Hi updated my tab with the official update.zip found here and now i'm under 3.1, but if i connect my PS3 pads they just charge and i can't get them to work with Snesoid or in the homescreens like i saw in a bunch of videos from Xoom and Transformers.
There's a workaround or the A500 version of 3.1 lacks of this feature (it would be very disappointing)?

i have the same problem
or they use a third part things to make them able to play...
Did you go into Settings _> Language & Input -> Keyboard Settings ->
Configure Input Devices and turn on the PS3 Controller
then back and
Current Input Method and choose the PS3 controller
I know I have to do something similar for the WiiControllerIME

Thanks, but no luck, it doesn't see the controller. I think i'll mail Acer to ask about this.
EDIT: just tried a wireless mouse, it works like a charm. I think they have dropped the controller drivers

i plan to try my madcatz ps3 fightpad tonight, it's wireless with a dongle.
if i remember correctly, 3.1's gamepad support is for usb hid gamepads. the bluetooth ps3 pads may require a bit more to just work.
But i connected it via USB, not with bluetooth. I dont have different pads, just 2 PS3 ones, but i dont understand why on Xoom and Transformers they works and on A500 not.
I could be wrong, but pretty sure using the USB cord with factory ps3 controllers does not make them USB controllers! The USB is ONLY for charging ps3 controllers. They are bluetooth 100% of the time(mine are this way). And just as the way you use them with ps3, they must be synced to work.
My advice, just get a cheap USB controller, maybe even one for windows PC. They are usually around $5. Or find a knockoff ps3 controller found on many of the chinese sites for about the same money...should work till BT PS3 controller is sorted.

You're wrong. On windows they work with USB cable.
They work USB on PS3 too, for example when they are in charge or you enter in recovery mode.
More sixaxis and DS3 work with Xoom and Transformers (in a video the guy says: "you just need to connect and press the PS button").

Out of the box, the PS3 controllers are charge-only over USB. You have to use a third-party driver to use the PS3 controller over USB on a PC. The only console controller drivers built-in to Windows OS are for the XBox controllers (for obvious reasons).
Even on the PS3 system, if you plug the controller in to the USB ports while playing, it will use Bluetooth if it's available. If for some reason Bluetooth is not available then the PS3 will resort to USB as if it was a PS2 controller, but you won't have the full PS3 controller functionality (which is why Sony has it default to Bluetooth whenever possible).
But on Honeycomb 3.1 they probably embeded the driver because on the other 2 it works out of the box.
I have a retrolink USB nes game pad that I was going to try with Nesoid. The buttons work in menus and such, but the direction pad does not
The buttons don't seem to return any particular key press, so it doesn't seem mappable.

Just did some more testing with a few more USB devices I had laying around. My saitek joystick lets me navigate menus and button presses will do things like open programs, it doesn't seem to work in nesoid. I have an old nostromo n50 game pad, the kind you rest your left hand on. It works perfect with nesoid.

i have 3 sixaxis and 2 dual shocks and neither work. i'll try a third party ps3 nyko controller next i guess.

NO. The controller can work with bluetooth or with USB. There aren't charge only over USB.
OTG cable doesnt make a difference either-. Nio micro usb support. For my ps3 controller.
I want to know why on Transformers and Xoom the DS3 works...
no luck on nyko zero ps3 controller either, though its junk anyway.
i wish i had wired xbox 360 controllers but i only have those in wireless

When using a PS3 controller with a PS3 system, it will use bluetooth connectivity whenever possible. If for some reason a controller will not sync with the PS3, you can get it to connect over USB, but that's not the preferred/default method. You can easily see this to be true when you're playing a game while charging your controller via USB. Unplug the USB cable -- did your controller lose connectivity? No, because it was always connected via bluetooth. Otherwise, if it lost USB connectivity it would have to reconnect via bluetooth when you disconnected the cable.
As for the PS3 controller on other devices via USB or bluetooth, to the best of my knowledge every single device requires drivers. This includes Android v3.1 devices -- some of them just have the driver built-in to their ROM. Apparently, Acer did not include that.

[Q] ctrlr dongle doesn't work

Hello everybody yesterday i received my mojo. Console Works great but the control don't pair with the usb dongle in de mojo. PC and MAC recognise the usb but don´t pair..
However the control pairs perfect without using dongle in Galaxy s4, with the dongle don´t work. Any suggestion? There are any bt dongle compatible with mojo and ctrlr?
Thanks in advance. Regards!

If I understand you correctly, make sure the BT dongle included with the mojo is on the USB3 (blue) port.
Try turning BT on in android setup.. not sure why that would help, but just in case there's been an update..

If that didn't work, raise a support request with madcatz, probably a busted USB Dongle, (it should work fine on PC/android/ect, MAC i think might need drivers)
You can pair the mojo CTRLR to your galaxy without the dongle?? wow!
Man, I'm hoping it's a firmware fix coming
Also: There are any bt dongle compatible with mojo and ctrlr?
TMK, The dongle isn't actually BT, so I doubt there would be an alternative out there.

Yes, i plug the dongle on the USB3 of the mojo, but the controller doesn't pair.
Turning on the Bluetooth of the mojo doesn't detect the controller
in galaxy s4 with stock kitkat and without dongle the controller pair and works fine.
If i power off the bt on sgs4 and connect the dongle with otg USB phone detect new keyboard connected but controller doesn't pair.
Only pair without dongle and with bt 4.0 devices....... I'm confused.
Thanks for you answer man!

What model# is it?
My MOJO CTRLR is 32263 and my the retail CTRLR : 32266.
Maybe different firmware, I would raise a ticket with Madcatz, with a link to this thread.
"If i power off the bt on sgs4 and connect the dongle with otg USB phone detect new keyboard connected but controller doesn't pair."
Is that with the MOJO dongle, it works with a BT4 keyboard?
I hope it's a new firmware release for both CTRLR and MOJO :fingers-crossed:
Does the blue light come on the CTRLR?
Try holding down the start button for a few seconds, the light should go red'ish then try to repair.
That's very strange, did you check that both USB ports on the MOJO work?
I'm guessing it's a firmware issue or a dongle issue.

My dongle model is the same.. strange that it still works on PC/Mac (loading drivers) :/ dont know sorry...
Even with a BT4 USB adaptor, I doubt it would work on the MOJO because android 4.3 doesn't support BT4.
Raise a support ticket on the madcatz site.
that's a bummer, hope you get it fixed soo.
Same Problem here, Mojo paired with my phone but not with the controller. But the Controller works fine with my Nexus 5.
Same problem here. MOJO support doesn't seem to be much help other than disconnect it and reconnect but I can't even get it to pair. Anyone found resolution for this?
I also have the same problem, would installing a lower firmware help?, mine came with the 4k res and ouya update out of box, if I install lower firmware would that solve my dongle problem?
Thanks

No, don't bother.
FYI: @Coolin82 @rmraiden
TMK, the only thing you can do is install the lollypop custom rom, it doesn't need the dongle and pairs fine without it.
See the development forum.
Wow! That's really strange, I use the dongle on my PC(linux/XP) and mojo.. never had issues it, it just works.
Mine is now working. Mad Catz RMA'd my controller and sent me the new CTRL that doesn't require a dongle. Gaming is so much better now!! :laugh:
Oh nice, you got a retail version.. it has BT2 and BT4 that's why you don't need the dongle.
any solution ?

What kind of mouse do I need to root my Shield TV?

So, I have the version of the Shield TV that doesn't have the rechargeable controller, and the cord to charge it with. So, I need to figure out a way to select options since neither my controller or my logitech wireless mouse work when in fastboot mode, recommendations are appreciated.
If you don't want to buy yourself a wired mouse for super cheap, just borrow one from a friend/acquaintance. You can get one at Wal-Mart for less than $5... Having a functional wired mouse and keyboard around is always a good idea when you're tinkering with computers, devices, etc.
P.s. I use an older Microsoft Laser Light wired mouse from my older Windows 7 desktop PC for all my wired mouse needs. Works perfectly every time and with every device for me.

I'd just about imagine any traditional standard USB wired mouse will work just fine for the SHIELD TV. As long as the wired mouse itself is functioning as it's supposed to and can perform its primary/core functions of acting as an input device for pointing/moving the cursor around on the display, and of course, allowing one to click/select on-screen objects with the mouse button(s), you're gonna be in good shape.
I'd say it's probably a safe bet that practically any USB connected wired mouse is gonna give you the core functionalities with almost any compatible device nowadays(devices which can accept a mouse as an input device).
Hmmm.. This kinda got me wonderin out of my own curiosity now. One thing somewhat related to your topic is that I'm a little unsure about the ability to use, for example, a USB-C wired mouse and needing to attach some kinda converter type dongle thing to the existing USB-C connector, which would then convert the USB-C connection into a traditional USB type plug. I wonder if using converters in that way would be supported as well?

Joystick not working

Hi brothers,
Zenfone max pro m1 does not recognise the joystick controller which works with other mobiles. Tried changing the OTG cable yet not working.
Anyone have overcome this issue? Any fix?
Joystick? Do you mean gamepad controller?
I use this Bluetooth gamepad controller and it works for me. Even the wired mouse and wired keyboard connects to my Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1.
I also tried using wired Xbox controller and doesn't work
So, better have to choose bluetooth instead of wired. Thanks stonespider
I have same problem
Wired gamepad doesn't get recognized as a peripheral device on the mobile. It won't work.
The gamepad can be connected via Bluetooth and will work 100% on the games that support controllers.

Usb Joystick Support

Excuse me if my English is unfortunate, I'm Argentine and I have to use Google Translate to talk to you.
Directly to the point, our Moto G5 plus or at least mine, is not compatible with the USB joystick, something similar to what happened with the Moto e2 LTE, but for the latter there was a kernel that allowed the use of USB Joystick:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e-2015/orig-development/kernel-srfarias-uberdt2wl-2016-04-27-t3366997
My question is this: is there any kernel or rom that enables the use of USB joystick?
I'm using AEX Pie rom and I can confirm my otg wireless dongle connects to my Xbox style controller and can play asphalt.
I'm pretty sure I have used it on my stock ROM while it was Android Nougat.

Yes, I understand that it is compatible with the wireless controls that are connected by a USB dongle, the problem arises when a USB Joystick is connected through otg, it is compatible with the mouse / keyboard but it is not compatible with the USB Joystick
It's as if I had not sent enough power to the USB joystick.
And it's not my joystick or my OTG since I connect it to a J5 prime and it works correctly
I must add that it is not my Moto g5 plus either, since it is the second one I own and in none there was support for the USB joystick
I found the same thing with my device and USB joysticks. They would power on, meaning the lights on the joystick would turn on, but no input would be detected.
I could only get Bluetooth joysticks to work.

Hey, use octopus app, it available on play store , it should solve your problem, as the app is made for to use joy stock and other outputs. Give it a try i think it will work.
