Can you use wii mote or ps3 controllers on this phone at all? thx
Would games work with a USB controller? Like this one? Also if I buy a micro OTG cable with it?
That OTG cable is suitable for the purpose. I do not know whether that Logitech controller works with many games, I suppose it does, but your best bet is PS3 Sixaxis controller
For example GTA III has native, full support for Sixaxis. It has been built with Sixaxis in mind.

I have a sixaxis controller, do I turn on blutooth on the galaxy nexus and it would recognize the controller? I cant figure out how to connect them both

You need the sixaxis contoller app from the market. Make sure you read the instructions because there are more instructions for you to get it going and paired.
Crazy world, ay?
Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich Can Turn Your Galaxy Nexus Into A Video Game Console
http://phandroid.com/2011/10/21/and...-your-galaxy-nexus-into-a-video-game-console/
Hello,
I am so impressed by how well the Nexus 7 handles gaming specially N64 emulation that I want to use a game controller and it sems there are a few options.
Firstly, I am familiar with using a PS3 controller via the OTG cable unrooted and also with Sixaxis once rooted and the option to map the buttons for touch screen only games which looks brilliant.
My big hands prefer xbox controllers so I wondered what options there are for xbox controllers in a similar environment? I'd rather not use it wired but if that was the only drawback opposed to PS3 and Sixaxis then I'd live with it..
But what gamepad solutions are there for playing Android games and Retro emulators?
Thanks
The sixaxis is your best bet. I was in the exact same situation, wanted an Xbox controller but didn't want it wired. Problem with that is Microsoft uses 2.4ghz which the nexus 7 doesn't have built in. The sixaxis is Bluetooth so it connects fine and I've never had a problem with it on any device I've used it on as a gamepad.

It is unfortunate that the device needs to be rooted for sixaxis to work, right?
I have large hands as well, but I only have wireless Xbox controllers and when I tried using the wireless PC kit on a tablet (Cube U30GT with Android 4.1), it got recognized in the home screen, but no game was able to use it. I didn't want to purchase a cable Xbox controller just for use with Android. So I got a PS3 controller which works well as you described. I have no problem playing games with it (Dead Trigger, Shadow Gun, GTA, Max Payne, SNES Emulators so far). Playing older games with the PS3 controller is better than with an Xbox controller in my opinion, because the Xbox controller has a rubbish D-Pad, which SNES games use a lot. Remapping touch controls to the PS3 with Sixaxis Controller app is fairly good and easy, once you get the hang of it.
If you don't care about the cable and have one laying around, an Xbox 360 controller should work, at least I've seen a lot of people use one with their android devices.
There are a lot of custom controllers for android devices, most of which use bluetooth. But they are either more expansive than Xbox/PS3 or not very well built in my opinion.

Hi,
I'm wanting a good game controller for use with game emulation. I have connected my PS3 controller by Bluetooth but it cant be used at the same time as the firetv remote.
Can anyone recommend me a good one? I don't mind wired controller, just want a plug and play solution
Thanks
Hard Candy controllers are great and they are plug and play. Plus they take regular batteries so you don't have to worry about charging yur controller. I personally hate the idea of a rechargable controller.
I'm using the Logitech f710 controller which comes with a usb Wi-Fi dongle, seems to work fine on the games I've tested so far.
Hey everyone I am searching for Gamepad for my samsung note 2.
I was thinking of buying the ipega ii IPEGA-9025 gamepad controller.
Here is the link of the ipega gamepad
http://www.amazon.in/gp/aw/d/B00IP6...ords=ipega&dpPl=1&dpID=41ERIFdaaUL&ref=plSrch
is this a good one and does it plays majority of games like moga?
any advice on this thanks
I use sixaxis controller + PS3 controller + gameklip as my gamepad. With the controller app, I was able to play most games and if it's not supported, I can use the game profile feature and set it myself.
