That one works on Android too. So does a lot of others, including Wii controllers, Xbox controllers, PS3 controllers, etc.
I use an Xbox360 controller on my Galaxy Tab, and a Phonejoy controller (which is made for Android) on my S II. Use it with a DIY S II holder I made for it:
that is an 'icontrolpad' and can be used for our sgs2

yes i know this, i owned this one some months ago, and let me say: DON'T BUY IT
it's only cheap plastik. yes, there is an adapter for quite all phone models, but it's very unconfortable, buy a psp if you want to play seriously on the road.
if you are only a casual gamer, virtual touch controls are enough, and on the beautifull touch screen of gs2 it's better than crappy physical controls.
listen to me: for casual gaming use touch controls on your phone, for REAL GAMING there are pc-ps3-xbox-wii, in the middle psp-nds (for kids)
Anyone tested OnLive controler ???
It looks like great to use because the phone is attached to the joypad but i think it is quitte uggly.

I use the PC wireless adapter plugged into my Gaalxy Tab 7.0 Plus via USB. USB/BT Joystick Center for the setup, and through root and the joystick2touch setup it gives compatibility with pretty much any game that has touch buttons.
How do you do it mate ? Can you please explain this step by step ?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
This is sort of the thing that you shouldn't be doing if you can't read your way to how to do it on yourself, simply because there are so many different ways it can not work, but ok. You install USB/BT Joystick Center, and if you have root, the joy2touch addon. You make sure you've enabled USB/BT's USBjoyIME fake keyboard in input settings of your device, start the app, and plug in your x360 wireless adapter via USB. You give it permission to use the USB input, swithc to the USBjoyIME "keyboard", turn on the xbox controller, pair it the way you pair those controllers, select the controller in the app. Test that buttons show up, and that's it for non-root setup. You then program buttons normally in whatever app you use. If you have root, you can start the touch addon from within the main app, and when in-game, hold 4 fingers on the screen to enter touch edit mode. You then press a button and click on the screen where you want it to go. That programs it to send the device fake touchscreen input data when you press the button
Note that I do this on a Galaxy tab, not the S II. I just mentioned it in passing and actually use a phonejoy on my s ii
Thanks mate ..i am gonna try this once i am free.

nice
Have you guys tried the sixaxis app with a ps3 controller? It lets you setup 'touch profiles' where you can map the buttons to anywhere on your screen. You can virtually play any game with it, but works the best with emulators.

That question suggests you're not really aware of how game controllers function on Android...which is perfectly understandable. I'm working on a guide to game controllers on Android that will be done tomorrow or so, it should help clear up a few things
I have the iControlPad (OP's post) and I can say that it works beautifully with my S2.
I had to drill a hole in the retainer clip in order to make it hold my phone+case (It will hold a caseless i9100 without issue otherwise), but other than that it is a wonderful piece of hardware. Makes playing the Kairosoft games a breeze!

OMG! I LOVE THIS PHONE even more. Tonight I was able to connect my Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and Rocksoul Bluetooth Mouse and am now doing my homework on my new tablet computer! Our Galaxy S2 really is an amazing device. Not only is it a sick phone, it allows us to have a personal computer in our hands ready to do whatever work we need at anytime.
This phone's value just went UP in my book. I got my Apple Silver Wireless Keyboard for 65.00 & currently use it with my Mac Mini.
The Rocksoul silver mouse set me back 25.00 tonight at Microcenter. I'm sure there may be cheaper alternatives however I can confirm both work very well and complement the phone very well.
Any questions please ask....by the way I posted this from my Apple keyboard!
The only caveat is that the phone allowed me to pair 2 devices at once. I had to unpair my bluetooth earpiece to get my mouse to pair up.
I'm sure there's a work around out there...for now I'm happy I'm able to do my homework on my phone it doesn't matter
HDMI to mini USB Cable works with this as well! So now I'm using my 32" HDTV as my computer mononitor...
Anyone who is on the fence about this phone now has another reason to be sold

Now, we need a keyboard app that once installed and selected, the on-screen keyboard will stay hidden. i remember back in the days before Android, with my Windows PDA, they had a small keyboard program that when activated will prevent the on screen keyboard from popping up when you needed to type.
It seems something like that should be out there in the market. i havent found it though.
Edit: i think i found one -

It does exactly what i asked. theres a free version also.
Hi all,
Really enjoying my first Android device here. I want to keep exploring the capabilities of what this phone possesses. Can anyone recommend that best emulators for SNES, Gameboy, PS1, Nintendo DS etc? Are any of them confirmed working for our device?
Please do not speak of roms. I just want to know what the best emulators are on the Play store, or possibly off of it that will work with our device.
Thanks
I'm pretty sure they all work I cannot confirm snes as I personally hate it but n64oid by far the best n64 emulator ice used has built in cheats specifically for the roms u load into it.

Robert Broglia makes some awesome emulators for Android and iOS
Click here to get to his Google Play page. For his SNES emulator here is a direct link CLICK ME. His SNES emulator is his only free one at the moment. If I am not mistaking, it is not in Google Play due to some problem with Google not understanding he is legally permitted to distribute the emulator. I highly recommend Robert's emulators.
As for Nintendo DS, I do not know if there is a fully functional one on Android yet. I have seen some apk floating around the net, but most users reported it being unplayable. PS1, there are a few in the Play Store, but I can not recommend one or the other as I have not used them.
Another vote for Broglia's apps. They are top notch.
Yongzh is awesome. I use gameboid, gbcoid, and n64oid. They're all available on slideme.org.
The only one he's charging for is n64oid and it works on a handful of games. Although we haven't seen an update in a bit of time. His work was on the android market but it was all removed by Google and he lost interest in updating everything.
Really hope a nds emulator comes out soon! Well, one that works well. Handheld consoles are the only ones that work great on phones Imo.
Anyone using a wiimote for these

also, combine this with Wii Controller (using the Datel bluetooth wireless retro controller) and MHL (to HDMI TV adapter) and you've got a portable gaming machine. nothing like playing Metal Gear Solid wirelessly on the big screen.

Trying to get my hands on the white Nyko, but so far release date was moved to 11/15/2012. Can't say that in all my time searching I found much of a smaller one. There is one on Kickstarter that is pretty small and fits as a keychain, but the problem is that the games have to SUPPORT the controller. So far, Nyko is the only controller I've seen that wont require this since it will have the options to customize touchpad, button control, etc. to the controller itself. IMO wait for the Nyko controller. The black Nyko is out right now.

not small and may not be cheap depending on what you may already have.
PS3 controller and a Gameklip - hard core awesome.
you can also use a USB PS3 controller or Xbox USB controller (native support IIRC) get a used one and chop the cable to short it with a $2 ebay OTG cable.

Well I managed to get the play pad pro a few weeks ago at a GameStop nearby and I gotta say its a solid controller but the compatibility isn't that great...it will work for emulators and games meant for gamepads like dead trigger but a ps3 controller u can map the touch screen to gamepad...a feature that nyko says will be in the future updates of their app. Their app as of now sucks but the controller has some dev potential ...honestly though I kinda wish I went with a ps3 controller where the dev is already here

You may find a right one from here http://dx.com/s/gamepad . After reading lots of review, I got this one http://dx.com/p/2-4ghz-wireless-dual-shock-joypad-controller-gamepad-for-pc-3-aaa-44217?item=14 . It's cheap and high quality. I have it for at least half a year. kids play with it a lot, without any problem.
Robust enough so it does not break. feels also heavy enough in your hands to give good user experience.
not need to install the driver - Plug and play worked on Win 7.
identical to brand-named joypads.
Thanks! Do you know if the regular playpad works the same way?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Just saw this on ebay.
Looks an awful lot like the Gametel with 2 analogs and a better dpad.
I quite like my phonejoy, though for some reason, the price has gone up (by $15) since I bought mine.
That's because shipping cost is now included I think.
I still wonder what I'm going to buy. I already got the Gametel but it feels cheap and really lack precision.
I play a lot of emulators and need something great for fighting games.
I don't feel really confident about Sony gamepad.
Their Dpad wasn't good back in the days, hard to make 2x quarter circle and stuff like that, but I never tried a PS3 controller though (are they really different from PS1 / PS2?).
I like the Logitech Dpad you can find on old RumblepadII and the F310-710 series.
But compatibility seems to be not that great from what I could find (few infos) and using the usb port (need to charge? stop playing ).
Phonejoy Dpad is great? you play fighting games?
this is pretty sweet i think im gonna buy one
Since I don't play often, and when I do it's just emulator stuff, I just use my Wiimote.

Assuming you have an android phone as well you could try this app it works for me I use it with nesoid and n64oid and believe it should work with gta and sonic it turns your phone into a bluetooth controller for use with a tablet or another phone as the host. Heres the link to the free version which I am using I am thinking of getting the full version so I can have other controller layouts. Full version is a $1.10 aus.

This. You need the OTG adapter + MiniUSB cable to pair it though (but once paired you dont need the adapter, it'll remember the pairing) I dont do a lot of gaming but when using it, it's been quick and responsive. (it does require root - and remember to change the input method after its paired and change back when your done or the onscreen KB wont show up)

You don't have to change the input method. You just have to select "Enable Gamepad" under Preferences -> Gamepad Settings. The gamepad buttons will work as long as the checkbox for "Sixaxis Controller" under "Language and input" in "System Settings" is checked. Pressing the start button will act as the home button even if you have the Samsung Keyboard set as the main IME.

I didn't realise that, I've been selecting it each time I use my controller. I only use it to play modern combat upto now. Tried playing gta vice City but the button configuration isn't that good.
I made 2 of these one for home and one for office. This is a great start for someone that's wants this feature for cheap and not have to pay 20 $ minimum for any stand like this.
Needed:
3 big Boston clips
2 smaller Boston clips
1 bunch of zip ties
I put tubing over the handles to keep from scratching controller and phone.
Also you will notice I used a very small diameter but strong yellow twine.
Try it or something just as ghetto and post pictures here.

Haha I thought about doing something like this a while ago. But I don't use my phone to game enough. Nice work though.

Holy crap that's genius! Do you know how long it lasts over the long term?

Forever as long as the zip ties don't break. I've been using it everyday for 6 months or so. No issues yet
I know a quick google search likely would find me the answer, but Ithought maybe it might be thread related to ask here anyways...
So the controller... it works? Meaning, how... bluetooth? Only PS controllers, or XBOX too?

I use an app called six axis controller. I downloaded it on the Internet. You can make touch profiles for different games. Yes it works with bluetooth. Not sure if they have something similar for xbox as I don't have an xbox. Works awesome though. Flawless

They don't have one for xbox because it uses proprietary micro$oft wireless. You can't even use them on Windows without buying a special wireless adapter. Can't even use it through USB.
Six axis controller app works great though for ps3 controllers. Been using it for quite a while myself. I think they make mini USB to micro USB cables and you can just plug and play, no root or app required. But then I suppose the game itself would need gamepad support.

I still have both controller stands I made and they both function perfect. So to answer your question yes or lasts as long as you want it to. I use mine for about 40 hours a month I calculated. Dang that's allot of modem combat 4. I blow people's heads of constantly using this phone controller setup only. I love it.

Your welcome. I made 2 of them (1 for home and 1 for work) and I use them everyday since before this thread was made. I love it. My screen name for modern combat zero hour is I_KUMSHOT_UR_FACE. If you play multi player look me up and send me a friend's request and a message in game letting me know your from xda. I love to shoot the brains out and onto the wall behind them. Lol.
Oh and make sure you hit that Thanks button please
Bump bump bump it up!
