I have a PS2 controller that i connect trough an adapter to convert the PS2 port to USB, then i connect the USB Male to a Hub that i connect to the Female USB connected to my Galaxy Nexus... a little bit confusing...
Is necesary to connect the controller in this way, because if i connect it directly trough the microUSB to USB adapter it doesn't work, i don't know why.
The problem start when i try to play games, because it looks like the system detects the x axis is stuck! I try it with 2 controllers that i use regularly with the PS2.
I tested the controller with Shadowgun and Riptide, and both games are having problems... with Shadowgun the character is stuck in a circular movement that doesn't allow me to play, and Riptide seems to work fine, but when the character jumps just a little, it falls inmediately because he tries to make a stunt.
The problem doesn't stops there, because i'm not able to play Shadowgun until i reboot, because the character continues his circular movement, despite the fact that the controller isn't connected.
For the moment i don't have any games to try, but i know the controller works well, because i used it several times with a Toshiba Thrive without problems.
I'm using AOKP 37 + 3.0.8 - GlaDOS-v1.34.
Any help or suggestion would be very appreciated!

If you have a ps3 controller with cyanogenmod I know you can pair it using sixaxis controller app. But it costs $ on the market. At $60 retail you may be better off picking one up at a gaming store, eBay or Craig's list
Galaxy Nexus, enough said
I know the PS3 controller works, but since i don't have one, and i do have a PS2 controller with all the cables/adapters/connectors, i think it worths the try. Besides, the PS2 controller worked for me with Honeycomb! The only difference between the Toshiba Thrive and the Galaxy Nexus is the full USB port in the Thrive.
Ok, i tried it with GTA 3 and the character is spinning to the left...
I think maybe it could be the Hub, but i tried it with my PC and there's nothing wrong with it.
I was wondering why i need to plug the controller trough a Hub instead of plugging it directly to the Female USB? If i do it that way the controller is not detected at all!
C'mon, nobody have any clue about this issue?!
I'm going to try if it works using a Stock Rom of Ice Cream Sandwich without a custom kernel.
Again, your help is truly appreciated!

Ok, i was trying to get results with other Roms but i got the same results...
I installed the stock ICS 4.0.4 without Rooting nor Recovery, but i got the same results...
How can't anyone have a clue about this issue?!
I realized that when i try to set a button of the PS2 controller in Shadowgun, no matters what button i try to set, the Joystick Axis 3+ button appears.... and actually thats the one stucked...
Please! Any help?
I am trying to use the ATRIX dock which works great but i am having issues getting the keyboard and mouse on the unit to work. I dont understand it should just be able to be recognized like any other usb mouse and keyboard.. i am under CM7. Is there a special kernel or something...or even a rom that can do this?
Hey dudes,
I have a wired 360 controller and tried plugging it into my note 8.All I get is a blinking green circle on the controller and nothing on the note. Anyone know how to get it working? I'm using an OTG micro to usb cable.

I thought that although the PS3 controler is plug and play with andoid, the 360 controller is not, or at least not very easily set up.
I use my PS3 controller both as a plug and play controller and as a bluetooth controller (when I can be bothered to set it up, loading the address into it can be a bit of a pain since I use it with my PS3 as well).
So I've connected USB sticks and mice to my N5 via OTG able and both worked fine but when I try with a ps3 or Xbox controller it just won't work.
I can't find any guides on how to do this, with similar devises like the N7 they just plugging it in press the PS button and it works..
I've tried the USB/BT JoystickCentre app and it recognised that the controller was plugged in I went to language/input and changed it to gamepad and it still wouldn't work please help.
Also rooting my device is not an option and if I'm posting in the wrong spot sorry I'm new, thank you
Hello guys,
I can't get my PS3 Gamepad to work fully with my Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 3G Version. I have an OTG cable and a standart USB cable. The tablet is recognizing the OTG cable, but when I connect the controller and hit the PS button just the digital navigation buttons are working. I can hit X O square and what ever I want, no button is working.
The device is not rooted and it's running on the latest OTA update.
Greetings
Eric
I'm not using a wired controller. You can use a wireless controller with the Sixaxis app on the play store though. That's what working for me right now.

Note 8 might not be supporting game controllers natively fully by itself, It did not work with my 360 wired controller either , however using an app from play store made it work (no root required).
try the USB/BT joystick center app demo from play store and see if that it works for you.
