I've recently purchased the excellent SmartGear and what with the Touch Pro 2's TV out would like to have myself a little retro action by playing on MegaDrive classics on my TV.
However, this would mean holding the phone, and cable, while playing, which isn't as much fun.
Does anyone know if any bluetooth games controllers work? I've looked and PS3 and Wii controllers don't seem to, but can anyone recommend one at all, or know if the ENR one works http://www.mobile-review.com/pda/review/bt-gamepad-en.shtml
I know that the Broadcomm stack is acausing problems but hope it's not going to ruin this plan.
Thanks
Is the SixAxis app compatible with the Note? The SixAxis Compatibility Checker force closes on mine. I don't actually have a SixAxis controller, but I'm planning to buy one if it works.
Also, which controller to buy? Will a Wireless PS2 Controller work? or just the PS3 Controller? How about an XBox Wireless Controller?
Another thing: how do you keep your notes "standing" in landscape? I saw several docks, but all of them are on portrait mode.
Thanks in advance guys~!
+1 for all question.
Sixaxis works great with my ps3 controller.
XBox360 Controller dont use bluetooth so they would not work.
Xbox Controller might work once ICS is out, using the OTG adapter.
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.

I want to buy a BT gaming controller. I read good reviews about moga pro power. heard that G910 gamepad controller is better than moga. Anyone has bought it?
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00EM64TKU
I use the Moga Hero, replacement to the original Moga Pocket... its a smaller version of the Moga Pro Power. It works great, very happy with mine. Bought it for $39 about a month ago. I have never heard of the G910. Remember though Moga has their pivot app to make games easily playable without mapping to the controller.
Here is what I use:
http://www.amazon.com/POWER-MOGA-Hero-Electronic-Games-Game/dp/B00FB5R9OY
That controller looks good and should work with games with native gamepad support. The Moga has a lot more support though and works with some games that don't have native gamepad support.
I am interested in purchasing an iPega. I want to replace my Moga Pocket that looks great but doesn't work with enough games for me. Anyway, I'd like to know if the iPega is a quality choice, plus I really want a controller with a phone holder built in. I noticed on Amazon, they carry the 9023 which puts your device between the pads, and the 9025 which puts your device above the pad. I'm really diggin' the 9023.
Main questions:
With a non rooted Verizon Note 4 Edge, will I be able to use the iPega to play standard Playstore games or is this kind of controller meant mostly for emulated games?
Does the game developer decide whether a controller will work or is the iPega software built to work with ANY game? (Again, I have no root, and no root in sight).
Thank you!
