GamePad Recommendation

I have a rooted GS3 running stock ROM, android v 4.1.1 and I'm looking for a gamepad for a long time.
The gamepad MUST be attachable to the phone in some way (for example the steelseries controller is just a controller, it can't attach to the phone).
I'm going to use it mostly for emulators, but it would be nice if it could play GTA3, #Sworcery, Another World and Bard's Tale (don't care too much if it doesn't).
I also want it to be compatible with a PC, and have 2 analog sticks.
The best one I could find is PhoneJoy, but I can't find where to buy/order one since the kickstarter ended.
I've also read very good stuff about the Gametel, but unfortunately it lacks analog sticks. I wouldn't mind too much, since the play station one doesn't really need analogs, but since I plan on using it on my pc also, most modern games use both analogs...
The one I wanted to buy is the Moga Pro, but the shipping to Europe is ridiculous (70$ for shipping and 50$ for the controller, more than the controller itself just to carry it on a damn plane!?). Also, it's not confirmed to work with a PC, and has some issues with non market games (my version of Another World and #Sworcery is from Humble Bundle, not Google Play)
My other option is to wait for Samsung's gamepad, after the launch of GS4, but it costs 110$, which may very well translate to 100€, an amount I consider not worth it for any kind of controller.
There is also the iPega controller, but I know it has issues, as well as lag, and other controllers that even though they are good, they have nothing to attach the phone to (steelseries free, evolution drone, Nyko Gamepad).
I also do not own a PS3 and don't want to buy a controller for 50€ and then pay another 40$ for the gameklip (cause of shipping costs).
Any ideas?
PS Sorry for no links, I can't, new user.

I use the Moga game pad (not the new pro gamer one) and its perfect for my needs. I use it with GBA,SNES,Genesis,Etc emulators.... it also works good with most other games I tried... but the unofficial moga universal driver is a must. Makes the G SIII a great hand held system. I got mine from amazon for about 30 dollars USD.

Just received the new MOGA Pro and as a previous user of the Moga Pocket I can say the PRO is awesome and way better! More like an xbox 360 controller with additional joystick...l2 r2 triggers....l3 r3 clickable joysticks...feels fantastic in hand...light. Has two modes A and B with B eliminating need for the Moga driver app to use for emulators. Best part is it is rechargeable!! The only Con is sticking it in my pocket lol...it is big. Hence why the older smaller controller is now called MOGA pocket.

Yes i did get "a2w measy" but i wasn't happy with the quality of the picture and lags so i have send it back for a refund.
Picture looked like it was "bad quality movie" even thou it was 1080p. It is brilliant idea but need some more work on it.

I've used it on official MK9 4.3 rom to LG smart tv, picture quality was very good but it had around a 1 second lag which made it awful to use.

Actually after a LOT of reading and browsing.... I realized, that miracast is not working as it was the idea on the paper! It is just not ready for prime time...pretty similiar to Bluetooth in the beginings.
A lot of devices are not compatible with a lot of dongles. There is a lot of chinese cheap 20-30usd devices on the market, that according to sellers should support miracast, but that is more often then not not the case at all. And when someone succeeds to connect the dongle with the phone, it does not work very good at all for video casting...audio is often out of sync and video stutters and is choppy...and that is when it works at all.
So my advice to everybody is to get a TV stick/box with Android, for 50$....it will be much easy to setup for casting..and a lot more powerfull, espacially because it could do a lot of extra stuff...

Yes I was thinking of buying it too but for me it would be so much easier to use my phone to navigate to where I want with miracast. I have tried to connect my phone to tv and use my tablet to navigate with all sorts of "remotes" from play store and it just wasn't comfortable enough to buy an android dongle.I guess i just need to wait until they will perfect miracast technology I don't mind small lags but picture quality with the compression it use is not good enough on 55 inch tv

Should I buy or get a blocked Galaxy s3?

So my mate has offered me a blocked s3 for 50quid and the idea of o mhl cable and using my move pro for gaming on my TV suddenly seems more appealing. What do you guys think as I can get the ouya for 90quid with a 10 pound voucher.
I would primarily be using this for xbmc and occasional gaming as the move pro is a very competent joyed compared to the ouya poor one.

Not quite sure what this means, but you either love the ouya or hate it. I think it's better optimized than smartphones for emulators in its store and I have used the moga pro for them and it works fine on B mode.

Game Controllers for the Nexus

Anyone have any good suggestions on one of those new "Android Controllers" that you out your phone into and it'll work with certain games?
I recently downloaded Sonic, and have a big interest to playing it on my phone, as well as GTA, but I can't stand using my fingers on the screen, as its either too small of a screen for fat thumbs, or my finger dries up and it feels like it drags against the screen because of the heat.
One other thing is the compatibility. What games would and wouldn't work with the controller? Do I need an extra app for it to work? Ideally, I would love to download a psx emulator and play my FFVII again, since I doubt they will release it on mobile OS anytime soon.
And lastly, what about using my Xbox One controller? I won't go out to buy a ps3 or 360 controller, because then I might as well buy the ones they make for the phones.
Thank you in advance!

Moga Pro bro. I have one. Its all you need. Don't get the pocket - its too small IMO to feel like an actual controller.

Regarding certain apps, it is compatible with some actually. I'm not sure which Sonic game you're referring to. It its not compatible with Sonic Dash, but it does work with Sonic CD Lite, for example. I just know that because it is explicitly stated in the app's description. The best way to know which apps the Moga series (there's 4 out currently but the Moga Pro 1st generation is more than sufficient) work with is to read the description when you download the app usually.
There's also an app that the controller comes with, on a slip of paper basically, that you can download and it lists Moga compatible apps. I forgot the name of it but just search for Moga in the play store. I'm not sure how often its updated so I've personally never relied on it...
For emulators, I haven't came across any popular emulators that ISNT compatible with Moga, or any other Bluetooth controller. To use a PS3 controller, for example, you have to be rooted, which is one reason why I recommend sticking with a Moga Pro.
I currently play Power Stone Collection on PPSSPP flawlessly. It takes a bit of configuring to get the controller and button mappings to work depending on the emulator, but thats easily done with a bit of googling or youtubing. But yes, the Moga Pro is definitely compatible with psx emulators (especially the major 2, epsxe and the other one...)

Yeah, I recommend the Moga Pro simply from the standpoint that it is the most compatible with games. If a game supports any controller it's probably going to support the Moga. The Moga Pro Power is usually cheaper than the original Moga Pro since the original was discontinued.

It has a better clip for the phone and a better d-pad, plus has a large rechargeable battery that can power your phone if you want. I don't use the charging capability but the extra weight from the battery gives it a better feel (less top heavy).
You can connect the Moga in a generic Bluetooth controller mode or the "Moga" mode. I honestly haven't found any games that support a controller but don't work in the Moga mode. Some more obscure emulators may require you to switch it to the generic mode and configure the buttons manually, but I haven't found any.

Whats the difference between the Hero and Pro version, and why is the Hero 40 bucks more expensive?

The diff is the battery capacity. Moga is THE controller lol. But I have the Kickstarter Drone Controller which I really like as well. I played with the Moga and that is the go to, but I am a casual gamer and after the impulse controller, I didn't expect much from the Drone, but I was surprisingly wrong lol.

The Hero is a smaller form factor. It drops the "handles" so that it can be tossed in a bag more easily.
The reason it's more expensive is that it's backordered from Amazon so you're seeing a third party seller who is ripping people off. If you order it from Amazon it's only $40.

I recommend the Moga Pro also... It works great with Dead Trigger 2, MC4, Dungeon Hunter 4... Download the Moga Pivot app to see exactly what games are compatible.

Gamepad for the 1+1

Hi,
I'd like to know if someone has tested any gamepad with the 1+1 yet.
I'm highly interested in the nVidia Shield one, but have also read, that it has problems with other devices.
Right now I'm running on Android 5.0.1.
Greetz.

Edit:
Just ordered the Ipega PG-9023. Will give a report about them as soon as I receive them and had been able to try them out.

I own the ipega 9025, quite nice but needs some getting used to. Working fine for me in cm11 11s and lollipop. Only game seeming to have some problems is diii4a. Even hl2 runnig like a charm

Isnt hl2 tegra only? Or you are using chainfire?

I'm using ipega pg-9021. It's "inspired" by Xbox pad, so quite comfortably. It is great for emulators and Android games.

Actually I want to use it with Limelite (nVidia Gamestream for Android & Windows)

The Moga gamepads are pretty sweet, I have the Power Pro, just like a xbox controller and a built in clamp to hold the phone.

You can usw glstools to simulate tegra4 devices. Ill write you a howto later

i use samsung gamepad. of course play button not works but works on aspahlt 8 etc...

But if you think of it practically ...
With the 9023 you don't have to put your hands as near to each other.
Seems more comfortable to me.
But like I said, I'll report back as soon as I get it and was able to try it out

I have the moga mini? (it's the small foldable one) that I got a few years ago for $5 on a black friday deal, never really used it before but I pulled it out for the opo and while the phone makes things a bit uncomfortable because of its size everything worked great and with the moga universal driver I could even play non-moga approved games.

Might be a few days late, but if you aren't a big time gamer, maybe you just want to play an emulator ever so often, the Moga Pocket is pretty sweet for the price. The joysticks can be a little weird but you get used to it.
It's only $13 on amazon: http://www.amazon.com/MOGA-Mobile-G...1?ie=UTF8&qid=1418935284&sr=8-1&keywords=moga
Battery life is great too.
It should JUST fit the OPO.

Ipega 9025
I got this from Aliexpress for 18$ and i really like it

Looks cool, can you share the link please?

I also ordered one as this really looks nice.
