Since many sideloaded apps require a mouse to use in place of a touchscreen, I'm wondering if the included Fire TV controller or the game pad accessory can be used to control a mouse cursor. Even an Xbox 360 controller would be better than using an actual mouse or the suggestions of using VNC. Thanks!
Can I use Amazons game controller with the ouya launcher on AFTV? I installed ouya software on my amazon fire tv and I am just wondering if Amazons fire game controller would work with that. I would rather get that then ouyas controller but if it wont work than ill just get the ouya controller.

I know I can use a PS3 controller with the Ouya console.
Unlike the Fire TV, the Fire Stick TV doesn't have a USB port, so a keyboard and mouse don't seem to be an option (please correct me if I'm wrong). I side loaded the .apk of the latest version of HBO Go but, being an app developed for touch screens, is it possible to actually use such an app on the Fire TV Stick? I can't seem to figure out a way to operate it with the Fire TV Stick remote. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Download an app called wukong from the app store on your phone enables a mouse cursor on the fire tv stick
2 ways to control it usewukong app as mouse and remote to scroll or even better if u have a bluetooth keyboard/mouse or game pad u can use that after installing the settings.apk file to mary the device. I use the ipazzport mini keyboard and touchpad works great.

Any cheaper options you might recommend?
yeah thats it amazon has it for about 20...here
use a 360 controller or the gamestop tablet gamepad there's a few other pads that work as well.
I just happened to have this one laying around and it works great.

Are you referring to an Xbox 360 controller to use with the Fire TV Stick? I would prefer to use that if it works. I love that controller and would feel much better than even the official Amazon one.

he says the Fire TV Stick remote works fine.
Looks like he's using an .apk he got from his Fire TV.
So im sure this has been asked before but I couldnt find the specific answer I was looking for. Basically I have a bunch of emulators on my tablet. I have the latest gen Kindle HDX 7inch and was wondering, if I got the fire tv stick + the fire controller, could use the fire TV to stream my emulator to my TV while using the controller? If I cant do it with those exact products are there any others that may work instead? Thanks a bunch.
Most, if not all, devices that are running a recent version of Android support screen casting.

Screen casting works fine. Though PS4 Bluetooth controllers have a slight bit of lag. But very usable once its not a fast paced game.
Hi,
Does anyone have a good emulator setup on the fireTV? (with list of best emulators to use)
I seen this: http://www.retroboxtv.com/ and wanting to set it up on my fire tv 1
Tried a few gamecube / wii emulators but none seem to work on fire tv.
