Hey guys, I just got the Razer phone and I'm trying to connect a wireless Xbox 360 controller to the device. I'm using an otg cable to the wireless dongle but it doesn't pick it up, I've done this with several of my old devices all of witch were HTCs. Is there any software I need to install? It worked out of the box with all my previous phones, no root or additional software.
Maybe the issue is in the otg?? I connect a ps4 controller via Bluetooth.
Does the phone support USB OTG ?
I have seen that the nextbit robin phone does not and razer acquired them to make this phone.
It does support otg and the cable is not the issue, it's the same cable I used to connect it on my previous device.
Indeed, Razer Phone has OTG support and it works with pendrives, keyboards, mouses but doesn't work with my wired Xbox 360 Controller...
Any ideas?

As far as I know, the thing doesn't HAVE proper controller support.
Except maybe the Razer Raiju Mobile that just came out.
Razer Tech Support said there's no OTG or controller support.
I plug my DS4 in directly to the phone, nothing. I plug an S8 to the controller with the same wire, recognizes it fully.
This phone is the most finicky device I've ever dealt with.

do you reckon there is any conceivable way that you could pair your controller directly with your phone?
the app is great but if you want to use your controller for your phone and for ps3 it cant be a bit of a ball ache as when you plug it back into your ps3 it pairs back, and then if you wanna use it with your phone again you have to go back and pair it with the pc.
USB OTG host cable
Cool. Does this require any additional software or does it just pair automatically?
Do you think it would make any difference if I got a micro USB to female regular USB (as oppose to mini USB for the controller) as it would then be more versatile and could possibly use with other USB stuff? I could still plug the controller in through the ps3 USB charging cable?

In Sixaxis Controller all you need to do is press the Pair Controller button. If you don't have anything connected "No controller found - please connect it via USB cable" will display in the log.
This is the cable I got. I just plug in the controller to the USB-USB mini cable it came with to the host cable and the host cable to the phone.
Here is what I know:
I can use a Samsung USB-to-HDMI adapter to display the screen on a TV while charging the phone. You can hook up a PS3 controller to the GN2 with a USB-OTG cable. I also know that you can connect certain devices to the GN2 via USB-OTG cable and a USB hub to charge the GN2 while using the peripheral.
What I would like to do:
I would like to be able to run an emulated two-player game on my GN2 while displaying on an HDMI connected TV, and having two controllers work at the same time for simultaneous two player action (ex. Street Fighter 2 Turbo for SNES). I already have a couple PS3 controllers as well as two generic USB PC gaming controllers that I would like to use.
Basically, is the USB port on the GN2 capable of being used to simultaneously charge the phone, and run the HDMI adapter and two USB controllers? If not, what about just running the HDMI adapter and charging the phone, then run two controllers via Bluetooth? Also, I see there is a smart dock (EDD-S20JWE) that looks to have all of the functionality I'm interested in, can anyone confirm this?
Thanks all.
I have never thought of that! I am also interested though!

I actually just tried this very setup the other day: HDMI out + PS3 controller. In theory it should be awesome... But I found that the HDMI out is super laggy (both in terms of framerate, and a pretty significant delay between what shows on the phone screen vs. the TV screen). I tried it on both a TV, and a PC monitor, and it was the same. I posted about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2098948
It made every game I tried unplayable. I didn't even try a fighting game, but I'd imagine it would be even worse.
It makes the setup pretty unusable in my opinion, which has me pretty bummed out because I was really excited about it.
I'll just stick to GameKlip + PS3 controller for now.
I just opened my OTG cable and tried connecting a Logitech MX Darkfield mouse to the tablet and it does not recognize it at all. I have also tried my brother's Logitech M560 and still no difference but my wired Logitech G400 works. I was wondering what was your experience with connecting a wireless USB mouse to the tablet through an OTG cable and if you had any successful connections.

I've used various USB OTG adapters successfully with mice and keyboards. Did you just get the cable? Does it work with anything else?

I just got the cable yesterday through Amazon and wired mice in addition to keyboards have been successful as of now. I read another post describing similar issues which mentioned that all 5 of his wireless Logitech mice did not work with the OTG cable. What brand/model have you been using?

I didn't realize you were talking wireless. I've never tried any, but later I'll borrow my wife's Logitech.
Hello. Is there any solution to make Xbox 360 controller working on Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2?
Did you try an OTG cable together with the wireless receiver?
I have wired Xbox 360 controller and I have connected it with OTG cable, but tablet found nothing.

My Tab Pro 8.4 picks up a wired Xbox 360 Afterglow + OTG just fine. Plug the joypad into the OTG connector first and then the OTG into the tablet. If that doesn't work, I wonder if you have a bad OTG cable or controller connection? Does it even light up? Maybe try testing it with a different OTG cable or another controller.
The only problem I've run into so far is only the D-Pad will work with RetroArch, and none of the other buttons register. But all of the buttons work fine with the regular home screen and the Nostalgia.NES app. This behavior has thrown me for a loop.
I know people have talked about using a Bluetooth mouse with the Tab S4 in DEX mode, but what about a USB mouse? Would it work with a USB-C wireless mouse or with a standard USB mouse with a USB-C adapter?
It should work just fine with a standard USB mouse as well. I used a USB Type C otg cable to use my usb nouse until my bluetooth one arrived and it worked well, I just had a dongle hanging off the side of the tablet.
I've been using a wireless logitech keyboard and mouse (with the usb unifying thing), connected with an OTG usb cable.
They work very well. They also work with the android phones I've had. It's kind of ideal. I don't often need a keyboard and mouse, voice recognition works perfectly. But on those rare occasions it's super easy to hook up.
One thing, sometimes the developer options for 'usb connection type' need to be changed to 'midi' to get it working. Sure beats the heck out of overpaying for a specialized keyboard for the device, which I almost would never use

I have been trying to use a Logitech K400+ keyboard with my Galaxy Tab S4 using the usb dongle with a USB C to USB adapter, and it does not connect. A wireless mouse with dongle works perfectly though. Any suggestions ?
You need to pair the mouse/keyboard with the USB receiver first on a PC, then from then on it will work in any android device.

I tested my CORSAIR - M65 PRO Wired RGB Optical Gaming Mouse using the USB-C adapter that came with my S9+ and it worked. RGB lit up and everything there was no setup required. Simply plug and use.

I'm using G602 Logitech.
It's a wireless mouse but not a bluetooth one.
I connect it with UGreen USB type C Hub to do presentations
Does anyone know if a usb mmo mouse like the Cosair scimitar will work? And will it detect all 12 side buttons as num1, num2, etc?
