Since Honeycomb provides support for various game controllers, I thought I'd give my Xbox 360 controllers a try. Neither the wired or wireless (via MS USB/wireless adapter) devices are recognised by my Xoom 2 ME.
I am using a USB OTG cable that works perfectly with a flash drive and a mouse.
Logcat shows no entries at all when the Xbox controllers are plugged in, which perhaps suggests that the stock firmware doesn't support them.
Has anyone else been able to get USB joypads or other game controllers to work with the Xoom 2 natively? I'm avoiding IME hacks and suchlike as I would like something that will work with the new controller APIs.
I know there's only about three people in the world (other than me) who actually bought the Xoom 2 ME, but surely one of you has a joypad you can test out?
I spotted a cheap-ish controller (£17) when out shopping and decided to give it a try.
I got the Power-A Air-Flo PS3 controller, which actually has an overall layout similar to an Xbox 360 controller (which is what I'm used to).
This was recognised by the X2ME straight away and I was able to have a quick game of Cordy with it. As a bonus, and since it's a standard HID controller, it works on my Ubuntu laptop as well.
So perhaps the X2ME is a bit fussier about its controllers than some other tablets, or perhaps there's additional tweaking needed to get the Xbox controllers working.
My ultimate aim is to be able to plug this tablet into a TV in a hotel room via HDMI and use it as a portable games console. Currently I'm having trouble with the Micro-HDMI to HDMI connection and I'm not sure if it's a problem with the cable, the socket on the X2ME, or some software issue. So far I have been able to get a picture to appear on the TV only intermittently and haven't yet had both the game controller and the HDMI output working at the same time.
Edit: Have just managed to get the HDMI out running for long enough to test with the controller and it worked really well. Once I have figured out the reason for the intermittent HDMI output, it'll be time to find games available for the X2ME that support an external controller
I realise I'm pretty much just talking to myself on this thread, so here's a picture to liven things up ;-)

i just tried two usb controllers
logitect rumblePad 2(normal pc game controller) that's works perfectly and a logitect chillstream (windows recognize it as an xbox360 controller) that's is not working (although powerup and tablet recognized it )
Thanks for the info. It is starting to look like there may be an issue recognising Xbox-type controllers, though it's based on a rather small sample at this stage

Very cool. Thanks for the info! I may try and get my Classic Controller + WiiMote to do the same thing via Bluetooth, which I've done before on my old G2.

I know you can use a otg cable to connect a ps4 controller to the note 4, but had anyone found a way to pair them with blue tooth without rooting?
I'm so used to the flexibility with root on my old s3...
Hello there! Did anyone tryed to connect a 2,4GHz. wireless gamepad to an android device (specifically a G Pad 8.3)? I've got a Natec PV44 which comes with an USB receiver, which works great on android, but you know, it's kind of messy to when an OTG cable with the USB dongle in it is sticking out of the tablet... The G Pad didn't find the gamepad through BT or Wifi, so I guess if there aren't some special drivers for connecting a 2,4GHz. gamepad without the USB dongle, it won't work Which is kind of sad. I'm totally not a gamepad guy, the last time when I was playing games with a gamepad was in the 90's on some kind of Nintendo clone. Even racing games like NFS on PC aren't that good with the gamepad... But for example the Reckless Racing 3 on Android was pretty nice to play with the gamepad.
Hi,
I'm wanting a good game controller for use with game emulation. I have connected my PS3 controller by Bluetooth but it cant be used at the same time as the firetv remote.
Can anyone recommend me a good one? I don't mind wired controller, just want a plug and play solution
Thanks
Hard Candy controllers are great and they are plug and play. Plus they take regular batteries so you don't have to worry about charging yur controller. I personally hate the idea of a rechargable controller.
I'm using the Logitech f710 controller which comes with a usb Wi-Fi dongle, seems to work fine on the games I've tested so far.
I have been using both Wired and Wireless Xbox 360 Controllers using OTG and the 360 dongle receiver (Also DS3 Wired) in my Samsung A8 2018 revision. And I decided to try my controllers with my Redmi Note 8 Pro and it seems both wired and wireless don't work or no support with the Operating System such as the MIUI.
Samsung has built-in drivers and supported various 3rd party controllers including the official ones such as the PlayStation controllers or the Xbox controllers.
It seems that MIUI doesn't have a built-in controller software support or it doesn't have these features at all.
Any advice on how to get this thing sort it out?
Same problem here .But the controller works with redmi note 6pro which has a micro usb. If I convert to other os will it work.??
