Okay, it appears all newer tablets will easily locate and connect to a ps3 controller via Bluetooth. There's heaps online, but not for the Tegra Note 7.... The controller doesn't appear.
Apart from playing via the OTG cable, which works great by the way, it's less practical when on the move.
Anyone have any success in pairing a ps3 controller to their Tegra Note 7 via Bluetooth Bluetooth controllers for android such as the MOGA haven't got the feel of a ps3 controller? Surely the Tetra Note 7 is capable of supporting a ps3 controller without rooting.
Any comments?

Bit of a shameless bump but...
Nvidia say many controllers will work but only give instructions for the Logitech F710 (wireless through a dongle but expensive) and the Xbox 360 PC USB controller (wired). I`m wondering if the PS3/PS4 controllers or any other decent and reasonably priced ones can be used too...?

Curious if anyone knows about hooking up a wired, usb controller to the TF while docked. I already own the wired gaming controllers that I use on my laptop for SNES roms, but wanted to use it on the transformer while I'm out.
android 3.1 supports the xbox and ps3 wire controllers...and i'm guessing other standard (meaning they work without custom drivers) gamepads.
i test an old PC gamepad i had, and it only partially worked. (some buttons aren't recognized, or recognized weirdly)
eitherway, it's trial and error.
but officially, Android 3.1 supports, at the very least, the xbox and ps3 controllers.
I can confirm ps3 controller works

Will give it a try
Sweet, well i have an older gamepad that once I get the TF I will give it a shot, worst comes to worst will just pick up an xbox controller and call it good
The Xbox 360 USB controller does not work with this tablet.
Are you using an actual USB 360 controller or a 360 controller with the charge and play cable? The charge and play cable does not transmit data, it only charges, so you would have to have the 360 controller synced through blue tooth to make it work that way.
I got one of these docks today so I can confirm that the following controllers work with the dock:
PS3 dual shock
Logitech Cordless Precision PS3 controller (Wireless!)
Mayflash Classic Controller USB adapter (this one surprised me)
HOWEVER!
I was unable to get any of the emulators to register the right analog stick, which for most emulators is not a big deal, but still not as good I think as just using a wii remote with a classic controller which seems to work for all the buttons and sticks and things.
Also, I was unable to get 2 usb gamepads to be recognized independently (i.e. as player 1 and player 2) so for me this is not good either. I am now selling the dock on ebay because the only plus for me was being able to have 2 wireless USB gamepads that are not tethered to something else (wii remote) and be able to play 2 player games. Otherwise this dock just makes my transformer less portable. I'm sure for some people it's great though, I'm not knocking it, it just wasn't suited for what I wanted.
Anyone try it with a Logitech gamepad (usb)?

Yes, I'm using an actual USB Xbox 360 controller not the wireless controller with the charge and play cable. This is an issue that if you search the forums you'll find others who have the same problem. I had emailed Asus more than a month ago about the issue and they finally responded and said:
Dear Valued Customer,
For the problem, currently TF101's dock does not support xbox 360 controller.
Sorry for any inconvenience. Wish you have a nice day.

And when I asked if it will be supported in the future:
Dear Valued Customer,
Currently TF101 does not support it, but I will pass your test result as a VOC(vovice of customer) to the related dept.
Sorry for any inconvenience. Wish you have a nice day.

The wireless gamepad I tried was Logitech, so I would imagine that this would work as well. I have a couple of older model Logitech gamepads I can test later on if I get around to it.
I really am disappointed though in the fact that android 3.1 does not seem to distinguish between 2 different gamepads plugged in at the same time. I tried setting up a 2 player game of Contra by mapping buttons for player 1 and player 2 on each respective pad, but both gamepads controlled both characters at the same time. So it's fine for single player, but any kind of multiplayer is no go.
I take it back. It is something they are looking to resolve:
The next firmware update will support xbox 360 controller and the firmware will be released soon.

Thanks so much for the info! But would you be so kind as to check with the older model Logitech gamepads (with usb)? I'm looking to buy the one that I linked you earlier and this would definitely be a deal breaker if it didn't work.
I bought the Logitech F310-controller. It works fine with N64oid and ok with Reckless Racing & Getaway.
However, even though I select gamepad as control method I can not get Shine Runner nor Air Attack HD working. Do these games work for other people or do these games require a PS3-controller?
I bought the logitech F510. In Riptide GP works fine, but 3D games, like Shadowgun, cannot be played, because right analog doesn´t work correctly. I try Kernel module pack V4 from this forum, but it not help me. I think it was a mistake bought this gamepad. Perhaps I will go buy PS3 controller...
Dumb question but do you need the dock for this to work? I bought it thinking I can just pair with the Bluetooth.

Yes, you need the dock to plug it in via usb. Unless of course you have an OTG USB adapter, in which case you would plug it into that.
I briefly had the F710 before I returned it and bought an excellent condition used-PS3 dualshock 3 from Gamestop. The only game I attempted to play was Grand Theft Auto III, and it worked perfectly fine for that. I much prefer the Sixaxis method though because you create touch profiles for games that don't support controllers.
EDIT: Should note that the Logitech F310/510/710 series controllers are all well made, but not nearly as comfortable to use as a PS3 controller (which itself is one step below a 360 controller imo). However, you can use them with a PC relatively easier than you can a Sixaxis.
I couldnt connect F710 to S3, is there a special way to do it?
I can't connect F510 to S3
Someone use F510 on S3?

How is the PS3 controller working for you? I have the 710, and it seems like it works about half the time. I am now running CM10, and it worked better with that than any other rom until the latest nightly. I would love something more reliable and consistent. Would you still recommend the PS3 controller and Sixaxis?
I have the Sony Dualshock 3 Sixaxis and works perfect via Usb Otg and wireless with Sixaxis App!
I have and the Logitech F510 that it's a perfect gamepad for pc gaming and very durable!!
But my Samsung Note 3 Neo (Kitkat Root) can't see it...
I tried connecting this controller to my Att s3 with no luck. It's a wireless controller but has the plug in cable to charge it while playing. This setup does not work, I can't get the usb app to recognize the controller. Is there a trick to this or does it only work with the wired controller?

From my understanding it only works with a wired controller. Or a Bluetooth PS3 Controller. Same applies to my Transformer prime. Also note that you do have to download the SixAxis App for the PS3 controller.

I thought you only needed that app for pre-ICS ? Have read a few places that ICS natively supports PS3 controllers...
I tried the ps3 controller and it is natively supported, at least through usb. I haven't tried bluetooth yet.

The Play-and-Charge cable is just that: a charger. It doesn't carry data signals. To use a wireless 360 controller on anything that isn't a 360, you need one of these: Microsoft Xbox 360™ Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows®
I have 2 of them, they work great on a PC, but I've never tried them on a mobile device.
Hello
I have MHL adapter and its working fine with my SGS2 but i want to play games on the TV on Wifi/BT Game PAD.
I don`t have any game pad so this is open.
In theory I have rpogram to chose:
a) USB/BT Joystick Center - for any OTG controllers
b) Sixaxis controller - for only original PS3 game pads
I don`t want to buy the PS3 game pad as its expesive a I additionally I want to buy next year the new XBOX.
Best choise for now would be a cheap wireless controller with the program A) which dosen`t need to be plugged to the phone with OTG cable.
Is this possible and is there such a hardware to buy?
Any ideas?
Use a cheap usb (pc) game pad and use it with A program.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
how to connect it when I have the MHL adapter in the USB port ?
the sixaxis controller and the sixaxis app are your only options.
let me explain:
if you want to use mhl, you cannot use another usb device, which excludes xbox controllers, because, well, the wired one needs a usb port of course, but the wireless needs a usb receiver as well (since it is not bluetooth). also, i never got the wired one working, it seems to consume to much power for the phone and only works on tablets.
then there is the wiimote, which works with bluetooth, but to my knowledge, it does not work with the bluetooth stack on the s2. the consequence is:
either you use an aosp/aokp based rom (which uses a different bluetooth stack), then you can use the wiimote, but no mhl, or you use a stock rom, then you can use mhl, but no wiimote.
since you need the usb port for mhl, all "cheap pc usb controllers" are out as well.
then there is the phonejoy controller, which works as a native bluetooth controller, but costs way too much for being just a sixaxis knock-off controller (it is like 60eur here).
so, if you go with the original sony dualshock 3 controller (for about 30eur) and an additional 2eur, you are better off. also, besides being able to pair the controller as a native controller, it can also be connected as a native keyboard or using touch profiles, which means, games without controller support will also work. and since this works with a fairly regular bluetooth connection, there is no cable issue there.

Anybody got a recommended compatible wired gamepad?
I tried my usb (original, possibly not msoft) xbox controller through an adapter and it didn't register at all.
Think with a decent controller, this tablet and geforce now could be fantastic
