Has anybody tried a stylus with the NT? I read that they have an improved touchscreen controller in the NT and wanted to see if anyone has tested it out.
Yes, I use a tegra stylus from walmart constantly. I love it. Keeps smudges off my screen, I can be more accurate then with my fingers and I love the sketchbook app from autodesk.
+1 I got my targa from Radio Shack. It works fairly well. I will say it dosnt work as well as my Evo 3d, but it is still satisfactory.

Is Sketchbook any good ? I do some industrial design and I'm interested.

Sketchbook is great and in my opinion a bargain at a dollar. I haven't tried the new adobe stuff on android, that might be what I end up doing tonight though. There's also autocad avaliable if that helps you any(made by same company as SBM).

Tried to buy Photo shop I got the dreaded your device is not compatible, if I remember correctly it was designed for Honeycomb.
I can't think of what brand stylus I have...pretty sure most of them are the same anyway...but it works much better with the NT compared to the NC.
how much better? i mean your stylus on nt versus the nc. i have a nc and may switch to nt if the screen sensitivity is better and also has a custom rom like cm. thx.
Thanks for the feedback, I have two stylii that i tried on the NC (Dagi) and they worked OK, so will take them to the store and try on the NT. Sounds like if they worked on the NC at all, they should be much better on the NT.

i would like to know your results...
I, too, use a Targus Stylus. It works well, but it takes some getting used to. I keep selecting items in the market (and other places) when I'm trying to scroll down.
I just bought a pogo sketch pro from TenOne. It seems to work ok on my phone but it is horribly slow on the Nook Tablet. I've tried it with Handrite, SketchBook Mobile, and Skitch. Anyone experiencing slow response with a stylus?
By contrast my finger seems to work much better so I'm stumped as to whether I'm having a stylus problem (works well on phone) or a tablet problem (finger works fine).

If your finger works fine, it's probably the stylus. I picked up a tablet yesterday (did the trade in deal with my original nook) and will try out my Dagi stylii this weekend.
Rather than risk buying another stylus I made my own following these instructions. The response is better but not by much. Same story though.. the homemade stylus works perfectly on my phone. I wonder if all Nook Tablets have this issue. Might wander into a store and see how Skitch works on some others.
Just a quick update. I stopped by BN today and bought the official stylus. Pricey, but it works really well.

What official stylus? I couldn't find one on the bn site. I tried out one of the targis stylii at best buy and it worked well but the tip is too large for my tastes. I'll try the dagii tomorrow night.
I'm using a Bamboo brand stylus I bought at Best Buy in the iPad section. I picked it because it has a smaller tip than every other stylus I've seen so far. It's very fast and responsive with every app I've tried it out on except for Sketchbook. I don't know if it's because I'm used to drawing on a convertible tablet laptop with a hard stylus (using the PC version of Sketchbook) or with regular implements on paper. It's not bad, but I get better results using my fingers in Sketchbook on my nook Tablet. I do like the Bamboo stylus quite a bit, but if it worked better with that one program, I'd be so much happier with it.

What official stylus indeed. I did the same thing which is why i walked into a store to ask. They sell a nook branded vara stylus. The box says it's "Made for NOOK 2nd Edition". It runs $20 or so but works way better than the other one I have. Jury is still out on whether it's better than my finger but it is good enough for me to not return the NT.
I was interested in trying out the nook branded Varga stylus since I got a bunch of B&N gift cards this Xmas. When I asked at one of my local stores tonight, I was told the stylus is not out in our area yet and not expected anytime soon. You can't buy it online either. What the heck?!
I've got a makeshift conductive foam stylus. I kept reading reviews of rubber tipped stylii that complained it was difficult to get it to register and drag it across the screen because they had to be pressed down to register but the friction at that pressure was a pain. I read a few complaints that claimed the NT was especially problematic with some stylus or another, that it would register on other devices but was iffy on the NT.
I had some foam from a previous PC build (the CPU shipped in it) that worked no problem. Cut off a piece, folded it, stuffed/screwed it into a small LED flashlight housing I'd emptied out as the pen body. It was a spur of the moment thing so I may find a better housing later, but I quite enjoy it even as is. Very responsive even with a light touch.
Just bought this fella a few days ago, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MUG3JPU/, and LOVE it. The silver buttons are pretty cheapy, but the buttons used for gaming (joysticks, d pad, shoulder buttons, etc) are VERY high quality. It grips my phone very securely, but its in the metallic Incipio case, havent tried without the case yet. Should still hold fine. Best things IMHO are that with the size of the Z Ultra, it is almost a perfect fit, just a cm away from looking like it was made for this phone, and the fact that the buttons are laid out like a PS3 controller.
It will fit a 10 inch tablet, as well, which is a plus (even though I just sold my Note 10.1 2014, and not just have an Onda 972 I havent used in over a year )
Attached a pretty horrible screenshot. Charging port is still easily accessible. Can even still use it like a phone in the gamepad, not like its THAT much *more* unwieldy haha
That looks so bulky. How is it for longer gaming sessions? IMO, the best controller would still be the official PS3 DS controller. :good:
Well yeah the Dualshock is better as far as controls go haha, but I dont have a stand for my Z Ultra and I dont like the screen being positioned in top of the controller so for me it isnt a consideration. In fact I bought this to replace using my Dualshock. I prefer the screen in the middle of the controller, PSP-style.
It really isnt that bulky when you hold it. my hands are average sized and its a comfy fit. For really long sessions it may get tiring, just because the phone itself weighs so much. Its about the size of a standard PC controller.
i like it alot
I bought this controller and I love it it can feet several tablet and it works great on emulators and some regular games
Hey guys, so, I know there's a lot of you out there who are thinking of getting a controller for your shield tablet, thinking you should get a console controller w/ bluetooth or something of that nature, but I honestly think this is the best controller out there, despite some of its flaws. This isn't really a professional review, just some pictures and captions xP But I think it'll give people an idea of what to expect. The pictures were relatively big, 4000x3000, so I had to resize them all to 1024x768 on postimg. You can click the thumbnails to get a better view.
So as far as the box goes, there's nothing really much to say, it's mostly in chinese.
There's not much inside the box. Just the controller, a charge cable that's about 3 meters long, and an instruction manual.
The sheer size of this thing after first holding it literally had me laughing for about 10 minutes, just actually taking in that I'm holding this gaming device that is now about 13.5" long was just funny xD
After playing with this thing for an hour or two, going back to the Vita, the Vita felt extremely tiny in comparison.
This thing has three modes to pair, each is selected by turning the controller on while holding either X, Y, or A and pressing the home button at the same time. There is Keyboard, Gamepad(What you'd use), and mouse mode. Gamepad is X+Home.
Showing off Black Ops 2 played through Gamestream here:
The controller works very well with gamestream, practically no input lag AT ALL, but there is some video lag though that's NVIDIA's fault and will hopefully be lowered in the later months/years.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACTUAL REVIEW NOW
Now, onto some actual reviewy type stuff, the pros and cons. The build quality for this controller is absolutely FANTASTIC for $30, It feels much better than my Moga Pro in every aspect except portability, but for a tablet I'm sure you aren't expecting that anyway. The sticks feel amazing to the touch and have just the right amount of resistance, both the face buttons and the top buttons feel nice, just everything feels great and it's hard to believe this thing only costs $30, but there are some cons.
Not exactly a con: Ports
The ports are hidden as you have the controller fit as snug as possible, but it is completely possible to raise the tablet up higher while it's in the controller and have every port shown while still having a tight fit. It'll look something along the lines of this.
I kid you not I was flinging this controller up and down and left and right and even with the tablet in that high, it didn't budge at all, this controller holds your device in very well.
Pro: Works with Gamemapper
For some reason it's 2015 and we still have FPS games that don't have native gamepad support(NOVA 3). Luckily, just hold the start button and you can bring up NVIDIA's gamemapper.
(60/40) Con: D-PAD
Don't get me wrong, this is a really great D-PAD...For everything other than fighters. It feels nice, it works almost perfectly, the problem is, diagonal inputs don't read as naturally as they should. You have to kind of put more effort into getting the D-PAD in the diagonal portion of the gate to correctly get a hadouken or whatever you want out. It's kind of frustrating. A side note, for some reason, the Home button doesn't work at all. Not sure if I have a broken controller or if it just doesn't work correctly with Lollipop.
Con: L2/R2 (LT/RT for you X360 users)
Even though they feel nice to press, I can't get over the fact that these are just buttons, and not actual triggers. I don't even want to try a racing game with Gamestream because of how much it'd fail. They work fine with everything else though.
All in all, this is a very nice controller, and even with those cons, I'd recommend it to ANYONE looking for a controller for ANY tablet. Definitely the best bang for your buck.
MY SCORE: 9/10
You can purchase the controller really cheap at:
Mod Edit: Commercial links removed.
Solid review. I had the same controller a while back for my Nexus 7 and it worked well . I sent it back along with my refurbed 7 to Amazon a few week's back while deciding on which tablet to purchase next. After picking up the Shield Tablet the other day, I decided re-purchase this one instead of going with the Shield controller. The iPega's ability to hold the tablet right where your hands should be helps deliver a more immersive experience which can't be said for just about anything else out there.

Yeah, definitely. I used to use a PS3 Controller for the Shield Tablet and was considering buying this prototype looking thing, http://www.shapeways.com/product/BJXE3ZRK3/ps3-controller-nvidia-shield-tablet
Then I considered just how top heavy that would be and decided to look elsewhere. This is definitely the best tablet controller hands down.
I agree this is a very good product for the price and handles very well when gaming. Though be weary, if you choose to have your Nvidia Shield in a full body case which increases the thickness of the tablet, then its not going to fit securely. I got the iPega 9023 first, then got the the Poetic Revolution case. And the frustrating thing is, I want both, but currently the tablet when in the case doesn't sit securely in the controller, the controller loses its grip, and springs back into its default size, pushing out the tablet.
well sir.
The iPega 9023 is known to use ****ty joysticks with incredibly bad deadzones. Firmware compensation for those deadzones prevent simple replacement of the sticks with better equipment. Im surprised you rated it so high. Even given the extremely low asking price, 25$ is better spent elsewhere. For those considering this piece of junk, its hard to see in a video, but you should at least do some homework before blowing your money on this thing. There have only been 2 known revisions, the 2nd edition being nothing but a palette swap. I had high hopes for a gamepad tablet holder. Even after doing the research i purchased with the intention of just replacing the sticks. Having done that, its very clear the problem is both firmware and hardware, and there's no easy fix.

If you root your tablet, you can set custom deadzones for any gamepad in the android system. You just need to edit the appropriate .kl file, I've done it many times for Xbox 360 controllers and the Moga Pro gamepad.
ok
How you do it
Explain please
I like so far the ipega but I want more.
I think nobody care
Can anyone measure what is maximum stretch of this controller?
I own 10.6'' "cube i7 stylus" tablet, with length of 273.77mm (10.77'') and I am not sure if it is going to fit.
It is advertised as 10'' maximum but maybe it can be stretched more?
Thanks!

Gamemapper does work with most controllers I believe. I believe you have to hold start to get it to come up. I don't use stock anymore, and use Tincore all the way, so its been a while since I ever looked at it with curiosity.

It autodetects the iPega. There is nothing special about using it with Tincore and to tell you how to use it would be just posting what already exists in the Tincore guides. My advice is, Tincore does ALOT which you probably won't need. Focus on just the aspects you need and ignore the rest.
Here is where I've referred each time I've got stuck using it:
http://tincore.freewiki.in/index.php/Tincore_Keymapper
Hi, when battery dies, can I use it wired? I mean using an OTG USB cable on a Windows tablet (Lenovo Miix 2)
Hi. Does the clamping work with vertical orientation? I wish to buy this controller but I prefer vertical orientation since I played a lot of DS emulator and it's better in vertical orientation (not to mention the hassle of having to rotate the phone back when trying to reply instant message)
Anyone know of any good headsets? I got the white Vigica one from Amazon but the buttons kept getting smushed making the volume go all the way up or all the way down.
If you're rocking one, which one?
I have the view master by mattle and it works perfect. Any questions just ask
purchased at target for 25$
Edit: no volume button smashing, but they are easily accessible to change volume if needed
Headsets
Hello,
There's an unfortunate truth about the Nexus 6... It has a 6" screen. The majority of headsets are being geared towards 5.5" and smaller. I've purchased and used 3 headsets with my Nexus 6 though, so I can share some experience there.
The first headset was the Blisstime Google Cardboard
One of the cheapest headsets on the market
Comes with foam to cover the uncomfortable cardboard bits
Solid quality cardboard
Comes with (admittedly useless) strap
DOES NOT FIT NEXUS 6.
As mentioned, I had to cut out additionally pieces of cardboard and tape here and there to make my Nexus 6 fit.
Second headset was another Cardboard one. IAMCARDBOARD 6"
Fits the phone perfectly
Allows a lot of light in because of it's wide form factor
The poor design of the front of the unit where the camera hole was cut out allows the cardboard to crush inwards within a few weeks of use
The Blisstime headset, although too small gave a much more immersive experience. I attribute this to the closer distance of the screen to my eyes, the much smaller amount of light let through and the foam to allow comfortable use.
The last headset I purchased was the IncrediSonic M700 VUE Series
Relatively comfortable
Good quality strap that holds the headset in a convenient location
Included remote works as cardboard magnet (trigger) (NOTE if you're trying to figure this out, it's the select button that works as the trigger.)
Overall, the high quality plastic doesn't quite make up for the fact that it's the exact same experience I will get with a $12 cardboard. There is nothing more immersive about this headset than the Blisstime or IAMCARDBOARD. In fact, as a developer, I don't even touch this headset anymore.
I purchased it with the sole intent of having a more attractive looking display unit; which I think it will do.

I second the Viewmaster. The phone won't fit with a case (Ringke slim), but that's the only downside I've noticed.

Glad you added that. Doesn't fit with unicorn beetle either.
I purchased the following Chinese one for $10 from Aliexpress. I'm happy with it and would highly recommend it.... especially for the price. Its based of of the original cardboard with the magnet but it works great with the nexus 6. They ship from China so it takes 2-3 weeks to arrive but it works great... "Quake for Google Cardboard" alone was worth it for me.

I got my cardboard 2.0 clone from aliexpress for ~$7.
If you have a cardboard one, you can cut out the volume and power button space so it doesnt interfere when you strap it in, thats what I did and its fine.
I had to customize mine with the google webapp provided. Else things were out of focus and I saw double. Now anything that shows VR through cardboard settings is fine, but standard videos downloaded from web are still pretty messed up when looking at range, I guess they are made just for oculus' settings?
I just use the free one Google gives away. Or get a free one from Verizon.

I'm interested in finding one that works well with the N6 as well.
+1 for Viewmaster. Readily available for $20. Use a bluetooth headset. I like that you have to hold it (not head mounted) as I don't want my son walking around the house with a headset on his head.
