Have you used it with the Ultra and does it work as well with the PS3 controller?
I like the looks but if it only works with PS4 controller then is not really a "better" alternative since I only got PS3 unfortunately.
That Nyko Smart clip seems to be obsctructing the phone buttons! Had some bad reviews on Amazon...

Hey guys,
This isn't really specific to the Transformer itself, but kinda specific to HC. I figured with all the awesome emulators available for Android and how awesome they run on Tegra 2 (N64oid works great!), I'd try to find a nice bluetooth controller that works with Android.
Specifically I'd like one with analog sticks. Not sure if a good driver has been written yet for this, but if so, I figured someone on here would know.
The best setup I've found so far from my research would be to use a WiiMote with a Classic controller pro plugged into it. That setup might be a bit expensive though (~$40). I own Xbox 360 and PS3 controllers already, so I was hoping there would be a solution for one of those two (but not looking likely from my research).
Here is my ideal setup: Transformer + emulators (n64oid, snesoid, etc.) + HDMI cable + bluetooth controller = a bunch of old school consoles that can run on a portable machine that can be connected to a TV and also that has a wireless controller
Try this one http://us.codejunkies.com/Products/Wii-Wireless-Retro-Controller___EF000622.aspx
I use "wiimote controller" app. available on market for free, with classic controller plugged into wiimote. You can then use snesoid etc. to setup the buttons.
Played mario kart and zelda on snesoid using the dpad and the usual buttons but not sure if analog controllers work as have not tried them yet. Don't see why they shouldn't though.
Have a look at this..http://www.roms4droid.com/wii.php
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHFRbQKnrfg
^^^ That seems to me like the best setup. You can get an older edition of the wiimote for ~$20 and Amazon sells the Classic Controller Pro for I think ~$15 right now.
The controller I posted above is just like the classic pro but without the need to tether it to the wiimote.

But will that sync with the Wiimote app?

Have you ordered one from codejunkies? I placed an order through Amazon, but it's going to take a month to deliver. Wondering if codejunkies is any faster or if they are just a front end to the same manufacturer/wholeseller.
Edit - oh, I see that is actually a slightly different product. I thought it was the Datel controller. I wonder if it is as compatible as the Datel seems to be.
The one on amazon is the datel I just ordered it.

Man, wished I searched Amazon before I ordered one from CodeJunkies in UK. Still havent received my controller yet. I ordered over a week ago.
would it be possible to use another android device as a controller?
Good news, when we get the 3.1 update, it will support a "ridiculous" amount of usb devices, including the Xbox360 controller.

Do you think these devices would work via the proprietary charge cable with a female to female usb adapter? That would rock.
I hope there will be some sort of support for the 360 wireless adapter. I dont want to buy a wired controller when i already have the adapter and two wireless controllers!
3.1 Platform Hightlights:
Support for joysticks and gamepads
To make the platform even better for gaming, Android 3.1 adds support for most PC joysticks and gamepads that are connected over USB or Bluetooth HID.
For example, users can connect Sony Playstation™ 3 and XBox 360™ game controllers over USB (but not Bluetooth), Logitech Dual Action™ gamepads and flight sticks, or a car racing controller. Game controllers that use proprietary networking or pairing are not supported by default, but in general, the platform supports most PC-connectible joysticks and gamepads.

Great news! The number of controllers compatible with Android is seriously lacking.

Anybody tried to use this yet with their transformer, I was thinking of trying it over the PS3 controller because I could use it with my phone as well.
I've got one and it works great using a app called bluez ime then using on snesiod gameboid and n64oid

I've been thinking about getting one, but shipping to the US is pretty steep.
Have you gotten the PS3 controller to work with the Transformer over Bluetooth or via USB(on the dock) only? I'm trying to find a nice gamepad that would work without needing the dock to use.
I would really like to get one of these:
http://www.phonejoy.net/pre-order.html
But they are only made in small batches. Orders are done through a pre-order system, and the pre-orders are sold out every time I check.
There's a good review of it here:
http://droidgamers.com/index.php/ga...-android-complete-with-dual-analog-sticks-now
That is nice, but the reason I liked the iControlPad is because it is slimmer and will fit in my bag with the transformer better.

I might have to grab an iControlPad myself. I heard about it a while back, but haven't checked on it in a while. Looks like it came together pretty well.
Looking to expand my game collection on the DNA to some serious games, that of GTA3 & nature. Since the PS3 controller doesn't work (yet:fingers-crossed due to BT stack being all screwy (thanks HTC), any other options available?
There's the moga controller for $50. It's a bit pricey but it works with the DNA.

At least you found it cheaper. I don't have one but apparently it works well from what I've read.

Yeah. I've found that Amazon can have some killer deals on some things you might be looking for, namely such.
the moga works well. i got one when they were giving them out for 5 bucks(just pay shipping). i use it from time to time. gets a little weird if you have it linked to a tablet and a phone like i have it for my nexus 7 and dna, but still works. you might just have to delink it and relink it to whichever you want to play at that time. definitely worth the money if you're big into console gaming on android.

Much appreciated for the info. I think I just might be sold on the moga, if it's still in stock by the time I can order it.
I own a Moga controller, use it for my Nexus 7. Pretty awesome gadget to have for mobile gaming!
the moga pro (if same price) might be better. looks way more awesome and probably feels really nice. unless you're going for portability... either one should be good.
I bought a Moga from Wal-Mart so that I could return it if I didn't like it... and I returned it. It irritated me that they went with proprietary support instead of as a general bluetooth gamepad. Most of what I wanted to use it with wouldn't work, and honestly the games that did support it seemed laggy. I'd let go of the thumbsticks and things would still keep moving. It's a shame, cuz it's a really slick controller, and that built-in clip is also awesome, but in the end it just didn't work for me. I also didn't care for the lack of a d-pad (yes, the pro has one, but I like the smaller form factor), and the buttons felt shallow and clicky and required too much pressure to use for my tastes.
I also tried the Nyko Playpad, and while I felt it was a better controller by having a d-pad and two more L/R buttons which were analog, I never got to actually use it because the damn thing didn't work at all on my DNA no matter what mode I used. My phone would "connect" to it, but the gamepad would still keep blinking at me as if it hadn't connected, and it never worked even for a moment.
Note to HTC: if you want to sell phones, stop needlessly f***ing them up. I love my phone, but I hate what they and Verizon have done to it... it'll probably be the first and last HTC phone I ever own, and that's a real shame.

Aside from my last post, has anyone tried a bluetooth gamepad that actually works besides the Moga? I'm dying to get my emulation on with a gamepad, and without root and roms I can't use my previous go-to, my PS3 controller. Actually, has anyone tried a PS3 controller through USB? I'm really curious to know what people have tried and what works with gamepads and the DNA.
the ps3 controller works with sixaxis app don't think it works with usb though.

It does not work on the DNA. Did you even try it?
He's right about the Bluetooth. I haven't tried it using CM yet, will probably try it later on today.

I have been enjoying using my PS3 controller on my phone for a while. Does the bluetooth stack have anything to do with firmware? If so it probably works for me because I'm running an AOSP ROM. I didn't try it on the stock ROM before I flashed a new one.
bump.any luck with any Bluetooth controllers on stock Rom with DNA? thanks
Hi i am looking for a Bluetooth mouse for this tablet! anyone knows a good one?
I personally will be using my Logitech V470. I recommend it, but it doesn't look like they sell them new anymore (looks like they're going for about $25-30 on eBay)

Honestly, any logitech mouse would be the best to use. They're incredibly reliable. You could even use an adapter (USB OTG cable) and buy a logitech usb mouse and keyboard for added functionality.
Recommended bluetooth mouse? = YOUR ANDROID SMARTPHONE
Google playstore: DroidMote Client (free) on your phone
Google playstore: DroidMote Server (paid) on your tablet (granted, you need to have your tablet rooted... a given when you're an XDA visitor)
The app is 3 bucks vs. whatever you'll end up paying for new hardware...boom! You just saved money.
Enjoy!
