So I have an original Elite controller that I am attempting to use with the Moto G8 Power. I want make it my dedicated emulation device. With that said, I am having a hard time getting the Xbox One controller working over OTG. The OG elite does not have Bluetooth support.
My PS3 controller works but it's not in the best shape.
I was wondering if there was a way to add support for the controller, especially because it works when opening the Steam Link app. I want to be able to use it with other apps.
Are you using magisk? There is a module called 1controller that should allow it to function. Not sure if you will be able to get it working out of the box, or it may not be compatible with all games.
I was hoping I wouldn't have to root but I'll give it a shot
@TaZeR369 Thanks for the help. Unfortunatly it's only a mapping module it doesn't appear it's helped with detecting the controller.
Edit: I also found that The controller is detected via USB/BT Joystick Center but the the keys won't register and the light doesn't come one.

Which game controller do you recommend? I'm mainly looking to use it on my tab for emulators and whatever android games are compatible with a controller.
I was looking at a sixaxis just because it looks like it can connect wirelessly with the app but I'd be willing to buy a USB connector and flash a kernel to make a controller compatible. Also I don't know if the dual shock 3 controller works with the sixaxis app. (I'm not sure if that's an entirely different thing)
I guess I'm mainly wondering which controller is most compatible, meaning full joy stick control and things like that.
Thanks if you can help me out!
I'm currently using my PS3 controller with the new Sixaxis App from the store. All you need is Root access and to pair your PS3 controller with a PC to tell it what your tablets Bluetooth MAC address is and it should work. I've been using it ever since with all my emulators and it works like it's supposed to.
There is also an app from the same dev to test if the controller works with your device but if its a GT 10.1 and a regular PS3 controller there shouldn't be an issue.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
If not I'm probably going to grab a sixaxis but I want to be sure I'm getting the best since I'm not tied down to a controller for a console I already own.
Thanks
There is already another Q & A thread started by me from a while ago where some people listed a few alternatives. Just search the Q & A forum or check the first few pages and you will find the thread. Since I already own a PS3 and the other controllers aren't that available in my country it was an easy choice for me. Hope that helps.
Hi, i got and Galaxy S3 with no root.
I bought an fake PS3 controller that works directly with an OTG cable. It work very well and I can directly navigate and use it in games.
But with some games, i need to remap the controller to be able to play (for example the analog sticks). I downloaded USB/BT Joystick Center 6, but it dosent find the controller when i tap "search". I wonder if I need somehow disable the native support for the PS3 controller so the USB/BT app will recognize it? If so, how can i do that?

The only real games you can play will be native ones and emulators. Remapping the keys isn't going to work unless its an official ps3 controller and your using the six axis app. Then create some touch profiles.
USB joy center is best used for Xbox 360 controllers. I've never had to use anything else with my ps3 controllers besides six axis app.
Also did you buy the app? (I'm not accusing you either) the cracked version won't work properly.

I'm not sure how much research you've done on this already, so I'll cover the basics.
You will need to use either a USB OTG to connect the controller with a cable, or be rooted and use the SixAxis app to connect using the PS3 Bluetooth system.
The last time I used the SixAxis app, it wasn't compatible with Android 5.0. Check this out first before purchasing.

The other guy is right, get an OTG cable if you aren't rooted, or you can go wireless and use the SixAxis app. I use the SixAxis app(I'm rooted) and it works flawlessly on 5.0.1. If you go to Gamepad Settings and pick that you want the PS3 controller to be read as a gamepad, it even works natively with the shield tablet, the buttons are mapped on the controller as they are with the shield controller, and when you launch games, it acts like you have a shield controller setup! You can even do the hold-start-to-open-button-mapping with the PS3 controller!
Thanks you very much! Can you confirm me that all games are compatible? Or there is one that have any problem...?

All games that are compatible with the shield controller is compatible, because like I said, when you connect the PS3 controller, the system acts like you just connected an nvidia shield controller. For games that don't have gamepad compatibility, you can hold the start button to bring up an on screen button mapper and place buttons and joysticks in the locations you want.
Excelent! I will buy it

For NVidia Game Mapper, the game you are trying to set up controller maps for must at least have some sort of native controller code implemented.
For example, there are some pinball games that I tried to create a game map for using the Game Mapper. The button assignments would not work. At all.
In some ways, the NVidia Controller is limited by the Nvidia Gamepad Software. Which is a real shame, because the Shield Controller is a great piece of hardware.
If you are using SixAxis, you can set the app to treat all connected PS3 controllers as "Native Controllers".
You can also set up both a touch profile and use the native controller features already included in some games (this is referred to as "hybrid controller mode"). For example, Zen Pinball HD has basic native controller support implemented. But it doesn't have analog plunge for the ball launch. You can set up just the Right Analog Stick as a touch profile, and use the native features to control everything else.

The on-screen NVidia Key Mapper, like I specifically pointed out, only works for some games. Which is why...

...I provided a "long, drawn out" answer. For someone not used to SixAxis and the powerful options it offers for game mapping (hybrid mode/native controller mode) it is long, drawn out info like this that will allow folks to get the most out of the app.
I also don't feel I repeated your information. I added specific information relating to SixAxis features that your two posts didn't contain.
Sorry to bother you guys but I'm looking for a way to use a gamepad without spending 70 euros on Nvidia's right now. So to see if I got what you said before right, if I'm rooted and install SixAxis I can use a PS3 controller as if it were an Nvidia controller with the device?
Just to clarify your understanding... you DO NOT have to root the device. You only need to root it if you want to use it wirelessly. You can use a USB OTG(which is a few $/€ on amazon) without rooting your device and plug it in directly.

I have an OTG cable and I tried plugging it in this way, it works but the mapping isn't very good, for example Mimpy which is also supposed to be Tegra optimized doesn't work, I can go back and forth with the left joystick (or the arrows) but I can't use the other side of the gamepad to jump as I should. If I connect it wirelessly and use SixAxis does the mapping resemble Nvidia's own gamepad or will I still have the same issues?
hi!
I've recently bought the fire HD 6, and was thinking if there are any compatible bluetooth game controllers.
I was thinking to connect it to the TV and use it as a sort of android game console.
Thank you very much
Root and use a PS3 controller is probably your best bet.
The Ouya controller work just fine. Just press the OUYA button (located on the low center in the controller), and when two light start blinking, search as any device at bluethooth menu.
The Ouya controller has an integrated touchpad and can be used as a mouse on your screen. But if you're planning to play a game, remember it's depend if that game has the controller button mapping or you'll need to use Tincore Keymapper to do it manually.
I already rooted my KHD6, so I did the controller test after root, but I'm pretty sure you don't need the root to make it work. I use the same controller on my NON-ROOTED Fire Stick TV and works just fine.
PS4 Controller works like a charm, Played Pokemon On Myboy for a little while, while it was linked to my Chromecast.
I would say a PS4 Controller works out of the box as well, as I wasent rooted at the time.

I just bought this controller about week ago and it work with HD6 (I only use GBC,GBA, and Drastic emulators). They work good so far. I haven't test any Android games yet, but I assume it work fine. This controller is awesome. I used with my HD6, phone, and laptop. Recommended!

Is there anyone that has found a solution for using a game controller (PS3, PS4, XBOX ONE, ect) to emulate touch controls for touch screen only games? I know I have rooted my installation and attempted to install the sixaxis app, since I had already bought it for one of my previous devices, but it always fails to configure Bluetooth. Are there any apps out there that can accomplish this that we currently know are working with this wonderful os...?
I tried 2 bluetooth gamepads made for Android, one of them can use the D-pad and ABXY in system but doesnt work in game, another gamepad doesn't work at all
Hope they fix/add support for gamepad soon so we can enjoy games on pc/laptop with no touchscreen support (I really wanted to play Implosion).
Try GameKeyboard +
I use it to emulate onscreen the physical gamepad to play nvidia shield exclusive Portal on Xiaomi Mi3, but I also see options to map physical gamepad or keyboard or even mice; might you find it useful.

Use "Sixaxis Enabler" from the playstore. Works fine for me.

I'll give this and game keyboard a try... With sixaxis enabler, it sounds like all it does is make android recognize it as an android controller. If that is correct, then I don't need that due to the fact that remix os recognizes it as a controller just by plugging it in, but I need touchscreen emulation for apps that don't support controllers.
Bluestacks has some kind of keyboard control apk built in?
I tried it with Real Racing 3 and could steer, accelerate and brake using direction keys on a physical keyboard. But the graphics for the game itself weren't represented well and I switched to RemixOS. Which looks perfect in full screen, but alias there is no way to steer or brake.
