One of the reasons I got my g table is to use it as a substitue for my labtop.
Even though my laptop is small enough, sometimes it is hard to cary it arround, as I keep it by my side 24/7. As I do most of my work on the super computer using ssh, I though the 'g tablet' can replace my laptop. USB keyboard seemed to work just fine until I tried control key on the keyboard. Control key simple does not work at call on g Tablet(Probably on all android system), and ctrl key is so critial to me as I use emacs! Emacs user would know what no control key means to emacs. Thus, I wonder if anyone knows how to utiliza the control key on the USB keyboard. Softkeybord can not be a solution considering I would use control key more than 1000 times per connection. Thank you.
Is Bluetooth keyboard working better?
I have seen lots of posts about using bluetooth keyboard.
I wonder if ctrl key and alt key are working with bluetooth keyboard.
Anyone?
I've been trying to find some of the best apps for adding a PS3 controller via bluetooth for my N64oid app. I've found some great mappings on here, but I'm curious if there's any way I can enable more than one controller using this combination of the two apps.
I heard N64oid supports multiplayer with no problem, but SixAxis I'm just not sure about. Has anyone heard anything or tried it out?
I have not tried it, but from looking at the two apps, it should be very easy.
In sixaxis, go to Menu > Preferences > Input Mappings > and select 2nd or high controller. Then map keyboard values to the controller (be sure to not use buttons that are taken for another controller). Lastly, go into the N64oid settings and map the second controller.
Let me know how it works!

Hey, thanks for the support, I tried this but when I do both my PS3 controllers (connected via wires) have the same input buttons as far as N64oid is concerned...Like up on controller one is the same as up on controller two... Is there something I'm doing wrong?
I'd also like to know if the transformer will actually charge the controllers and connect via bluetooth, so far I've only used wired.
Thanks!

Are you using the sixaxis app and having this problem, or is this just using the native usb gamepad support? If it's the latter, than I don't have an answer; I don't even know if the native support allows multiple controllers. If you are using the sixaxis app, then be sure that the key mappings within that program are seperate, before you try and map within N64oid (basically have to map things twice, first the controller to keyboard values (within sixaxis), then those values to N64 keys (within N64oid)).
Don't know about charging over usb, I want to say yes, but I can't back that up. As for bluetooth, you can do it (it is what I do), but it requires an app like sixaxis (which requires root).
It works. All you have to do is get the Sixaxis Pair tool (make sure you have a computer nearby and a usb cable) and then when you open n64oid, to to input>key mappings> enable controller 1 + 2 and then set the appropriate controls. If this doesn't work, go to other settings>and check use input method
EDIT: Make sure it's compatible using the compatibility checker

Couldn't get this to work for me. Got both controllers connected but could not not get them to differentiate between the two. everything controls player 1
kinda solution
i have kinda got this working now, was able to successfully play 2 player mario cart today.
in sixaxis here is what i did....
once you have both controllers paired to the phone and change IME is set to sixaxis.
go to preferences
go to game pad settings
make sure enable gamepad is NOT CHECKED
go to edit mappings and make sure everything is as its supposed to be up is up, left is left, right is right, etc etc.
now open n64oid
go to settings
go to input settings
go to key mappings
enable controller 1
load profile 1
clear all the settings so everything says "none"
leave d-pad left, right, up, down as <none> (for some reason i havent figured out yet, if you set these it stops the other controller working). then do the following
c-left, right, up and down are also mapped as <none> (i dont know what these do either)
then map the following buttons of controller 1
start
button A
button B
L trigger
R trigger
Z trigger
(map those buttons to whatever buttons you want)
analog left, analog right, analog up, analog down, (map these to the analog directions on the left analog stick of controller 1)
leave the rest as <none>
scroll back up to the top as save it as profile 1
now
enable controller 2
load profile 2
clear all the settings so everything says "none"
leave d-pad left, right, up, down as <none> (for some reason i havent figured out yet, if you set these it stops the other controller working). then do the following
c-left, right, up and down are also mapped as <none> (i dont know what these do either)
then map the following buttons of controller 2
start
button A
button B
L trigger
R trigger
Z trigger
(map those buttons to whatever buttons you want)
analog left, analog right, analog up, analog down, (map these to the analog directions on the left analog stick of controller 2)
leave the rest as <none>
scroll back up to the top as save it as profile 2
--------now it should work hopefully for both players to have an effective race------
one thing i found weird is when mapping the analog stick of controller 1 it saved all the directions for both analog sticks and the joypad directions as d-pad left, right, up, down regardless of which one you used to map the key
but for controller 2 it saved the directions as unknown 17, unknown 18 for analog left and righ on both analog sticks
analog up =A analog down =B again for both analog sticks
on the joypad it was up =C down =D
left = A
right = B
i'm hoping someone can take this information and refine it a bit to make more sense but maybe this will help some people troubleshoot a bit further. I'd love to figure out how to get this working for 4 controllers but having seen how it is above im not sure if it will be possible. Also to get it working for golden eye might also be tricky.
thanks and good night.
hello i have a similar question. If i put one ps3 gamepad with sixaxis controller could i use at the same time a bluetooth gamepad in order to play multiplayer games?
Because i am not right now on my android tv box i can not recall if i get sixaxis controller i could use to pair at the same with bluetooth gamepad. I will try though later so i could give a feedback, if anybody cares.
Hello to all, sorry for the long title but i wanted to make it clear.
Here's the situation, I sometimes play emulated games on my Galaxy S3 and as you may realize, the virtual on-screen gamepad isn't very comfortable when on my home (it gets the job done if i'm using it as a portable console) so I decided that i wanted to use an USB Gamepad i own to play my games in a more comfortable way. I know i can just go and get an OTG cable, and i will try to get one these days, but I fear they might not sell them here and I'm not a fan of buying stuff online.
My initial solution was to use My Mobiler for Android , as it allows to use the pc keyboard and mouse on the phone after connecting via wifi or usb, together with Xpadder, a software to map my gamepad to keyboard keys. While this gets me to the point of being able to navigate my phone using the gamepad, when i try to set up the Input in the emulators they will make a distinction between the arrows and Return keys (which seem to be taken as the Hardware DPAD buttons, that's why i can navigate the phone and use those functions in-game) and the other keys in my physical keyboard, which won't work if mapped to game buttons (A,B,L,R, etc) but will work if mapped to emulator options such as Savestates or Fastforward.
This is really disappointing as I actually thought i could save on the OTG cable by using this, but being things as they are, I'd like to ask if anyone can give me a hint on how to make this work the way I want it, or if by any chance someone (devs specially) would be up to the task of developping a server/client app that would work as Gamepad-to-Phone version of Xpadder (mapping the gamepad buttons as Phone-Hardware keys (Camera, Power, Back, Menu, Volume Up, Volume Down, DPAD) with MyMobiler's capabilty to connect with the phone via wifi and send remote input to it by installing an "Input Method" as well. I know this might require root but my phone is rooted already so that'd be fine for me, and I'm sure I'm not the only one that would use such an app to play games more easily without buying extra cables, which is why i'd ask anyone that decides to take on such a project to make it free because it isn't a very profitable project as people would rather buy an OTG cable or use other bluetooth/wireless controllers to play instead.
So any help/suggestion/advice will be greatly appreciated
Sorry for the double post, but I thought this would be better for those who already saw the topic, in case they're interested on doing the same I did.
In the end I managed to make it work with My Boy (Gba emulator) by using MyMobiler's hardware mapping for volume +/-, back, search and menu buttons and the DPAD (F10,F9, ESC, F2, F3, arrows and Enter) and now i can more or less play emulated games, as long as they don't require any buttons aside from select, start and 4 other buttons. As I said, emulator's own actions such as save, load, fast forward or opening emulator settings can be mapped to any other non-hardware key.
Still it would be great if there was an Input Method that would make the emulators recognize other hardware keys (as if there was a complete hardware keyboard for example), I've tried GBC.Emu with my workaround and it's useless.. It recognizes the volume +/-, menu and search buttons as Virtual; and only the Back and DPAD as mobiler_keyboard. making it unplayable this way (you'd need at least 4 buttons aside from the Dpad).
Exactly what I was looking for....
This is somewhat similar to what I am looking for.I am searching for a tool that would send information to my android over local Wifi (same router) via usb. For example, I want to connect my xbox360 controller to my pc and use it as a game controller for my android over wifi. I tried OTG, but unfortunately my hardware dont support it...and I wondered if at all this idea would work. Any help here?
I have a problem with the mapping stuff, ok so i installed bluez ime cuz it didnt work with ipega game center app. And now i start it off by entering joystick mode and connecting it via bluetooth to my LF Optimus f6 lte(4.1.2 version android) and it responds ok. But the button mapping is all wrong, for instance i press Y button it maps it as L1 and as far as L1 goes it doesnt respond. Nor does r1 respond. I have the problem with the epsxe emulator aswell. Joystick mode is ****ed up in general. So i hook it up in icade mode and i manage to map it somehow, and now my characters start running into the wall my themselves, it happens in every game. the characters just walk on their own in 1 direction, its annoying. Im hoping someone can share some knowledge on the topic and provide me with a solution? Be that teaching me how to use joystick mode(if im doing something wrong) or fixing the issues in icade mode with characters running into wall. Doesnt matter which, id just like to start using the controller on emulator and im hoping for correct mapping.
***** SEE MY UPDATED POST FURTHER BELOW FOR ALL OF THE KEYBOARD COMMANDS I DISCOVERED THAT WORK ON THE NEXUS PLAYER *****
View attachment 3020831I easily got my Logitech DiNovo Mini to connect. Make sure it is switched to PC mode and that you are also in "pairing mode" . Once the Nexus Player finds it, you will be prompted to enter the pin. Just type in the pin using the DiNovo keyboard and you are in.
I tested out most of the standard keyboard stuff and so far it is working flawlessly One neat thing I tested was the on board mouse pad. It works better than expected essentially giving you "touch" capabilities to the Nexus player screen. Just make sure you have the button switched from arrow mode to mouse mode.
Here is the Logitech product support link:

Amazon Link:

This maybe a stupid question but should I get the Bluetooth model or the wireless model? I assume you are referring to the bluetooth model.
Did you use the bluetooth dongle to connect?
I'm not using it right now and can't get the keyboard to work, mouse works but i can't type anything.
Also i cant find any "back" button.
No dongle was used and I used the bluetooth model. All I did was press the red pairing button on the bottom (beneath plastic sheild) and once I had a flashing red light, I did the bluetooth scan from the nexus player. You will be prompted to enter a number code once it connects. just enter the numbers in and press enter on the diNovo and your all set. I really love the mouse pad. has come in very handy for some of the apps that don't all the way support the nexus remote. I too have not really found a "back" button yet (** UPDATE ** See my post further below). I'm sure in some form or fashion it exists with a shift or alt button key press. My keyboard fully works too so I'm not sure why your keyboard is not working. try pairing it again.
** UPDATE ** Back Key
After playing around with my diNovo, I discovered that the "WINDOWS" key activates search mode (pressing the right directional button thereafter enters you in to keyboard/typing mode).
In addition, pressing WINDOWS + BACK keys performs the same function as the BACK button on the Nexus Remote.
** updated keyboard commands ** love this thing!
Ok guys, I spent the day using my diNovo Mini and I am loving this thing more and more, This is funny because I originally purchased this guy about 4-5 years ago to use with my Home Theater PC and PS3 (this guy has a switch on the bottom that allows it to pair with either system), it was so small and easy to use. After some time I had stopped using it and it sat in a box for about 2 years of no use. When I got my Nexus Player I decided to take a look at it again just to see what it can do. As I mentioned in my 1st post I had no problems getting it to pair and work with my Nexus Player. After installing the Lollirock Rom by Zulu99. I successfully paired it again and put it through the ringer. I love how well this guy really works with Android. I know some people are happy with their full keyboard/mouse setup but I hate having all of that clunkyness all over the place. In my opinion the diNovo Mini is the perfect solution for my setup and use.
Here are the updated keyboard commands that I have tested with the Lollirock ROM. I am sure they also apply to the stock Nexus Player ROM since I was using some of them already before I flashed the Lollirock ROM.
Mouse pad = Touch Screen capabilities
OK+Mouse pad = same as above with drag-n-drop/screen drag
Mouse Pad / Directional switch = used interchangeably throughout depending on what app you are using. Directional mode is standard up/down/left/right movement with key press to select item. Mouse Pad mode is full screen "touch" capabilities, key press down to select. (remember to use the "OK" key for drag/drop functionality)
Left Windows Key = Google Now Search/Voice Search
Left Windows Key + Back <-- = Back/Minimize (every now and then this may not work and you have to mouse down to the on screen buttons)
FN+ESC = same functionality (more responsive)
FN+PC (power) = Screen Off (not a power off, any key press awakens the screen again)
FN + ie Explorer = Home Screen
FN + Music Key = Opens Music Player (Google Music)
stop, play/pause, fwd, bwd = Fully functional media keys when music is playing
Right Windows Button + spkr up/dn = System Volume up/down (also clicking on this window while open with mouse pad alows other volume/alert settings)
alt+spkr up/dn = same functionality as above
** The rechargeable battery life is amazing. I used this little guy the entire day with VERY heavy use and not once did it stutter. not sure how many days it can go without a charge. I just plug the charger back in to it at night when I am done.
Let me know if anyone else has been using the diNovo and has discovered any other key combinations that I have not listed above.
oh man, I have the 2.4 ghz version with the unifying receiver. I wonder if it will work via OTG . Used it with my Windows HTPC until I got the nexus player. Should've bought the bluetooth version.
And yes, the battery life is amazing, I was usually charging mine once a month.
update:
The 2.4 ghz Unify receiver version of this keyboard works Plug n Play as well.
Thank you so much for the detailed info!
Since I already flashed the Lolirock rom, I will try to scout for a sh diNovo, maybe there are guys not using it and selling for a bargain.
The NP stock remote is quite limited and noisy at night for my taste and I was already thinking about a fire tv remote instead.
diNovo Mini is a top bluetooth keybord device
Since I already flashed the Lolirock rom (Android 5) by Zulu99, after reading this topic I bought a good sh diNovo, for a bargain. All that chibluboy said about the functioning of the device is true. I also love how well this device pairs and works with Android. The really good thing is that it's so small and ergonomic! Battery life is a dream. For an older device this one rocks, no wonder it was expensive as new.
---------- Post added at 23:27 ---------- Previous post was at 23:16 ----------
I have flashed the new Android 6 ROM developed again by Zulu99 for the Nexus Player. May he live long and prosper!
Logitech diNovo Mini works flawlessly with Android Marshmallow too. Bluetooth connection very stable with this excellent ROM. Since I have an amazon basics usb 3.0 hub attached to the Nexus Player, I have discovered that the bluetooth dongle supplied with the diNovo Mini is also working very well and maintains a stable connection.
I am using the Dinovo Edge which is essentially a larger keyboard version of the Mini. All the functions work exactly as described above. Thanks!
OTG cable?
