Wireless Xbox Controller Issue

Hi,
This problem has been raised before on other threads, but I haven't been able to find a solution. Basically when I use my wireless xbox controller (wireless xbox usb dongle), the game camera will just spin. The only game I have that works is Riptide, the game I want to use it for is GTA 3. I know that nvidia states that the xbox wireless controller isn't supported, so this is a more of a "how do I get this to work thread".

I have used my wireless xbox controller in Dead Trigger and it worked out of the box. The only settings I had to changed were the buttons.
I think, rather than a driver or whatever complicated, you should check for in-game settings or small apps.

Maybe the IME needed to make it work isn't quite up to snuff. I noticed my Wiimote freaks out when using Bluez IME, but not under Wiimote controller. I'm going to clear the data and see if that helps. When I get my dock, I'll take a look at using my 360 controller through the dongle.

Yea I've tried that, it doesn't work. The game seems to think one of the buttons is constantly being pressed. When I try to remap a control it will always map it to the same button. But I half fixed this, I found my PS3 controller and I'm using that sixaxis app. I prefer the xbox controller but the PS3 controller is bluetooth, so no cords.

Does it do it in other games?

After using Sixaxispairtool. can you still connect wirelessly to ps3?

just want to make sure before i go ahead and change master bluetooth address.

I'm pretty sure when you plug the controller into the usb on the ps3 and hit the ps3 button it'll pair back to that.
Just like when you take your controller to a friends place you need to pair it with that ps3 using the above method.
I'll give it a quick try on mine I've got 4 controllers - do I just need the app? No special leads or anything?
Edit: Looks like I need a USB cable to pair it to the tablet so I can't check that part for you but I was able to pair with the ps3 again after I changed the bluetooth master address to the tablets one.
I hope that helps you.

Yea in order to use it agin to ps3, you needto plug it in using the mini usb to the ps3 ,but that will change the master address back to ps3's...you then need to change it again to the tablet's master address...

I'm pretty sure my first edit covered that but thanks for valuable input there.

Xbox 360 controller

I recently recieved my dock and decided to try and plug in my xbox controller into it. It plugged in fine but when I press the xbox button it didn't flash at all. Is there an app I need to download or is it something else? (I am unrooted and don't plan on rooting)

Wireless (with play and charge kit) or Wired controller?

Wireless with play and charge

Are you on ICS still or JB? Cause on ICS mine too didn't recognized it at first, but after some reboots it came to its senses. Ive played dead trigger and shadowgun just fine.
Haven't tried it still on JB
<EDIT> Ive just seen your post about having the wireless, mine is wired

On older versions of windows... the lights don't necessarily light up (haven't used it with 7 or vista) son it may be that its connected and working just not lit up...

Wireless doesn't work like that AFAIK. I'm unrooted as well but i got the wireless controller to work by purchasing and using an xbox 360 wireless gaming receiver. A 3rd party one should work

It didn't work for me when i tried which is what led me to buying the wireless gaming receiver

this will not work because the play & charge kit is a power-only connection, it's for recharging your battery only (i.e. no actual input data is transmitted via usb).
i haven't tried connecting an xbox controller to my transformer yet, but i guess you will need a wireless receiver at the very least...

I can confirm that the wireless receiver works

False.
My buddies and I use play and charge kits all the time on our laptops for long road trips. I happen to have a wired controller so I use that more often...

At least for _original_ Xbox 360 wireless controllers the Play & Charge kit does not transmit any input data via USB. (While that doesn't have to mean anything, Wikipedia seems to agree with me )
Just to make sure, I plugged in my wireless controller - while yes, an entry gets added to device manager, it does _not_ add an actual input device...for this to happen, a wireless receiver is needed.

I tried and tried to get my xbox 360 controller to work on my tablet with the play and charge usb. I finally gave up and got the bluetooth controller from Gamestop. It's not as solid of a controller but it works great so far.

xbox 360 controller?

has anybody gotten an xbox 360 wireless controller working?

Xbox isn't Bluetooth so I doubt it would work. I think some kind of adapter would be required, but uncertain if there's one that works with android.

yes and i have it working great on my Note 10.1, but my buddy has an xbox 360 controller and an asus tf300t so i figurednid comb his devices forum as hes not so tech saavy.

This is a useful article on getting your wireless Xbox controller to work with your tablet. You will need a wireless receiver, which can be bought for around £7. I wasn't able to get it working exactly, or was missing a file, so I downloaded the USBJoyService app. It detected my controller and and had to map the buttons in MD.emu (MegaDrive emulator).
I didn't find it 100% responsive. It felt laggy. I would prefer to either go for a wired Xbox controller, or get a PS3 controller, as it has bluetooth (though are expensive).

[Q] How can i configurate a ps3 wireless controller????

I bought a PS3 control TTX Tech brand, but I could not configure it, my computer does not detect it, my question is whether it is possible to use it with my INFINITY or can only used with the PS3

How does it connect? Special PS3 wireless thing, or bluetooth?

Alright, from the attached picture it seems like this controller uses RF to transmit to that dongle, so using the bluetooth method of connection isn't an option. Really I can't think of a direct way to do this. Perhaps if you have a port adapter for your tablet to make it into a standard USB 2.0 there could be a way to make it work, but without the exact details of your tablet and more info on the controller, that can't even be attempted.

Yes. The PS3 uses Bluetooth to connect controllers. That one uses RF which the PS3 doesn't have built in.

I believe the Sixasis app in the Play Store states that a lot of knock off controllers wrong work. If you don't hand an official PS3 controller, it's all worth the $60 to buy one!! I use my PS3 controllers with my phones and tablets. I've got one controller that I use solely with my Note 2, as I have a GameKlip mounted on the controller. Another controller I use with my Infinity and '13 N7 FHD. I use the Sixasis pairing tool program that I have installed on my laptop to switch between my Infinity and N7 FHD. Occasionally I'll use my OTG dock that I bought for my Note 2 to switch the controller to my N7 FHD. Even better when using the HDMI port on the Infinity and hooking it up to my 55" Sony LED TV! Dead Trigger is probably my favorite, but I've also bought all of the GTA games on the Play Store, and they're all great as well!! Android gaming is sooooo much better with a PS3 controller!!! Especially when hooked to my TV! Friends will walk in and think I'm playing on my PS3 or XBOX 360, and are always shocked when I first tell them that I'm playing through my tablet
I highly recommend buying a HDMI to micro HDMI cable, as well as an official controller!! I'm sure Asus will continue to put a micro HDMI cable in their future tablets, so the cable a good investment! The Asus Infinity successor definitely has the micro HDMI port on it.
Off topic, but I can't wait for the New Infinity! It's gonna be a beast with the Tegra 4 and all of its other specs!!!

PS3 controller
You dont need an special app! Play an game with the PS3 controller via USB and enable the Bluetooth. After 10 minutes you can find the controller in Bluetooth settings. Connect the controller via Bluetooth and now you can play without USB kable.
Sorry for my english

Were can you find the cheapest controller that works online do any off brands work or does it have to be a Sony one?

In the six-axis app description I believe it says using any controller other than the original Sony controller will not work and the control mapping will start messing up and won't work correctly so yes you do need the original controller. You could also try using MOGA controllers if that's what you prefer but I don't think it works with the six-axis app
