Has anyone bought this:
http://www.onlive.com/controller
I want to know if this works in emulators and such, and not just OnLive.
I've tried a PS3 controller connected via sixaxis, and it doesnt work in Onlive. I might consider this if it worked in onlive and emulators.
I'm not certain about the OnLive controller, but in the faq at OnLives site there is this...
---------------------
Can I use a controller with the OnLive Game Service?
Yes. The controllers currently supported are:
•OnLive Wireless Controller (OnLive Game System only)
•Microsoft® Xbox 360® Controller for Windows
•Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows (requires the Microsoft Wireless Gaming Receiver)
•Logitech® ChillStream™
•Logitech® F510
•Saitek® P3200 Rumble Pad
•Mad Catz® GamePad
----------------------
Not sure because I've not tried. But I would guess that one or more of those will do what you are asking.
That said I would like to know the answer to your question as well. Looks like a great controller.
I do have this controller, but I do not have any hd dock or lapdock to test it out for you
He wants to know if OnLive's Universal Controller will work with any of the emulators on his phone, such as SNESoid, NESoid, MAMEoid, and so forth. Sixaxias Controller is an app that lets you connect and use a PS3 controller on your Android device.
I had the same issues with Sixaxis Controller and Wiimote Controller with OnLive. I think this is because both of those are mapping functions to some kind of keyboard function, whereas OnLive's app does not any any keyboard function build into it to use native keyboard. I was able to do limited stuff such as play the "getting started" video because one of the buttons acted like the "s" button on a keyboard.
I have preorder the controller, but I order after they changed the estimated shipping date to the 20th. I don't know if any controllers have been shipped yet. I have heard of some people being able to connect a Xbox 360 controller to their phone with USB adapter for the wireless dongle; so in theory, you may be able to use it with the phone.
Bump, looking for the same thing, anyone tested the controller with GTA3/emulators/etc? Does Bluez IME work?
There's a thread in the Flyer/View forum where a member states that it does work with emulators. I believe that HC 3.2+ is required for tablets and ICS for phones in order for it to work, though.
Has anyone been able to use the sixaxis controller simply by just plugging it in with a usb otg or is it still more complicated than that? Do you still need the sixaxis app for it to work correctly?
I'm also curious to know this
I was only able to pair the controller via otg cable and the app. That's better than always reconnecting the controller with my PC when I played on my PS3 before.
Is playing via bluetooth not a possibility for you?
Shadowgun is working fine for me with bluetooth. I don't like it when cables are hanging around and it's better when I play on my TV via MHL.
I just tried the new function of the sixaxis app which emulates the onscreen controls in Nova 2. That was still buggy for me, only moving worked.
I have the Nexus 7 from 2013 and I would like to connect a PS3 or Xbox 360 controller with a USB connection. I've read that connecting them with Bluetooth would require me to "root" the tablet, but I don't want to do that because it will void my warranty. Is it true that I can easily use those controllers WITHOUT rooting the tablet if I connect them with a USB wire?
I've read that people have connected controllers with joysticks that worked incorrectly because the joysticks would only move in four directions instead of the full range of a joystick. They would only move up or down or left or right like a D-pad without the various motions in between that a full joystick can do.
Some people have said that some controllers require the tablet to be rooted before the joysticks work and some people say they can use this program instead: "USB/BT Joystick center GOLD"
I know people have to use an App called "sixaxis controller" if they use the PS3 controller with Bluetooth, but is it also required if people connect the controller with a USB wire? Will the PS3 controller work perfectly if connected with USB and without being rooted?
I'm so confused after reading so many Google results about this! Can anyone tell me exactly how I would get a PS3 or Xbox controller to work with this tablet without having to root the device? I need every button to work and I need the joysticks to work correctly instead of only having four directions like a d-pad! I want to try emulators!
Thanks for any help! I would hate to spend money on a PS3 controller only to find out that it's not going to work! Then I have to waste my time returning it!

Android supports both x360 and ps3 controllers plugged in via USB without root.

Just went through the directions and successfully updated CWM and installed the boot menu. Took a few tries to get CyanogenMod to boot up but once I wiped the user data and reinstall it booted up fine.
Question, is the OUYA controller useless once in CyanogenMod? Do I need a keyboard/mouse to use it properly? What is the fan favorite for devices to replace the awkward controller?
Thanks.

This. I can't type from my OUYA remote to the onscreen keyboard. I've searched to find a way to enable this feature and couldn't find anything that would. I would think adding OUYA Remote as an input device might do it (Keyboard & Input in CM Settings) But, there is no option to access it.
I tried dl'ing Six Axis and it got late so I wasn't able to mess with it too much, but, it didn't seem like it was going to work. Essentially, I just want to be able to select the letters of the onscreen keyboard with the Ouya controller. Has anyone had better luck?
I have really retired my OUYA controller. Multi port USB hub with a USB keyboard, for recovery work, wireless mouse and a Bluetooth keyboard are my choices. I don't much care for games so this is just an HTPC for me. XBMC, Pandora, some weather apps, Facebook and tumblr. I haven't even tried the controller with any android games. Does it work in that respect?

Ive not actually tried it. It Navigates ok with wireless xbox 360 controller, so I`d guess its ok. Seriously, get a cheap wireless keyboard and mouse, for pref, not a bluetooth one but one with a dongle. Bought mine for £15 and its a joy to use. Browsing on a nice big TV is awesome.
You need to manually link the ouya controller in the blue tooth setting menu. Put the controller into discovery more than select find BT devices. You only need to do this once
[edit]this should probably be moved to general
This has probably been said in other forums, but I found this xbox 360 controller receiver through watching a youtube video
(between https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrTmsZIb0a8 and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWCpVIsYgeU)
Amazon Link

Just hook it up to the Shields usb, click the button on the receiver and the controller to sync, and just like that you can have 4 other controllers for multiplayer games.
I haven't yet figured out how to get the xbox 360 controllers LED to stop flashing
I used to use one of those with my laptop to play emulators. The controllers never do stop flashing. They are working correctly, but they just flash the whole time. Always did. However unless you are super OCD it's probably not a big problem.

Did you have any problem using Xbox controller and Shield controller at same time (co-op gaming)?
NSTV can´t recognize Xbox controller as a second gamepad, so in games with co-op I can't use them both...

Nop. Contacted Nvidia, but they say that don't support other controllers....
My only solution is: restart NSTV with only the Xbox controllers connected when I want to use multiple controllers. Otherwise restart NSTV with the Xbox controllers disconnected.

OK, so co-op is possible but only with multiple controllers from one brand, so either the xbox ones or the ones from the shield, but it's not possible to play co-op with one shield and one xbox controller. Did i understand that Right?

Yes. That only happens with wired controllers.
If you use a bluetooth controller it works fine with NSTV controller (only tested with a Xiaomi gamepad). The only problem is key mapping... I can´t use L and R buttons.
there are some games, that don't recognize other controllers than nvidia, but not many.

If you don't mind a bit of extra work, and your Shield is rooted, you can buy a non-Microsoft adapter for a quarter of the price. You need to make a few changes to the /system/usr/keylayout/ folder, but it takes no more than 5 minutes. I paid just £4.75 for my adapter off eBay with free delivery.

what is the change i need to make?

thanks
Will this change change fix the dpad not working, with cheap adapter? I'm currently building a arcade stick using a wireless controller board and the lack of a dead is giving me headaches.
Hi all,
Did anyone got this working? I have a xbox360 wireless controller and an Nvidia Shield remote controller but am not able to play Mortal Kombat with both controllers simultaneously... ?
I actually played Rocket League with the Nvidia Controller and 3 wireless xbox controller. It worked after I started the game with the Nvidia controller and then connected the wireless receiver for the xbox controller. I was so happy that it worked!
But then I realized that all my other games - which have co-op gaming - do not support this! But rocket league proves that it is technically possible...
Did anyone got this thing to work for other co-op games?
This thread has put my mind at ease a bit. I connected one 360 pad with the wireless dongle and was really annoyed that it was also Player 1 like the Shield Pad. The flashing light was also odd. I have some more 360 pads though so will try for 4 player this evening
It's so stupid: we can play Bombsquad with one SATV controller and one Xbox360 with Microsoft adapter, but it doesn't work on Trine 2.
Is it possible to connect 2 xbox360 wireless usb adapter to my Shield-TV? I wanna use 8 xbox360 wireless controller.

Tried to connect Xbox 1 controller to my SHield (2017), but unfortunately no dice.
I want to use more than one Gamepad at the Nvidia Shield (2017).
I can stream games from my desktop-PC via GameStream in GeForce Experience to the NV-Shield. This works fine, but not for Multiplayer games like Duckgame for example.
I tested connecting 2 XBOX360 Cable –Gamepads: They both work, but they both control player one.
I tested 2 XBOX360 Wireless Controller with the Microsoft dongle: Both gamepads work but they all control player one.
I tested XBOX One Wireless Controller with the big Dongle: The controllers doesn't work at all.
I tested XBOX One Wireless Controller (Bluetooth): Controller works but only controls player one.
I tested all combinations from the different controller including the Nvidia controller, but all controllers only control player one.

You should check out: https://www.virtualhere.com/
This guy is made a damn great software, supported all known OS's!
Sideload the app onto your shield and the software to the pc. Then you can use your XBOX-360 wireless adapter on your pc. All should work.
You can use share 1 usb device in free-client mode.
