Hey dudes,
I have a wired 360 controller and tried plugging it into my note 8.All I get is a blinking green circle on the controller and nothing on the note. Anyone know how to get it working? I'm using an OTG micro to usb cable.

I thought that although the PS3 controler is plug and play with andoid, the 360 controller is not, or at least not very easily set up.
I use my PS3 controller both as a plug and play controller and as a bluetooth controller (when I can be bothered to set it up, loading the address into it can be a bit of a pain since I use it with my PS3 as well).
Has anyone been able to get a wired Xbox 360 controller working with the Note 2 (using USB/BT Joystick Center)?
I'm running Cyanogenmod 10.2 and using USB/BT Joystick Center to map the controller buttons.
USB/BT Joystick Center does recognize my controller (I'm using an OTG cable to connect it to my phone) and I'm able to map the buttons on the controller but the app restarts itself and drops the connection to the controller every few minutes when the controller is plugged in.
I know the cable is connected securely because when I wiggle the OTG cable Joystick Center does not see the controller as disconnected.
I would email the dev of the app but based on his responses in the app reviews he probably wouldn't be of any help.
Also, I have installed different ROMS (Slimkat) to see if it may have been a bug with Cyanogenmod but I had the same problem with USB/BT Joystick Center restarting every few minutes when the controller was plugged in.
I'm using a powered usb hub firetv 2, only 1 wired 360 controller works at a time, same with ps4, but both work same time together, but everything controls player 1 on emulators? Any help please want to play wrestlefest on name and n64 games on mophen64 but all controllers, control player 1

I'm having a similar issue that both of my controllers are recognized the same on emulators. I have a BT Ouya and a Wireless Logitech F710. On FTV games they're both usable at the same time, but with emulators they give the same inputs.
I am currently using the Sixaxis app with sony ps3 dualshock controller to control my fire tv - it works great - has support for home button, mouse mode and can be customized very well.
My only problem is that, the controller will not charge no matter what - from the fire tv directly, or when connected to pc, or from a wall charger.
The only way to charge it is to reset it (via the small pinhole in the back), or connect it to ps3 - this will make it lose the pairing with the fire tv and it will start charging again. I will have to set the bluetooth address again via the SixaxisPairTool from PC to get it to pair with the fire tv again.
My first question is - does the charging work for you after you have used the SixaxisPairTool from PC?
I also have a gamestop red samurai v2 controller. This pairs and works with the fire tv without any special app. However, misses mouse control.
I went through the threads here and understand that by creating a custom keyboard.kl file we can get the behavior we want for that controller. Can that idea be used to control mouse behavior as well? Any pointers would be welcome.
Thanks.

hah, so you're here as well... I also have/had ps3 controller paired with sixaxis, but I haven't used it for a while and ATM does need to be charged with actual PS3.
So, to answer your question PS3 controller did work(charged via phone charger and xbox one usb) for me after it was paired with sixaxis for long time until eventually I stopped using it and then ran out of juice. Now it needs PS3 to charge again (maybe once), before I can reuse wall charger. Problem is, I don't have PS3 on me.
yep. the ps3 controller with sixaxis app works so beautifully with both regular apps and side loaded apps (that require mouse), it is a shame that it cannot be charged.
i have it setup such that the right analog is mouse (always in mouse mode), left analog is rew/ff/prev/next, d-pad is d-pad, L1 and R1 are left and right mouse, etc.
the problem is the sixaxis tool works only with sony ps3 controller. is there any other app like this that will do the same with any controller? thanks.

well there are xbox 360 and xbox one controllers "how to" here, but I haven't tried them since both somewhat requires usb cable or dongle because they are not bluetooth based. and just repeating myself here, but ps3 controller does charge using other options and NOT ps3 only. BUT if it dies, then PS3 is required to recharge because you'll have to reset it.
ok. i am not sure why the charging does not work for me though. it won't even charge from PC once the SixAxisPairTool changes the mac address.
i saw the tincore app and i am planning to try it today with my gamestop controller.
How did you configure the sixaxis controller app? Whenever I try to connect the controller it never finds it even if i have the correct bluetooth address paired.
SUCCESS with tincore app. configuration is a bit difficult due to access via the fire tv remote and due to some menu items not showing up fully. however, once configured, the gamestop red samurai v2 remote works flawlessly - for necessary buttons as well as mouse.
i cannot get it to auto apply on restart and will investigate that later. for now, i am happy . thanks.

not sure what you are missing, but you can try this:
1. start the sixaxis server in fire tv and get the bluetooth address from bottom left
2. use the SixaxisPairTool in PC to set that address on the controller (for good measure you can reset the controller first by the pinhole in the back)
3. now pressing the glass PS button on controller should pair it
I just bought a Sony Bravia x900-H the other day and I'm trying to pair my PS4 Dual Shock 4 controller over Bluetooth so I can enjoy some retro gaming.
When I get the controller paired, the menu becomes insanely slow and the TV does not recognize any inputs from the controller.
If I plug the controller in via USB, I have no issues.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue when connecting via Bluetooth?
Thanks!
