PS3 controller doesn't seem to be able to switch weapons in HL2 via the D-Pad. Only slightly annoying when dodging those gunships. Anybody have a solution to that? I still can't get it working 100% via bluetooth (HL2 insists there's no attached controller)
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pat.xda:
OK, I'm stuck here.

I have my Shield Tablet running Android 5.0, I have a USB OTG 6" right-angle cable (micro USB to USB A-type), I have a Microsoft XBOX360 Wireless Receiver (for Windows) plugged into the USB OTG cable and a (several) XBOX360 Wireless controller.

When I press and hold the sync button on the XBOX360 Wireless Receiver, the little green LED blinks until I press the sync button on the controller. The controller ring LEDs rotate for a moment, then both the receiver and controller blink a few more times. Next, the receiver LED turns off, the controller LED blinks repeated and nonstop, but I get NO feedback from the controller on the tablet, regardless of the app I have running (NES emu, SNES emu, HL:2, Nvidia GRID, etc...)

What am I doing wrong?
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vankog:
hm...

Well, first: I have a PC-version of the 360 controller.

Second: My controller has been already synced with the receiver via Windows when I tried it on the tablet.

For me it was just a matter of plugging in the receiver with an OTG cable into the tablet and then switching the XBox 360 controller on.

The LED keeps on blinking all the time, but the tablet recognizes it anyway and can work with it.

SHIELD Mapper works, and also DraStic Emulator.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pat.xda:
well damn!

I plugged the receiver into my Windows PC, it got recognized and the LED stayed on while plugged into the PC.

Synced the controller to the receiver, it was recognized and appeared to be working properly - the LED stayed lit on the receiver.

Plugged the receiver into the OTG cable, plugged the OTG cable into the Shield Tablet - LED lit up and stayed lit on the receiver, turned on the controller, and now my games & emus recognize the controller (even able to connect multiple 360 controllers for 2 players)

As you mentioned, the LED ring on the controller continues to blink, but that's no big deal for me

Not sure what exactly made this work, but it does now. Thanks to everyone in this thread for the info, experience and feedback

DS4 is great for Shield

Im using a DS4 with SiAxis app and having great results. Dont really know how to map controls just yet but I am able to use the trackpad on the controller as a mouse and everything else functions normal with no noticeable lag other than the lag of game streaming in the first place. I just wish I could hit X on the controller to select rather than square and so on. But once I launch a game such as BL2 all the controls pretty much just fall into place. I might end up getting the Shield controller if I run into any major problems with the DS4 but for now works good. Now I am going to install the PS4 remote play zip and see if I can get the shield tab to play nice with that. If it does ill be made in the shade. Stream from my PC, my PS4, and play mobiles all from my tab (great when the wifey is on the PC or TV lol)

EDIT: Also im using BlueTooth

Has anyone been able to configure DS3 to properly function with half life 2 [episode one]?

This whole time I've been using OTG. Works great for the most part.

[sorry, i know weapons have been mentioned]

i cant change any options but one, nor can i switch weapons, although i heard you can configure the Sixaxis app to work with it, yet i havent seen any proof of it..

I haven't had much luck, for I'm kind of unfamiliar on how to approach a configuration. I've only been able to configure a touch layout rather than a controller layout...and had no real usage for it.

Anytime I need a certain weapon I basically had to shoot away all my ammo cause I couldn't change to a needed weapon. I know thats not right..

OR, does switching weapons work for any other controllers [not including nvidia's]?

Im cheap, but if i have to, ill get it.......someday..
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vankog:
I am having the same issues with my wireless 360 controller. Of the menus only the main menu works, every sub menu is stuck to the first entry. Options, controls, saving, loading... I did not come so far as to have any weapons, but I think I'd have the same problem switching them.

Using touch or mouse has no effect.

Took some time to figure out how to duck, though - pressing the left analog stick.

Shield Mapping does not work obviously as there is nothing to map on the screen.

I have no idea how one could fix this. Maybe providing a bug report to NVidia. I will do so tomorrow or so. Maybe you should, too. The more people the better.

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I can comfirm that Dualshock 3 controllers work just fine with Sixaxis and a bit of tweaking in the settings of the app; you need to enable Android gamepad emulation and remap the buttons a bit (Cross to A etc) and it'll work just fine in games.

[MENTION=977691]mejdam[/MENTION], I'm having some issues with your fix of the Ouya controller and I can't seem to get it working. I've tried it in games such as portal and my character just keeps spinning due to that the secondary joystick is unresponsive. Any fix? I'm using AndroidL.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I've figured out the issue with the OUYA controller on Lollipop and it's all related to line 41 in the .kl file, specifically HOME ALT. I've removed the HOME ALT and replace it with BUTTON_START instead and it seem to work a lot better now, and gamepad is being detected properly:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B86IbT406I-3Y2VGZkdpRUpLY2M/view?usp=sharing

So if you're having issues with the OUYA gamepad on Nvidia SHield tablet, use that patch as it seem to fix the issues and it works really well (better than Dualshock 3 for an example).
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drug18477:
My vote goes to the IPEGA 9023. For my purposes (Jump n Run and RPGs) it is perfect. Also the ability to span the tablet in the controller is something I would not want to miss. I find it way more comfortable and immersive to hold it like this than have the controller separated and the tablet standing somewhere.

I've read through this, and there is a lot of good information. I have a Shield controller. I have also tried my Xbox 360 with the USB/Wireless adapter for Windows and an OTG cable. That works pretty well.

Has anyone tried something smaller?

I've looked at the Drone controller

http://www.evolutioncontrollers.com

It isn't cheap, but it's small. I just don't know how well it works. I'd love a smaller Shield controller. The standard controllers are just too big to fit in my every day gear bag.

Thanks,

A point to consider: nvidia claims that using Wifi Direct for the controller halves the latency compared to Bluetooth.

I suspect that it would be difficult for many people to tell the difference though (provided one did proper double blind testing as this type of comparison is highly susceptible to confirmation bias which means everyone tends towards confirming their pre-existing notion when they "experience" the difference).

Also note I do not own a Shield Tablet device as i write this.
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xephrey:
I don’t think the latency between the controller and the tablet is of much importance compared to the latency between the tablet and the streaming source.

I’m hoping the difference is negligible, cause I’m planning on eventually replacing the Shield controller, for the most part, with the Steam controller. Really looking forward to that release.

Hi :)I bought 3 weeks ago a Shield Tablet and now I would like to buy a controller. I read some threads about lots of controllers and my choice would be on:

-Shield Controller (complete and wonderful, but expensive)

-PS4 Controller (with cable, don't know if it's working well, quite expensive)

-Xbox 360 Controller (wired, I know that there's a problem with dpad and I don't know if there's a workaround). Is there any other Controller do you advice me that is working g well without problems?
