android gaming- which controller is supported most?

almoststew1990 · 5 Jul 2013 at 19:12

I'm planning on gaming on my nexus 7 and not sure what controller to take with me. I have a 360 and ps3 controller and some games support 360 and some support the ps3 controller. Will rooting sort this problem out? I would prefer 360 controller. I don't have room to pack both and anyway I would have thought my tablet wouldn't charge the ps3 controller, and if it does it will drain my nexus battery quickly...

Not sure rooting will help, generally up to the software makers themselves to add proper gamepad support. Rooting would let you connect the ps3 pad via bluetooth though.

I'm using the somewhat overpriced Moga controller myself as i didn't want to root my device.

I personally have found the PS3 controller + xda's massive pre-built bank of settings to be easier

I'm sure a 360 controller (wired) and a driver off play site will work. The main one is ps3 via blue tooth.

And it would let you use the SixAxis app as well, which allows you to map touch screen controls to buttons on the PS3 pad :

Handy for games that don't natively support a controller.
