hi guys just got myself a samsung galaxy tab a for when im away on courses .

i like the odd game or two but hate using the onscreen controls

is there a wired pad like the little snes ones out there as its small and easy to carry about that i can use .

as the tablet is a usb c port will it just be a case of using a usb-usb-c converter , dont realy want to spend a lot and use it wired not bluetooth

thanks

Wired? Not really.

Well, there is this... https://www.8bitdo.com/sn30-pro-usb-gamepad/ No idea how or even if it'd work though.

I've used Ipega 9017S and more recently the 8Bitdo N30 Pro and they work very nicely indeed. Given how cheap the Ipega was, it's surprisingly fine.

If its usb c, I bought a male usb c to usb 2 female adapter from somewhere familiar for 4 quid and use an xbox controller or any other you desire

does this work ?

Xbox One controller on a Tablet ?
might have to buy one if so

This worked in my phone perfectly, don't see why it wouldn't on a tablet
Might be game dependant, but I think there are apps to help work around that also

Xbox One controllers work fine - I've used the Bluetooth ones to play Snes games on my phone (just as proof of concept really - I don't game on my phone much)

Nice, thanks for confirmation
