Small USB Gamepad

question729 · Jul 22, 2012

I've been messing with the OTG usb adapter and thought it would be fun to have one of those small folding gamepads I saw a couple years ago. Sure would beat stashing a PS3 controller in a bag or risk getting a vintage NES/SNES controller lost or damaged. I come to find that they are pretty much discontinued. Has anyone come across somewhere that still has them?

I guess the only option is the Ion Go pad.

Can anyone confirm if the ion gopad works with an unrooted vz us s3? I cant get the ps3 controller working and was wondering if anyone has had any luck with this.

I got the PS3 controller working fine on a vzw s3. Just press the ps button first.

I'm using the Onlive Universal controller. It works on all gamepad supported Android games not just Onlive stuff. It works over bluetooth.

i turn the ps3 controller on. plug it into my phone through usb otg cable. then nothing.

I think when pressing the PS button, that its for bluetooth control and not wired.

Ooh theres also a gopad FX

All I want is a PS3 controller (Bluetooth) thats thinner than the one you normally get.

Nope. Here's what I do. I plug in my usb OTG adapter at the end of the mini usb cable hooked into my PS3 controller. I plug it all into the phone's micro usb port. I push the PS button in the middle of the controller. The controller is now recognized by the phone. If you are near your PS3 when you unplug the controller from your phone it will turn on your PS3.
