[tylerrayy]

Thank you so much!

My old wired xbox controller works with mine.

Now just trying to find some games haha

[lukas918273642]

do you need some app from market ? like sixaxis ?

[janeskijane]

CAN YOU PLAY GALAXY ON FIRE 2 WITH GAME CONTROLLER ON THIS TABLET ???? PLS ANSWER

[alex9030018]

I think it is pressing up and down for gas pedal and brake

[dtorresjr1]

Does it work with a ps3 controller?

[PilotSolution]

Hi, does the acer a200 work with a external disk drive to run disks or programs?

Thanks

[MobileTechReview]

@PilotSolution Yes, we demo'd that in our review here: watch?v=0tdIjah7kEE

[Rickygt07]

i have that same controller i bough a long time ago. Its agreat controller forsimplestuff

[paolobcruz]

can you make a comparison with the Thrive, xoom and the Iconia tab? I'm looking around for tablets and I cant decide between the 3. Thanks

[californicational]

Thank you Lisa..

[ldarthard]

I used my controller paired with my Toshiba Thrive with onLive games. At first onLive played pretty crappy, but I found out I needed a new wireless router. now the games play flawlessly. Controller response is snappy also. I played Darksiders and the graphics were good.

[Wtfwts9999]

I kinda start loving Android devices. =D

[CHILDOFHARLEM]

I'm sure it work wit ps3 controllers might need a otg cable

[MUSICandMICHAEL]

Wow that looks great..

But is that viewing angle really so small on the tablet?

I tbink about to get me a budget tablet like this but because I wanna use it outside I need a good display too..so want can you say to that..

[MobileTechReview]

@MUSICandMICHAEL Viewing angles are fine on the A200, just not super-wide like IPS. I have no complaints.

[drAllenH]

does acer a500 work with controllers?

[MobileTechReview]

@drAllenH Yes, USB game controllers work with the A500 too.

[mikedelgado8888]

Pretty cool 

[CityFlashLights]

@socvertoby no you can't. Those games are written for windows and its impossible for them to work on android unless they make Android versions

[CityFlashLights]

will an original ps3 controller work on an Asus?

[Josh4342]

Would you make a video to demo some on live games for this tablet? Or at least let me know if the app works well on this tablet?

[MobileTechReview]

@Josh4342 We've tested OnLive using an XBOX wired controller with the A200 and it works great!

[CHILDOFHARLEM]

HMMMM DO ONLIVE WIRELESS WORK WITH EMULATOR GAMES ?

[ldarthard]

I have a generic XBOX 360 Controller for Windows, and when I plug it into my Toshiba Thrive Tablets' USB slot, GTA III starts up automatically without starting the app, and all buttons work fine.

[Illmatic662]

@ldarthard Are you serious? That sounds amazing!

[ldarthard]

I guess, but it becomes annoying when you hook up the controller and the game wants to start ; Every time! @Illmatic662

[Illmatic662]

@ldarthard Hm, maybe there is a way to disable that in the settings for GTA?

[SuperAdamAnt89]

hey lisa...this is so sexy...do you have a daughter?

[PrinceT300]

My school have me an iPad for awhile and now I understand why everyone is making other tablets, Apple kicked ass in that department

[tiggerjayeward]

AHEM LAPTOP AHEM

[dxut]

My ps3 controller works with gta 3 ......... All the buttons work well with the game

[Ghostyx123]

I'm with soccertoby...

[soccertoby]

can you play Minecraft, Counterstrike and other games by placing the games on a usb and plugging it in to the tablet?

[rourin]

@soccertoby No, you can't run Windows games on an Android tablet. If you want to play Minecraft there's an app called Minedroid that enables you to do so, though.

[GVR4N1]

Walking into Best Buy If you had a choice out of the Android Tabs what would you grab? I want to get an Android with their 100 buck off deal while waiting on the iPad 3...

[kingmarco301]

@GVR4N1 toshiba thrive

[backdoorman1971]

Lisa you rock !

[itchydaggeriphone]

this is were my ASUSS transformer 2 fails no USB only a proprieties

[clouds5]

@itchydaggeriphone USB is on the dock with the transformer. Why do people get the Transformer Prime without the dock?

+ you can use bluetooth controllers as well.

[Ucada]

Onlive on tablets, sounds pretty cool to watch.

[jeervega]

ill just stick with my ipad 2

[JOKBO1]

do you have a son Lisa?

[nousforseti]

Hey Lisa, any plans to review onLive on tablets? I'm curios to see how different tablets handle it.

[IronReaver17]

I use a PS3 controller with the Sixaxis app on the market. I have the galaxy tab 10.1 so its more convenient than buying a usb dongle and then one of those logitech controllers

[Fletcherismine]

nice.

[Tariqslo]

I love this idea. I'm very excited how tablet gaming is evolving but some games are hard to play with on screen navigations.

Does this gamepad work on iPad? It would be sweet it they make a wireless version.

[eggroll9000]

@Tariqslo Apple is not exactly famous for compatibility, so you'll have to wait for someone to release a gamepad that uses Apple's proprietary standards...

I've tried both Wii controllers, Xbox 360 controllers and PS3 controllers on Android, on a tablet which doesn't support it natively like this one but requires third party apps (Galaxy Tab 7 PLus). By far the best experience is with a PS3 controller using the root-only Sixaxis Controller app. It has a special feature that allows you to map controls to parts of the screen, e.g. the analog stick mapped to the area where a touch stick normally is. This makes it compatible with any game out there
