Stories similar to xbox 360 controller problems

I know you've seen the 360 controllers work on the Transformer, but mine doesn't seem to be working. I have the wireless receiver,, but I don't have the receiver connected to a mini usb to usb. Its plugged directly in my dock. The controller is synced but no response. Do I have to revert back to a Honeycomb rom for this to work?

I have my PS3 controller connected through USB and while that works fine, no applications seem to support its keymap. So my question is whether it's possible to make it emulate an xbox controller similar to what MotionInJoy does on Windows?

I have done some googling but to no avail.

Here's a flashable zip that will enable you to use an XBox 360 Wireless Controller to play GTA3, Vice City, and any other games that support USB Controllers(hopefully). You will also need an OTG Cable and an XBox 360 Wireless Controller Receiver, like this one.

Hi, got my OTG cable today and tried plugging in my wired xbox controller. The lights flash on it but its not recognising any button presses. Anyone know if it works?

if not would a cheap USB controller work?

I purchased a Xbox 360 controller a few months ago to use on my PC but recently it started having issues charging. At first I had the issue where the LED indicator would show green(charged) when it was in fact empty. I worked around that issue by constantly unplugging and replugging the charging cord.

When I tried to charge my controller after a few months I came across a different issue.

Anyone with emulator experience?

I am on XBMCUbuntu and the wireless xbox controller seems to work fine out of the box but I have to press the back button on the controller to activate which is fine.

What I would like to do is to enable the guide button on the xbox controller to exit the emulator so I do not need the keyboard.

Hey guys,

So i finally installed Ubuntu 12.04 and am dual booting with windows 7 x86. When booting into ubuntu, I experienced problems getting my usb wireless receiver to connect. Through many searches and many forum threads, I was lead to believe it was a driver issue. I am currently using this receiver if anyone is curious.

I couldn't find the answer elsewhere on the net, or this forum, so far!

I recently purchased a few USB OTG cables for my HTC One S, £0.59 off Amazon including postage, bargain. I can plug in a mouse, keyboard, and using a powered USB hub I can use my external hard drive with the mouse and keyboard.

However, an XBOX 360 controller simply doesn't work.

I think I screwed something up in a HID library when trying to install a PS3 controller not long ago, as the PS3 controller never worked right, and now when I try to connect an Xbox 360 controller, the mouse cursor jumps to the top-left corner of the screen and neither it nor the keyboard will respond.

any idea what I ought to purge to fix this? thanks!
