- Sixaxis Controller app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscontroller&hl=en ($2.50)

I bought my GameKlip Mount from Dhgate.com because it was the most affordable option for me ($10). It doesn't come with the micro usb male cable so I purchased from eBay($2). The official Gameklip site didn't release a new case for Nexus 7 (2nd) gen model so I went ahead and bought a hard case from eBay. There is a soft silicon case alternative that costs a bit more than the hard. Everything costs pretty much under $20 which is a great bargain. Shipping takes awhile. The downside is waiting for everything to come.

Just FYI, the PS3 controller you linked to is counterfeit and I don't know how good those are in terms of quality compared to an official one.

If you live in america you should be able to find an official one at a decent price the next few days due to Black Friday sales and the release of the PS4 pushing prices down.

The gameklip is pretty neat. Hopefully they can release something similar for the PS4 controller soon.

Bought two. Both crap (pressing upwards resulted for example in going up+left). Both in the dustbin. Not worth any amount of money, imho of course :angel:

Exactly why I buy quality reputable items from reputable sources instead of searching for the cheap bargain. Wasted time is also money in my book.

Not dinging on ya or directed towards ya Pfeffernuss. Just my 2 cents is all.

gameklip works awesome with both the 2012 and 2013 N7. Not sure why he hasn't sourced a 2013 N7 case yet.... I got mine from mobilefun in the UK... took a couple weeks to make its way to me but works well... very similar to the one that Gameklip bundles for 2012.

Has anyone ordered from DHgate or Aliexpress before? I only want to buy one and I'm not sure if there's a minimum order etc?

Other options are too expensive to post to the UK!

so there are 3 things at play here:

1 -- the gameklip itself -- you're only going to find it in one place. Do the poor bloke a favor who designed and drove it to market and buy it from him.

2 -- cases for the 2013 N7 -- mobilefun is a UK company -- need a spoon too?

3 -- as of others have said buying anything other than a legit PS3 controller is hit or miss. it took myself a bad china order before I finally broke down and bought a real one.

Need a spoon? Read my question properly!

The original poster has links for the Gameklip on sale at DHgate anbd ALiexpress. I'm asking who has had good experiences from either DHgate or Aliexpress?

I understand exactly how it works, I already own a N7 2013 shell and a PS3 controller, I'm looking for the cheapest place to buy a Gameklip..

Dont forget the Limelight app so that you can stream all of your Steam games to your Nexus 7. It works RIDICULOUSLY well. You do need a relatively new Nvidia GPU in your desktop and it certainly helps not to have a garbage wifi router, but if you pass that pretty low bar than its gaming nirvana.

Again I would only buy a gameklip from gameklip... Going the China route you are screwing the guy that took the time to bring it to market.

19.95 + 14.30 (shipping) to get to me? 40+ bucks? That 10 bucks with free shipping from china is looking pretty tempting if you ask me, specially if I don't live anywhere near the US..

Don't get me wrong though, I love to support people and their products if I like them. I've bought stuff from the US and had it shipped here, but most of it are electronics though..

You'll be happy to know then (I hope) that I've found a seller locally (2nd hand but still)

A bit overpriced at 75+ bucks (coz he included an original dualshock 3 controller, but I think he's making up for the delivery of the gameklip), I'm negotiating getting the gameklip only as I know a friend who's selling two original dualshock 3s for 30 bucks (coz he's bought a ps4)

You guys can save yourself a lot of money if you root and use the SixAxis app in the playstore. The app lets you pair an existing PS3 controller via bluetooth and only costs $2.53.

After connecting a PS3 controller with an OTG cable, Should the controller lights stop flashing? My 1/2/3/4 lights just flash red even through it works fine?
