Thanks

I'd go with the ps3 controller. I tried my brother's xbox controller and couldn't get it to work correctly. My ps3 controller worked right away with usb, also works great with bluetooth, using sixaxis from the market, great for emulators.

Cool thanks ya I have sixaxis and was testing with brother in laws sony ps3 controller and worked good once paired but I need my own so I don't have to keep pairing it ya know.. does the brand of ps3 controller matter or will the wireless protocol still work with the tablet. What do you have to do to pair it up via bt with no USB...

Thanks

Seems the dreamgear controller is wireless 2.4 via USB dongle ....

Honestly, I would go with a Sony branded PS3 controller with the sixaxis app from the market.

The app costs a few bucks, but works flawlessly, very easy to setup as well.

Can't go wrong with that gear.

I was able to use a Wired XBox 360 controller (that I bought for using in Windows 7) on my A500 running stock either 3.0 or 3.2.1. I can't remember if it was before or after I updated it. It worked great for an NES emulator!

Not sure why you can't use a 360 controller when games that use controllers have the exact colored button indicators as it.

I use a wired, and it works by default. If you use onlive gaming, you will want to use the 360 controller since games are made for it already, or the onlive wireless one. Wireless Xbox 360 controllers work as well, but I use the wired so I don't need to worry about battery life.

Bluetooth controllers typically will have synch issues so stay away from those.
