Default Bluetooth Gamepad

Any good suggestions for a bluetooth gamepad for the Xoom?

I could use the wii remote's but was wondering if there's any better alternatives that anyone can suggest...

Thanks!

Also wondering the same. I think there's a good demand for a nice bluetooth controller. Something similar to the Xbox 360 controller would be nice.

I don't have a ps3 or xbox but i'd happily buy a controller if it worked!

Wii controller, while great - would be slightly annoying as if you use the classic controller the actual wii remote is attached and dangling loose...

Ps3 is bluetooth so could theoretically work, if an app provides support. I picked up a Datel wireless wii Retro classic controller or
whatever on ebay for $20, which should work with one of the wiimote apps. Its basically the wii classic controller without the need to tether it to a regular wiimote for wireless.

PS3 Controllers wont work based on the way they pair with the PS3. Tried this and have tried to find apps that would make this work.

Wink Wii!

A Wii controller of course! I got mine up and running fantasticly a couple days ago when N64oid was released. Its very simple and uses bluetooth (obviously). You will need the assistance of the app "Wiimote Controller" that can be found in the Android Market free of cost though to actually pair, but from there on out, your good! And hopefully you didnt even need to go spend any money Hope this helps. Take Care

Works pretty well! I used it with Snesoid and it worked great. Dpad and joysticks as well. 4 trigger/shoulder buttons and 4 standard thumb buttons.
