[Q] TN7 with dualshock 4 and sony gcm or nyko smart clip?

[Shouvanik]

I have already ordered a TN7 on amazon. Despite being over a year old it has an extreme value for money at 9000rupees.(150$). I want to play games with my dualshock 4 on the tab. So–
1. Can my ds4 connect to TN7 by sixaxis app or usb otg?
2.If yes, then will sony game control mount and nyko smart clip for ds4 fit the tab?
3.If both fits, then which one is better in reliability and ease of use?

The sixaxis app is supposed to support Dualshock 4 controllers now but I don't know if it will work with the TN7. The TN7 has had issues pairing with PS3 controllers over bluetooth in the past so I would be weary of PS4 controller support though I was able to finally get my PS3 controller to pair last night. It should however work using OTG, my PS3 controller always did.

After look at them I don't think either of those mounts are going to work. The Sony uses a suction cup and the back of the TN7 is textured so I can't see that working. The nyko is listed as being for phones up to 3.5" wide and the TN7 is 4.75". Some people in the comments have said it fits 7" and 8" tablets but others say it doesn't so there is no guarantee that it will work.

I tried using a otg cable but it's like kind of a hit or miss thing. It sometimes connects and works well. Sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it disconnects. Same happens to flash drives.
Does it works well on your tegra note?

 

[madmatt2024]

I have never had an issue with flash drives or controllers connecting on mine. Maybe your OTG cable is defective.

 

[Shouvanik]

Yeah. That might be the case. Can you post a link to the cable you use?(if you've bought it online)
