So just went through the process of setting up my tablet with my ps3 controller and have to say its awesome. I took a few steps that aren't required to be thorough but guiding someone else to do it would be a breeze. Played a few rounds of WoT Blitz and have been much happier with the controller instead of the touch controls. Thank God for "Droid Does"
Sixaxis Controller Support

I have tried a couple of games but am put off by there being no way to map the buttons. I used to use sixaxis app to use the ps3 controller on my note 10.1 and although it was a pain in the arse to set up mapped profiles for each game, gameplay was a lot better.
That's what I did on my note 10.1. The whole point of getting the z2 tablet was because it supports ps3 natively. If I've got to use a third party app to use the ps3 controller then I may as well stick to my note as it's a more capable tablet than the z2.
Sorry I just saw this, its up to the game developers to enable the controller in their games. I can connect fine through Sony's app, but Sixaxis allows me to play any game even if they don't want controller support.
Trouble is to use sixaxis i need to be rooted, which on my note was fine as i always had custom ROMs on all my Samsung devices but I've left my z2 and z2 tablet stock unrooted.
There's a few easy workarounds for root on z2, I didn't bother doing a full flash of anything.
If i root it i can't use sky go and i use sky go every night.
No, I use my tablet to watch tv at night when I go to bed. Can't have tv on in the bedroom because of disturbing my parrot. His cage is in my bedroom and having the tv on wakes him up lol
