Does anyone know if the OUYA controllers pair with the Shield TV? I want to buy one and need to know how many controllers I will need to buy.
Also, will anyone want an old OUYA?

I don't have firsthand experience of it mate but I don't see why not assuming it is bluetooth. Although you won't want to use that controller once you try the sheild one. I paired an amazon fire TV stick remote to the sheild for use in Kodi. Ebay is you best bet for the OUYA. Still a nice little streaming device for someone.
Sorry, I should have been more clear.
I own an OUYA and three controllers, and want a Shield TV.
You could always try it out and return the SATV if you're not happy...but the Shield controllers are much better than the OUYA controller. For the record I'mm 99% sure they work just fine with the SATV though.
Any Bluetooth controller should work on shield tv. If the ouya is Bluetooth it should be ok,mostly.
Did you figure this out? I just got my shield tv and can try it out if you still need an answer.
Got mine to pair but key mappings are very wrong. Tried to install the Ouya keylayout file but it has no effect. Still trying to figure this out.

Sorry, I am no longer of value here. I sold the Shield TV because I couldn't get it working with Amazon apps. I still have 8 OUYA controllers, though, if that becomes helpful...

I could use another Xbox 360 controller, but it would be nice if it could be used for both the Xbox and the MOJO so I'd have another controller for the MOJO. It would have to be wireless, I know the wired one can work. I've done a lot of searching, but didn't see a great solution. I saw on XDA forum there is a way to get it to work with Nexus, but wasn't sure if it would work on the MOJO. Any thoughts?

I think you can use a Playstation 3 JoyPad, if you like.
You use the App Sixaxis Controller

I need the controller to work with the XBOX 360 though, the Playstation 3 controller won't do that will it? I was hoping to get one controller that would work with both 360 and MOJO, but if I have to get separate ones that may be what I have to do.

I'm not sure where you're based but this would enable you to connect a wireless 360 controller to MOJO:

Edit: heh, yeah that's exactly what's in the video that Amigawolf just linked to.
Thanks guys! Looks like that should work great. Lovin the MOJO, doing exactly what I need it to do.

Good to see that we could help you, and i hope that you will have a lot of fun with it.
I can confirm that the wireless receiver for the PC works on the mojo. I was able to pair the Xbox 360 wireless with the receiver and get it to work. I was able to get it to work without doing any configuration for Soulcraft, except for the trigger buttons. It also worked straight up on Mupen64. On GTA III it worked until you got into the game, then it would just constantly spin around, so may need some configuration. I won't be using it as a main controller, but seems to be an option if I want to play a two player game. The receiver was only $10 US, so nice addition to be able to use an XBOX 360 controller now on the MOJO and a computer.
Hi, I'm searching a cheap game controller for our Amazon Fire TV where I do not need root access on the device.
I have already a ps3 controller but to run this controller on the Fire TV I need root access. Do you know a game controller which run good and witout an advance installation?
Many thanks...
What's wrong with the original amazon controller ?
http://www.amazon.de/Amazon-53-0031...e=UTF8&qid=1411563380&sr=8-2&keywords=fire+tv
ok, it's a little pricy, but I expect optimizations for this one
Maybe the Tronsmart Mars G01 as an alternative ?

360 and Wii U Pro controllers work without root, but you'll need to purchase USB receivers to use them. I've been using an NES30 (www.nes30.com) and it's great as long as you don't need any analog sticks. I have the OEM FireTV game controller as well, and it works great for games with analog controls.
I have a wired 360 Gamepad, & a wired PS3 gamepad.
they work okay.
I ended up buying the Amazon Game Controller because I liked the idea of no wires and I wanted better compatibility with the stuff that is out. For instance, Dungeon Quest which works with the above controllers, if you didn't mind not getting into the inventory & stats (which you need to). You could reprogram the keys, but for whatever reason, they didn't work.
I didn't want to have to use 2 different gamepads, that's bad enough on my PC, dang wire tangle. Anyways, I like the Amazon Game Controller. It's light, solid, the buttons feel great, the digital pad feels really nice, and it's sticks are more like the PS2/3/4 sticks we've all come to love.
I also choose the AGC because I couldn't get the USB Gamepad app I like to work on the FireTV, just bugs out searching for devices.
I don't know how long the batteries last though, only have had it for a few days.
Surprised no one has recommended the NYKO Playpad PRO. http://www.amazon.com/PlayPad-Pro-Amazon-Fire-TV/dp/B00J9P3KBS/ref=dp_ob_title_vg.
All of the above mentioned do a pretty good job.
Sometime a bit of a fiddle pending on the game and that's the fun part.
Cheers
I was about to the buy the Nexus Player, along with the controller, and I was wondering if someone could test the controller on the OUYA. I really like the Nexus Player's controller, so I was wondering if it can be used to replace to the OUYA controller?
Idk, But if/when they release kernel source you could probably port the controller to ouyas kernel if you had to
Will the ouya or ps4 controllers work on Nexus player. God I hope so. I have 4 ouya and 4 ps4 controllers. I can't afford to buy any more controllers.
Does anyone have an answer for this?

By default, the Ouya controller does not work very well, the button mapping is all messed up. Once we get root, I can add the proper keyboard layout files from the Ouya and let you know if that works. At least it pairs just fine.
Ps4 controller does not work
I've tried a bunch of times to get the PS4 controller to work, but I cannot get it to pair over bluetooth and I don't have a usb otg cable to see if it works over usb. :/
Do you have the nexus player gamepad? Can it pair with OUYA and play games?

I do not have a Nexus Player gamepad. I already have 4 Ouya gamepads, so I thought getting another one was just too much.
I've got the nexus gamepad delivered to me yesterday and although I haven't tested pairing it with the ouya yet, I'm pretty sure that the button mapping will be messed up. I have paired it with my note 10.1 2014 and it works great! Especially with Limelight (whatever the newest root ver is)
Yup, as said above, it DOES pair, but the mapping is all messed up. One of the keypad buttons maps to 'back', not had the triggers working in anything. But some games have still been playable.
Hope someone gets this working as it's also quite good to have the touchpad area to move around too.
Oh, the other thing is both the standard gamepad and the ouya gamepad when paired show as the same controller (ie, player1). Not sure where the other ouya pad I've got is to see if that turns up as player2.
which one works better?
i know i need the adaptor..
XBOX ONE CONTROLLER DOES NOT WORK ON SHIELD TV as of now, the only place it works wireless is on a Windows 10 PC. 360 wireless works absolutely perfect with the exception of the flashing LEDS
is there a lot of battery drain with the flashing led
No more than usual I'd say. Remember that the led is usually constantly on... So not much difference

Can you really confirm the Xbox One controller works with the NVIDIA Shield TV wired?
Cause that would be awesome too me but I've always read the Shield TV didn't support it at all...

Whoa Nazgulled I've just tried it again and you're right, it didn't work!! Really sorry for any confusion...
I'm sure I had it working with gamesome on one of my devices, I'm off to try, and will edit my previous post.
Sorry guys!
Xbox One controllers might work in a future image, check here. My offer stands for XDA members as well: If you know what you're doing I can spare you the chore of compiling your own kernel, but I have no idea if it'll work for you (I'm not an actual developer.)
xbox 360 controllers better than the nvidia ? for multiplayer
DS4. Amazing trigger buttons and handfeel. Works with the sixaxis controller program. Has a touchpad that works fine with many games.
cool i may go for ds4
I have a MOGA pocket bluetooth controller somewhere , but it's nowhere near as nice as the nvidia shield controller. I have sideloaded a couple apps that want to use a moga controller , and while I'm sure I could attach a moga controller to the Shield Android TV, it seems ridiculous to have to do that when a superior controller exists as standard. Some games (I own the Need for speed game) only allow touch, motion, or moga.. and it would not allow me to use the shield controller. Anyone got any ideas? there are apps that make the moga work on games not made for it, but I've yet to find a way for the shield controller to pretend to be a MOGA
This would be very useful for what i need it for too, i want to play NOVA 3 and it has moga support and sort of recognises the shiled controller as moga wierdly, but again the issue with the right analog stick being a mouse and not being able to map the buttons. So the app to make shield tv think shield controller is MOGA would work for a lot of games we otherwise would not be able to play. very useful
is there anywhere I should request such a thing be made? I mean, I can't donate toward it right now... but I'd be interested in proving there is interest for such a feature or app made available to shield devices.
Yeah I think it has to do with the Shield being Wi-Fi direct instead of Bluetooth. Im pretty sure someone could hack it via root.
