Anyone try their PS3 controller yet? I am going to try later when i get home. Anyone have any luck getting it to work?

My guess would be that it should work perfectly fine as it works on my Og Transformer.

I think the Transformer Prime has a different USB design.

Need to be rooted as far as I know

I think the Transformer Prime has a different USB design.

So it doesn't have the same host mode as the rest of the Honeycomb tablets? That's good to know, definitely waiting on the Nexus tablet before I upgrade from the OG Transformer.

Still waiting for my dock to see if it works through USB.

Can't you hook up a PS3 Controller over Bluetooth?

Not without root.

You can root the Prime whenever you want. According to this post:

That doesn't work on the newest firmware...

No, Razorclaw doesn't work with the latest firmware versions Therefor I can't root the device yet.

Once docks are available we can use the dock usb. There is a video on YouTube demonstrating it

I plugged up my PS3 controller to my dock to play some Shadowgun THD. It played just like a console. I then thought I would just try to test the bluetooth. Yep, it detected and connected fine. When I launched Shadowgun, it detected a new controller attached and directed me to setup to configure it. It works with no rooting nor tweaking. I have ICS and .15 loaded. I just got the Prime yesterday. I will try my 360 controller next...after I eat.

I meant wirelessly without root. I found some updated posts on XDA where the lastest firmwares allowed it to work natively now.

 

[allan1313]

Yeah it does work natively now. Sweetness!!

Score another one for the prime.

Well this definitely excites me. How do we go about connecting the two? I am a bit confused. Do I set up BT searching on the TP and then hit the PS3 button in the middle of the controller? I tried that with no luck last night. Is there anything else needed?

I am running ICS with all newest updates, and I have a PS3. I tried googling the answer, but everything that came back was dated in December and useless. Would love help on this one.

I do NOT have the dock, though. I am just rocking the TP solo. Is the dock REQUIRED for this to work? That would be my only speedbump.

Thanks in advance.
