Connecting wireless XBOX 360 Controler

**Jeremy Hluchan** · 11-16-2012, 10:50 PM

I am trying to figure out how to connect a wireless X box 360 Controller to my new galaxy note 10.1. what I am wondering is what all do I need to buy and how do I actually make it work. Any Suggestions?

I am pretty sure that Microsoft uses a closed standard for the wireless xbox controller.

Does that mean it won't work? I Know I would need to buy a receiver for the controller.

Youll have better luck with the wiimote it pairs through Bluetooth and are some excellent apps on the play store to get it all workin. I use it frequently with emulators and HDMI out.

I am trying to avoid purchasing a new controller since I already have a bunch of wireless xbox 360 controllers. That isn't a bad alternative though since the wii remotes aren't too expensive. It doesn't look like a whole lot of research has been done on this topic.

I have tried all possible methods with the Xbox controller and it just doesnt pair unfortunatly also even direct usb connection doesnt work. As far as I can tell there isnt a direct way to do it. Even the ps3 controller doesnt want to connect though there are some work arounds for it. I recommend the wiimote and classic controller can usually find them cheap at game stop used.

Thanks for the help! I will look into those remotes.

Any good suggestions on what kind of controller to buy? Cheap is preferred and must be found on Amazon (just got a gift card). I love the ps3 layout but I want to make sure it actually works. Any suggestions????

You guys are awesome.

I find the official Nintendo wiimote with classic controller attachment works best, offers a good layout.

You should try onlive, it allows you to play games across many platforms and has a controller that you can buy which connects to every console and most tablets via usb or bluetooth
