1) The game controller probably has to be connected using an OTG cable. (And it has to look like a mouse or something else the tablet will recognize).

2) Samsung uses non-standard microUSB ports. Some of their devices can only do an AC charge using the OEM cable, because there are more than 5 pins on the phone end of the cable, and a couple of the extra ones have to be shorted to tell the phone that it's using an AC charger.
