Game Controller Support

May 05, 2013 someone222 link
Hello, I just recently purchased a Nyko Playpad Pro, the game detects the controller just fine but tells me the game will operate much slower while using it, the controller also comes with a keyboard mode as well, so I tried to use it in Keyboard mode, just about everything went smoothly accept the buttons LEFT Arrow, Right Arrow etc, the sensitivity is to high but there is no option to adjust sensitivity on these buttons. If this can be added this controller would be perfect out of the box for this game. Thanks :)

Yes, we're planning on supporting that controller in the near future.

The 'much slower' isn't really much slower, it just has to go through Java to handle input and audio instead of doing everything in native code.

I use a joystick on Android and I really haven't noticed much difference in the game's performance.
This was on an Asus Transformer TF300T with a USB joystick though. Don't know if it'd be any different for that controller.

usb would be better performance as the one I have is Bluetooth and I'm using Tf201, which is bad performance when both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are enabled.

FYI that I made a new sticky thread listing those devices we have tested, and the bluetooth controllers we support.
