New Owner + Controller ???
« on: August 16, 2016, 09:46:10 AM »
Hi All
I Have Just Become a New Q10 Pro Owner 
The First Thing I Did Was Update To The Latest Firmware and Add a 2Tb Hard Drive
Up till Now I'm Very Pleased With The Box  ;D
I Have Read That You should Be Able To Pair a PS3 Controller ???
I Have Tried BUT No Good  :(    Any One Been Able To Do This ... Or Do I Buy A New Controller ???

I don't think you'll be able to get a PS3 controller to work with Q10 Pro. But I'd be happy to be proved wrong, where did you read that you could?

There are a couple of compatible controllers listed here: http://www.futeko.com/newforum/index.php?topic=904.0

Namely, Xiaomi Wireless Bluetooth Gamepad Joypad Game Controller and Logitech F710.

Hi again
I have read on other Android forums that you can use the PS3 controller by using a program called sixaxis control ... Or something like that ... There is a free sixaxis  test  pro a on the App Store. ...  My PS3 controller did not show up ... So may be incompatible. ???
One of your surgested game pads is wireless  ????  As I have the Q10 connected via network cable ... I have switched of the wireless  ... So I think I have to use a Bluetooth gaming pad ???
BTW
         I have just updated to the new ... New software ... Seems to be running great ...
Take care from

The wireless gamepad works using a RF USB dongle to connect to the gamepad. It doesn't need wi-fi to be turned on.

I tried pairing a PS4 controller without success, by using the aformentioned sixaxis app.
Now i own a Xiaomi bluetooth gamepad. The design and feel of it is good (x360 clone), but the analog sticks are way too sensitive for my taste and sometimes i lose connection for a few seconds... so i'd recommend getting a Logitech F710. It's what i'm eventually gonna get as well.

Without having tested it, I think the chances are high that it would work. Q10 Pro runs fairly standard Android 5.1, so most peripherals designed for Android will work.

Hi Again ...
Yes I think the "GameSir" game controller is the way to go ... Its not to expensive ... also it looks like it will work with PC PS3 and Android  :)
As soon as someone confirms it works on Q10 Pro ... I shall buy one ...
Take care
