Your PS3 Controller Can Also be a Phone Controller

[GreenL420]

Flagship Android phones might be getting bigger screens, but that's not making game control much easier. Sometimes, you really need a controller.

There are dedicated phone controllers you could buy, sure, but if you've got a DualShock 3 lying around the house, you may as well use it instead.

Sixaxis Controller turns a PS3 pad into an Android-friendly input device, and while it's a little tricky to get running (and doesn't support every phone), it's still worth looking into, as when it works, it works well.

i was really hoping for something like this... its cool we can get all these games on there and sht but its a btch to have the joypad and buttons taking up half the screen... lol...

Damm that is awesome. I would love to have this. Sometimes when I'm playing a game on my phone it can be a bit fiddly so a controller would be awesome.

Perhaps knowing which app sets this up would help...

You have to root your phone, what a let down

Sick. I have a Galaxy S3. It says it doesn't work with some newer Samsungs though, and I haven't rooted it (and won't just yet, maybe when the next Android version is out). But still, nice!
