    I have a Nexus 9. I have looked at all sorts of controllers and as far as I can work out some controllers work with some games but not with others. Is this true?

    What I'm after is a controller preferably with 2 analogue sticks and decent buttons and quality. I would prefer it to be bluetooth as long as the lag/latency is not a big factor but I guess wired would do at a pinch if all else fails!

    Any ideas chaps? I'm at a lose as to what to buy. I just need something that will work with most/all controller supported games.

    Thanks in advance.

    Yes I was thinking of trying that. Got an OTG cable coming today but I have not rooted my tablet and have no idea how so I'm not sure it will work.

    both ps4 and xbox360 controllers worked for me.

    but there are a few TABLET only gamepads out there. AMAZON is good source.

    Thanks! Will have a look at Amazon. Currently watching vids on YouTube but sadly they seem to be from 2014 so far...

    EDIT: I guess a USB wired XBox One controller will work too?
