    Connecting Xbox360 Controller to Xoom - Cannot get certain buttons to map?

    I recently purchased an OTG usb cable for the xoom. My plan is to play classic games with friends on my Xoom. I hooked up my 360 controllers to my Xoom and all the emulators recognize the controllers. The only problem is that both L/R trigger buttons and the right thumbstick wont map to anything. I tried my friends PS3 controller and it worked FLAWLESSLY. I really don't want to have to buy PS3 controllers just to play games on my Xoom.

    Has anyone had any luck getting the L/R Triggers and Right thumbstick to work?

    Nope, I had this problem too. Ended up buying a $25 no-name wired PS3 controller.

    Me too, you can get them cheap.

    I appreciate the replies, I guess I will just have to eat the cost. Tell me have you guys had any luck with connecting more than one PS3 controller to the Xoom via USB HUB? I have not tried it yet.

    I have not done it myself, but I saw a YouTube video of someone doing it. Should work fine.

    I've never tried a PS3 controller with the Xoom, and I've never tried using more than one 360 controller at a time. But I have tried using 2 Wiimotes at the same time, and could never get it to work right. Both controllers would connect, but the Xoom couldn't seem to tell the difference between the 2 controllers. For example, pushing left on the D-pad on one controller was no different than pushing left on the D-pad on the other controller. Maybe I was missing something, but that kind of defeats the purpose

    To add to the discussion, I say a You Tube clip of 2 guys playing Killer Instinct with 2 players with a PS3 controller via OTG cable and Wii Remote with Classic Controller.... seemed to work well!
