I thought i read some cheap ebay joypads work with tab, no settings or mods, they just work
Is this correct ?

Doing a Search for joypads in all of slateddroid, i found this, will this work for me too

Only reason i want a working joypad is for Game Emu's mainly Nes,Snes, and 64

So only for ICS and not Gingerbread, that's a shame, i prefer GB

I dont understand Samba's instructions ??

Made Xpad modules, I don't have controller to test but modules load ok.

use in this order:
su
insmod ff-memless.ko
insmod xpad.ko
dmesg
connect controller
dmesg

Are ko files installed like apk's ??

I think they work on gingerbread too....

The ko files are modules which you have to link to the kernel to get them to work, so you need to run a script or via the terminal enter those commands....

I placed them in /system/lib/modules, so the commands for me are:
su
insmod /system/lib/modules/ff-memless.ko
insmod /system/lib/modules/xpad.ko

Then to check if they loaded the command is lsmod (L-S-M-O-D)

Thx once again omarahum, i have no idea yet about writting scripts for Linux,

I have a usb play-station like controller plugged into my zt280 **3m*** android 4.3 and it works sort of, there's no way to map any buttons.

A mouse works well and gives you a nice small black cursor however im yet to try a keyboard but I understand you can plug in a usb hub then plug a mouse and a keyboard into your tablet again im yet to try this!

Has anybody else tried any other controllers or usb devises with Android?

Yep I've tried the keyboard, usb wireless mouse, bluetooth dongle, Internet wireless dongle and with hub and all work in all combinations. This is a good hub to look out for as it fits neatly against the side of the tablet and can be swivelled in virtually any direction - costs $6-$8 on ebay.
