In recent times we posted a story to play any PC game on Android, but Google Play is also flooded with numerous amazing games to create fun for Android, normally people use PlayStation 3 or Wii controller with the Android devices, but now a senior XDA developer member sleeplessninja has found a way to pair the Xbox 360 controller with Android, however currently the method can be applied on just Nexus 7. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with the Wii and PlayStation 3 controller but it’s for those who own an Xbox 360 or prefer Xbox 360.

Normally people use a wired controller and a USB OTG cable for the Xbox controller, there’s already a method that allow you to play games on Nexus 7 with a Xbox 360 Wireless Controller Dongle but so many games can’t be played with that and the developer has just fixed that way, developer’s words:

So when i searched through the /system/usr/keylayout/ I saw there was a profile for the xbox 360 wired controller so I thought why not copy the profile and name it a wireless xbox controller. This idea worked. You name keylayouts by Vendor ID and Product ID which I also was able to get from the logcat. What is nice about this is I think we can use this to solve issues with other controllers as well, but I don’t know of any that are also having problems.

Which means, you need to modify a few things, after that you’ll be able to pair your Xbox 360 controller, it’s important to note that your Nexus 7 must be rooted, so check out our this guide or this guide if your device’s not rooted yet. You can get the full guide on the original thread of XDA here.
