It's called an OTG cable. Typed it into amazon and this is one of the first ones that popped up.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00B4GGW5Q/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1421845379&sr=8-2&dpPl=1&dpID=41rZu34Yh5L&ref=plSrch&pi=AC_SY200_QL40

Plug that into your controller and then plug the USB part into the OTG cable and the other side into your phone/tablet. At least I think so. I don't own one personally but I'm pretty sure I've seen people recommend these before.

To answer your question @Helixcod:
Yes and no, you can play it anywhere you have an internet connection, but you will have to VPN (on a network outside of the one your PC resides on). They will be adding the feature to play it elsewhere soon though. You will also need a program like Pinnacle to play on the built-in controller, as well as a controller hooked up to your PC. The Pinnacle profile/addon can be found here This is actually something I made and it is still in testing, but I seemed to like the way it worked.


I have the Nvidia Shield and when I tested ESO on it, it ran pretty well. I have quite a few adapters/cables to allow me to not only play on the HDTV, but also wired internet. The Shield takes a mini HDMI to HDMI cable and to play with wired internet, you need an OTG (On the Go) adapter and a specific network adapter. I say specific because not all will work. The OTG adapter allows you to plug in USB cables into the Shield through the charging port (same port as most android phones). The network adapter allows you to plug an ethernet cable into the Shield for better connectivity. I also bought a hub so I could use all of these as well as an Xbox 360 controller.

The OTG adapter can be found here. The ethernet adapter can be found here.

Had a lot of fun with my Shield, but I bought a gaming laptop, so I won't be playing it too much anymore. Cool to have though. They will be adding remote gaming soon, so you can connect to your PC and game on an outside network.

I would say overall, it is very much worth this price. It's a cool device to play with and if you want a bit of freedom (but don't have a gaming laptop) go for it. It is considered an Android Tablet, so all of the Google Play store apps will work with it. If you have any more questions, let me know.

PS: No I'm not an Nvidia sales rep :P

u/Subculture1000 · 4 pointsr/AndroidTV

I use this one:

http://www.amazon.com/Plugable-Gigabit-Ethernet-Chromebook-Specific/dp/B003VSTDFG

It has built in drivers in Android. Plug it in, and the Nexus Player will automatically use it instead of wifi.

If you're ONLY plugging it in with no hub, use this:

Sorry, I saw that you linked to Amazon.ca, so:

u/raptor12347 · 3 pointsr/AndroidQuestions

If you have a USB OTG cable you could plug a wired mouse into it. A cursor will appear on screen for you to navigate. Just an idea. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00B4GGW5Q/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1418670984&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SY200_QL40o)

u/PhyterJet · 3 pointsr/theNvidiaShield

sorry no touch screen controls.

But any bluetooth controller, or a USB controller via an OTG adapter will work. I use a wireless 360 controller.

u/stiv2k · 3 pointsr/Justrolledintotheshop

This is the one I have, from Amazon. It works really well for situations like this, but it isn't perfect. It has very little rigidity, so I had to resort to twisting the cable around to steer the camera. Also I wouldn't dare use any of the attachments that come with it, because I was skeptical of how securely they attach to the unit. The last thing I wanted was to have the attachment come loose and have it too fall into the oil pan.

The price seems to have gone down since I bought it a year ago. I paid $23.99 for it, It's $16.99 now. Honestly, for that price, it's a really good thing to have. I also used this USB adapter so that it would connect to my phone.

u/CaptainMiserable · 3 pointsr/Nexus7

You can use one of these controllers and this USB adapter to play N64 games on your nexus. Just make sure you are using an emulator that allows you to map buttons. Works great. I have only tried this with one controller though. I can try it with two if anyone is interested.

u/CptnKickass · 2 pointsr/Nexus10

There's USB controllers that are the style of generic, N64, NES, SNES, Xbox, PS, or whatever else you want. You can use them via a cheap micro USB to USB adapter. I use the N64 and generic ones myself.

u/readit_getit · 2 pointsr/galaxynote4

I bought this one.

Note that there are over 600 +ive reviews and over 100 -ive ones. I can't attest to its quality after a few uses, but I can assure you it fits the Note 4. Your call.

It's inexpensive and comes with Amazon Prime shipping. There are a bunch of these on Amazon even if you decided to look at another one. Just search for OTG cables.

u/GazeboOfDeath · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace

Here's the one I got. I'd recommend that everyone with an Android phone that's a power user get one.

u/fincheresque · 2 pointsr/theNvidiaShield

I use this:
http://www.thesource.ca/estore/product.aspx?language=en-CA&catalog=Online&category=WiredNewtwork&product=2513258

and this:

http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00B4GGW5Q/ref=oh_details_o03_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I know it's not a single-cable solution, but I already had the USB ethernet Adapter before I bought the shield.

The microUSB to USB adapter is nice because it doesn't have the right-angle connector most do (to block the audio, or hdmi port), and you can also use it for...I don't know...other USB stuff that Android supports.

Anyway, I know it's not exactly what you were looking for, but it works, and you can get it in Canada.


u/Linos_Melendi · 2 pointsr/Android

You're better off just getting a controller phone clip and a micro USB adapter, this is what I use:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00ZWWMD56/

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00B4GGW5Q/

Works wonders with my ps4 controller on my phone

u/applevinegar · 2 pointsr/audiophile

That won't work.

You need to buy (this), provided that your phone has software support. Which phone is it?

u/ExiledSanity · 2 pointsr/headphones

You need something like this.

https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-5in-Micro-Host-Adapter/dp/B00B4GGW5Q/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_107_tr_t_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=9B8QJFN2FTB5GF4Q134H

Your phone should output audio via usb and into your dac. I just got one and it works well on both devices I've tried. You'll need to find one with the correct plug type for your phone, the one I linked to is micro usb.

u/suziesamantha · 2 pointsr/HomeNetworking

I don't think you will find what you are looking for. The Cisco console cable has an adapter built into the cable. You cannot just connect the wires from USB directly to an Ethernet cable and have it work. You will have to have an Ethernet adapter. Why not just take something like this and plug an ethernet cable into it and then put heat shrink tubing over the connector. I think that is the closest thing you will find. If you are looking to extend your USB connection over cat5 you will require an adapter for that as well. You could use this and a USB OTG adapter.

If you could give more information on your "specific reasons" that you don't want to use adapters maybe it would help with suggestions that would meet your needs.

u/boxcarracer1478 · 2 pointsr/Android

I got an OTG Cable and I plug my Xbox 360 controller into it. Works like a charm and I haven't had to do any custom button mapping yet.

u/reegmo · 1 pointr/AndroidQuestions

You can mirror your screen to a Chromecast plugged into a monitor or TV with an HDMI port. This requires a wifi network.

Use a USB-on-the-go adapter and a USB hub to connect keyboard and mouse. You can't charge while using it.

u/uBorba · 1 pointr/FFBraveExvius

Lots of ways to buid these machines. But there's already a much simpler method if you want to use Arduino Wich is very cheap.
Buy any: Teensy, or ATMega 32u4 compatible Arduino Board, connect to device to emulate an external HID device, and use Mouse and/or Keyboard library to send the clicks/touches. For clicks you can programmatically move the mouse cursor to desired position and send click.

EDIT: No PC or emulator is needed,, Android supports external HID devices, you may need an USB adapter "male micro-USB, female Type-A".

EDIT2: There's also a subreddit Arduino community to help in any detail or situation. I can also help.

u/carloselcoco · 1 pointr/Random_Acts_Of_Amazon

So I got a keyboard for my Toshiba Encore Mini. The thing is that I need this in order to plug it in! xD

u/ManlyPoop · 1 pointr/changemyview

> This is especially infuriating in emulated games when my thumbs are going all over the place.

Trythis adapter and use it to plug your xbox/ps4 controller into your android phone. All of the popular emulators support it.

u/s-hf · 1 pointr/fossdroid

Not sure if this is the best method, but you could buy something like a micro USB to USB A adapter (something like this) and then just connect a normal USB mouse to your phone as an input device.

If you can then use your phone, use an app like SMS Backup and Restore to get SMS and call history off of the device.

There might be a way to get everything you need from entering recovery then connecting the phone to a computer, but I'm not entirely sure.

u/Rider797 · 1 pointr/lgg2

This is what I'm talking about, it allows you to use a flash drive with your phone. The problem is if you don't have one or know someone that does, then it won't help you much immediately.
