So I've been looking for a good controller for my android TV (Skyworth BingeTV) I settled on a Rippa RA902B ps3 compatible game pad I went to the add accessories section where my remote is and I clicked the add accessory thing and searching accessories came up I held the middle button on the controller and it started flashing quickly, although they didn't seem to be communicating I also connected the controller to the android TV with the cable which caused the lights to flash slower, I went to the add accessory menu again but they still didn't connect Is this the controller or the android TV, I've got a slip for the controller so I can take it back, but I'd rather not because that's a much better controller than the others I've looked at
Have you checked around Skyworth communities? Which Android version is that thing on?
On the Shield, I think one of our latest updates broke DS3 compatibility, so it may no longer work wireless until (if) they fix it. Not sure if other ATVs faced this same issue.
Does the controller ever show up in the list when pairing? If it's showing as paired but not working, you need to fully remove/forget it before trying to connect again.
