preferred game controller for MY

[Robospartan]

Hi All

I'm looking to buy a set of game controllers to keep in my MY (Johnny 5) and wanted to see what set up other people have. I've seen some posts about the EasySMX wired controller, but the reviews on amazon show that they break/lose functionality rather quickly.

Any help would be appreciated.

Does the xbox controller work wirelessly or does it need to be wired?

It definitely works wired, haven't even thought of trying it wireless. No idea if there's an option to pair it to the car.

If you want to spend a bit less than an Xbox game controller, I bought this one last year, based on some recommendations here, for $15 and it works perfect in the Model Y on all games.

If you search for "Tesla" in the Amazon Customer questions & answers section, you'll see Tesla owners reporting that this works perfectly in their Model S, Y & 3.

It does not work wireless natively. There are reviews that say this adapter allows an xbox (or other) controllers to work wirelessly.

I purchased the wireless Logitech Game Pad 7F10, which was on sale for $29 two days ago, but it's selling for $39 today. Reviews say it works on the Model Y, but I won't know until it arrives tomorrow.

I got one of these a few days ago and it works. For some reason it didn’t work with the USB port in the center console though, but it worked with the USB in the glovebox.

I'm using my PS4 controller. At first it didn't work but I tried a different micro-usb cable and it works great now.

I like the xbox controller. I finally got everything working correctly and made it wireless with the Mayflash NS. Do not make the same mistake I made and get a Brand NEW Xbox controller series X because that does not work with the mayflash. Had to buy the series S and that does work wirelessly. They both work wired with cables however.

Thanks for the update. I am curious about using the Mayflash NS. Are you plugging this in under the dash or in the glovebox? My car is pre glovebox outlet. Thanks

I have a Model Y preglovebox usb so in center console only. I recently received my Jeda USB Hub so I have been using that, but before I plugged into both the USB C and the USB A and both ports would work with Mayflash and wired controllers.

I have a MY with a USB port in the glovebox, should I be able to use my game controller in the center dash port and glovebox? I have a Logitech F310 controller and it only seems to work if I plug it into the glovebox port.

I bought the Logitech F310 and have it plugged into the center consol. No issues with playing beach buggy.

I gt this one too but USB connection does not work with Car USB-C ports.

Are you using USB from glove box?

No. Using the USB-A ports in the center console via a Taptes hub.

$17 wireless controller works well on my model Y. I had the wired xbox controller and the wireless is waaaay better. I also have the Taptes hub and just keep the receiver plugged into one of the usba ports.

Also tried an XBOX ONE white controller

None of these have worked, wired or wirelessly.

Going to try the Logitech 310 next I think. Or the one above. Just not happy with the size of either of these.
