My android device will work with a wii-mote just fine, as long as there are keyboard commands I can map to the damn thing.
Why would I want that overabundant cumbersome, and undoubtedly overpriced solution?

Looks like a really ugly 360 controller.

That has been the genral comment on the articles I have seen

With Jelly Bean 4.2.* there were bluetooth issues that made touchtojoy (or was it the other way?) and wii-motes not work on rooted Android devices. Sixaxis included their own drivers as a workaround, afaik.

Perhaps this is some collusion between Google and Samsung as a consolation for the Nexus contracts :p

I'm yet to try USB Joystick Center and Joy2Touch on the new TF300T update to 4.2.1

Might do some experimentation tonight. Thanks for reminding me.

Please do Jaredmorgs !
I have a TF700T and they are on the list for 4.2.1 sometime this quarter.
I've heard the same thing as Netizen and if there are issues I will stay at 4.1.1
