I found out my wii controllers are compatible with my SGS3 so I've hooked em up together and they work sweet as hell. I'd like to fuse both pieces with some neat looking holder, or, a working holder.

I am unsure of the design atm, but either i have the wiimote under my phone, or i have a nunchuck to the right and wiimote to the right.

You got any ideas?

It seems easier to just buy an Xbox 360 controller for your PC (with USB cord, not wireless) and connect it to your phone through an OTG cable (micro USB to normal USB). Then you just have two parts to put together instead of three.

I will most likely have two parts anyway, the nunchuck isn't connecting properly. I'll think about it, though wiimotes are a lot smaller than a xbox controller, so generally speaking, it should be easier to make a gamepad out of a wiimote.

Yeah, but how the heck will you hold the thing? I can't think of a good way to attach the mote so that it doesn't get in the way of the way you hold it.
Sure, you could attach it to the front of it (where the IR sensor is), but that seems like it would be seriously frail/unstable.

Good luck though.

But is that really a good way to hold it?
What about the button on the bottom of it?

Have you ever played new super mario bros wii? :P

I thought i could put what keeps them together in the middle, so i can still use the b button if necessary.
