Connect Xbox Controller?

[stridermt2k]

I've just got my OTG cable and tried my wired 360 controler (and yeah, it's an official microsoft one).

Unfortunately, it lights up for a split second then goes dead again and doesn't work.

The cable works for USB storage, and the 360 controler works fine with my PC. I'm wondering if it's something to do with the custom rom/kernel I'm using.

EDIT: I posted that, pluged it in again and it worked first time - sod's law.

I'm guessing that a connection was loose somewhere. The OTG cable was super cheap and it's already very loose; the metal USB socket and the plastic around it aren't even connected and you end up pulling out the metal when you remove whatever you've plugged in.

It is easy to get a BAD OTG cable. Way too easy.

I went for this one, which was a recommendation from a fellow user here:

I went for this one, which was a recommendation from a fellow user here:
Amazon.com: T & S Electronics Micro USB Host Cable (OTG Cable) - Xoom, Galaxy S2, Acer Iconia A510, Toshiba Excite AT305, Google Nexus 7 & more.. LIFETIME WARRANTY!!!: Computers & Accessories

That's exactly the same one I got In fact, lots and lots of different sellers had that exact one.

Judging by all the pictures of them I saw whilst picking mine, they're all being churned out of the same factory somewhere before being sent to the people selling them on amazon.

My cable works though, so I wouldn't worry about yours.

I haven't ... mine still doesn't work.

I want to use my PS3 controller, but it is broken AND my PS3 yellow light of death, so I don't want to buy another PS3 controller...
