(Part 2) Top products from r/theNvidiaShield

If you don't mind used, or like new, Swappa, or Ebay. I bought mine off Swappa, but it looks like most only ship inside the US, maybe check back some other time on Swappa. http://swappa.com/buy/nvidia-shield-tablet-wifi

A Wireless 360 controller works perfectly, you just need a wireless receiver that's made for PC, like this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-Wireless-Gaming-Receiver-Windows/dp/B000HZFCT2#

And an OTG cable: http://www.amazon.com/eForCity-Micro-USB-OTG-Adapter/dp/B005QX7KYU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1410988101&sr=8-1&keywords=otg+cable

I'm definitely interested. I'm on the east coast as well. The controller retails for 50 I believe last I looked. Depending upon how much shipping is if it'll still save me money @35 I'll go for it. Pming you now.

Edit* - Looks like it actually retails for 60 - https://www.bestbuy.com/site/nvidia-shield-wireless-controller-black/5709707.p?skuId=5709707

I use this one on mine, it is made of glass. The screen still looks beautiful and I feel as if it is protected. It might not be necessary but I use glass screen protectors on everything I own, especially if it's something I take out of the house or travel with just for my own security. My mom has cracked and majorly scratched up a glass screen protector on her iPhone 6 Plus but her phone was never harmed, so I feel they are worth the extra bit of money because I feel they do work.

You might not ever take your tablet out of the house so getting something cheaper/a plastic protector might be more economical, this is just my preference.

we have at home 2 shield tablet and one tegra note 7, I love them all, been using them to play, for work, and to study take notes etc. And it seems a lot of people are happy with, and don't forget, happy people almost never leave any review or comment about a device.

If you can't go through warranty, you can buy Analog Caps on Amazon for 5 dollars. This should fit on your shield since the size of the analog on the xbox 360 controller were basically the same. Just put it up on the analog and It's ready to go. But if you don't want this. You can try the harder way, buy parts on ebay and disassemble the shield and replace the analog. But analog caps are great and cheap option.

That should be plenty of space and speed. However, I'd probably look at benchmarks and find the fastest card you can afford. Lexar and Samsung make some great cards as well.

I'd also maybe suggest taking a look at the Sandisk Ultra Fit flash drive. It sits kinda flush, so it might be a workable solution for much faster speeds.

I have yet to use it much or program any extra buttons.
But from what i've gathered
there are no codes provided when you get the item

You have to find a "code database" online on their site and it has the basic sections and none for android tv, android, nvidia etc so i asked for the code here.

The contoller did come pre-configured for xbone and seems to work with all the buttons i've tried (again haven't used it much yet)
As far as NASTV it works the same. Its pretty smooth thus far. What little buttons i've tried have worked.
One little thing though the IR on Shield must not be that great as i cant point it outside like a 45 degree view of the box or it won't work.


Also be carefull too beacause i read on their forum that they recently put out a 2nd revision controller that is indentical to the prebious one but has Shield TV support is supposed to be pre-configured. In my process i have ordered both. The one without Shield in the title and one with.
Neither are pre-configured. So i am just keeping the 1st one already with the code and working.
*Also note from my exp and from what i've read its the same thing. Good product but Horrible support. So not expect much from them


1st one i bought

On The Go USB Cable

because there is shared access to the charger and no native female-full-size-usb port one of these are required to plug a fullsize usb device or usb hub into the shield.

i use this specific one with a guitar hero usb and plug mouse and keyboard, wired ethernet, and razer sabertooth up to this with this cable.

it would have been nice for them to have included both the micro usb charger and a separate full size usb port or even a proprietary connector running to a usb hub, fullsize hdmi, and ethernet

I went with a really fast USB3 thumb drive--kinda the best of both worlds.

Your R/W speeds are going to be significantly slower with a microSD card compared to a USB3 thumbdrive or SSD. I chose this thumbdrive over the SSD because it's physically smaller than an SSD+powered adapter.

It's worked fabulously for me so far. It's plugged directly into the back of the Shield where it's 100% unnoticeable, and if I need to use more than 1 USB port for anything else I can always plug a hub into the remaining USB port.

But I would definitely go with either a USB thumbdrive or SSD over a microSD.

Yeah another thing I hope gets worked out is Bluetooth keyboard/mouse support. I have This and some buttons work but not all of them. I just can't bring myself to play FO4 on a controller.

My friend gave me this keyboard and have been using it since the HP touchpad. I also bought the mouse on clearance and it's a nice combo.

I'm enjoying the Microsoft Universal Keyboard, which isn't a case but is very portable and much more responsive than the keyboard case I used with my older iPad.

I realize it's not what you're asking for but it's something to consider.

I assume you're referring to the K1 tablet. Yes, you can get an OTG cable that supports charging and connect it to a network adapter.


This two in combination work:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003VSTDFG

I use these. They do slightly touch the screen when closed. However, other than leaving 2 feint circle smudges on your screen, they work great.

I don't think it needs a screen protector, but it's a good idea to have it in a case in my opinion.

I use this one, which is convenient because closing the lid turns off the screen, and it fits in my controller's grips while in this case.

I just ordered this remote off amazon - works better on shield than the actual shield remote, and it controls 3 other devices.

Thanks! will purchase now.

Does your AIO have an output port? like hdmi out? I have a computer that i do not plug into a monitor that I use for my gamestream. They have these hdmi dongles you can plug into the port, and it thinks there is a monitor on the other side even though there is not. HERE

Oops linked to the wrong one, I have this one and it's a little tight but the USB does fit

Note Sure if you're still looking for a wall mount but I just found this.

While I do agree that charging takes quite a while my K1 tablet that I got around christmas charges just fine when playing games. I've found that it will typically charge much slower and with some games it might slightly lose charge for a short duration. I have my tablet on marshmallow.

Perhaps it's your charger? I'm using one from the HP touchpad, here.

I bought this one.

I saw this one:

Here is the mobile version of your link

the one that I use

It's in stock on Amazon, which is where I got mine. However it's cheaper by almost $30 on their website if you're willing to wait for them to restock. Looking around online, people have also suggested Best Buy, saying that even at their physical stores they still have plenty of stock.

Are you in the US? On the main listing, there's no controller.

No, you need this https://www.amazon.com/NVIDIA-SHIELD-Controller-Android/dp/B01N7DQ0L6

Edit: Actually I take that back, I believe they have to be bluetooth though. https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/692880/shield-portable/shield-bluetooth-mouse-and-keyboard-support/
