bluetooth gamepad?

I have not seen the question on the EVO forums so here it goes.

The NESOID program works really well, but, the onscreen gamepad is annoying.

Lack of a keyboard doesn't help.

I have looked and it appears the PS3 gamepads are bluetooth...

Has anybody been able to sync the gamepads with the EVO, and map the buttons properly in the program?

Putting the phone on the kickstand, and using a gamepad would make a really cool portable gaming system.

Thanks in advance.!!!!

Haven't seen anything with the PS3 remote but there is a work in progress with the Wii remote... I don't believe it's working on the EVO though...

Here's the link to XDA where development and progress can be tracked for Wii Remote:

If I remember correctly, 2.2 will address the support of BT Keyboards so maybe this will open the door for other BT devices such as BT Controllers... Personally, I could live with BT Keyboard support and some sort of profile manager to assign keys as needed, per game, and save for easy access later on...

Currently, there are only a few BT keyboards that they have been able to get functioning on the EVO and from what I read, it's not a easy as you would expect...
