I here a lot of people talking about the Nyko Play Pad Pro. Well I prefer to use the Xbox 360 controller, which is completely possible with the Shield.

All you need to use is a dongle that has a USB female port on one end, and a micro USB male connector on the other as shown in the pictures to the left. 
You can get this from most electronics stores. Mine came with a cheap tablet I got from Big Lots. That tablet sucked by the way, but it was only $50 so what could I expect. Anyway I digress.

When you connect this dongle to the shield you can easily plug in a wired or even wireless Xbox 360 controller and it works perfectly with the shield. See the pic to the right to see my current setup. It's the dongle with the Xbox wireless dongle connected and the wireless 360 controller. Works like a charm and I highly recommend it.
