hey, so what am i missing here? I picked up a simple OTG cable for my nexus 5 in with the hopes i could connect my ps3 contoller. Nexus 5 no supporty otg? wtf is that all about. Should i just skip it and drop some hard earned coin on a moga controller?

Use stickmount. You will need to root your phone though.

If you want non-root options you can go with Nexus Media Importer.(but its a paid app)

Yep Nexus Media Importer is good!
If you can't buy the app get APK (I don't support piracy!).
Since there are no other app available!

^^ :facepalm: OP is not asking for "how to mount storage"

Keyboard and mice works even without root, without any apps. I dont know anything about PS3 controller.
