XInput support | |
---|---|
- Must be connected via USB.
- Google developed the controller for Stadia. The controller includes two thumbsticks, a directional pad, four main face buttons, two sets of shoulder buttons, and five additional controller face buttons.
- The controller has the capability of connection over a wireless network, rather than through the device that the user is playing on, as to reduce the latency of controller communication with Stadia services.
- The controller is available in a variation of four colors at its launch.
- Controller is not working wirelessly with the exception of the Stadia games supported via WiFi connection
.
Availability
Use with PC platforms
Windows
- Custom application reWASD lets remap whole controller and works on Windows 7 or newer. Software gives advanced customization options eg. reassigning buttons to keyboard or mouse actions, macros, activate custom modes etc.
- It is possible to use the controller as a Xinput Compatible controller (and thus, have better game support and rumble) when wired using this program : stadiacontroller
- Controller is not working wirelessly.
reWASD
- Capture, Google Assistant and Stadia buttons can be remapped.
- Allows emulate virtual DS4 controller to play PS4 Remote Play or PS Now.[1]
- Allows emulate virtual Xbox 360 controller to play XInput compatible games.
- Not free of charge. 14-days trial.
- Custom configs for Stadia controller can be found in official Community Configs Library maintained by reWASD users.
XInput wrapping
- Acting as native DirectInput controller, it's possible to use any of the generic wrappers. See the controller article for those.
Chrome OS
- This controller is "Plug and Play" on Chrome OS.
- Controller is not working wirelessly.
- Google Assistant and Capture buttons works as design. It's not possible to remap them easily.
Steam
- Can be recognized as Xbox 360 controller but after manual assignment. Controller cannot be found in Supported Controller Database, so Steam recognizes it as standard DirectInput device.
- Not capable of making full use of Steam Input. Steam is not letting control Stadia button light and bind additional buttons (Capture and Google Assistant).
Steam Link compatibility
- Works without any drivers on any operating system that supports Steam.
- Can be used just to send input from a controller to a PC. Go into Streaming options, hit Y and disable video and audio streaming.
- Controller connected via USB works as expected.[2]
- Won't work great unless you connect it to LAN or a low latency Wi-Fi.
Support In Games
- Support for some controller features may be only available on certain systems. Refer to game-specific articles for details.
Games in Tandem Mode
- When you link your Stadia Controller wirelessly to Stadia, you can plug a secondary controller directly into its USB-C port. When you press buttons on the secondary controller, it will act as though the primary controller's buttons are being pressed. This is called Tandem Mode.
- This is an early, experimental version of this feature that is intended to expand the input device options for Stadia players. A limited set of controllers are currently supported. Check below for more information. See more.
- Audio is not supported on the secondary controller, and when using Tandem Mode, the USB port on the primary controller can only be used for connecting the secondary controller.
- You can use either controller to play games on Stadia, or both at the same time.
- To use Tandem Mode, Stadia Controller must be linked wirelessly to Stadia.
- In Tandem Mode, inputs from both controllers are registered as if they're coming from your primary, wirelessly linked Stadia Controller. This means you and a second player can play in a cooperative “friend mode” where you share the game's inputs.
- Supported controllers (* - vibration supported):
- Stadia Controller*,
- Xbox Adaptive Controller,
- Xbox Series X/S Controllers*,
- Xbox One Controller*,
- Xbox One Elite Controller (Series 1 and 2)*,
- Xbox 360 Wired Controller,
- Xbox 360 Controller Wireless Adapter,
- Sony DualSense Controller*,
- Sony DualShock 4 Controller*,
- Sony DualShock 3 Controller,
- Switch Pro Controller,
- Valve Steam Controller,
- Valve Steam Controller Wireless Adapter.
