It works over its standard USB-C interface with a computer.

I got the same deal you did and use my Stadia controller with ROMs on my laptop when traveling. Works great. Excellent controller, too.

The wireless interface is actually WiFi and some form of Bluetooth and not easily jailbroken last time I checked.



I use the Stadia controller which I got for being a YouTube Premium subscriber to play Xbox Cloud games. Works flawlessly!


I finally find some use for stadia controller then

I had one of these too!


Yea they should definitely open source the firmware or at least do one last update to make it Bluetooth compatible. I as well got the promo deal.


That's good to know. I think the WiFi and/or Bluetooth was what I had looked for and found nothing. I'd want to use it for games on my Apple TV or Nintendo Switch.


Assuming it's possible, they should really patch the controllers to be used like a typical bluetooth controller.
