You can use "any" controller on Stadia too (I'm assuming by any you meant the popular consoles controller):

There's a common misconception that because Stadia has its own controller and because playing Stadia through Chromecast requires that controller (because Chromecast has no Bluetooth so the only way to connect would be something like a wifi controller like the Stadia Controller) that you cannot use other controllers to play Stadia, that's incorrect.
- axaxs 7y agoSorry, I should have been more clear. I'm a stay at home, couch player. So the only method of playing for me is via the Chromecast, which only supports the Stadia controller. The controller is decent, but the battery life is not up to snuff with the Nvidia or Xbone ones.
- wyqydsyq 7y agoSteam Controllers support both WiFi and Bluetooth connections, and yet Stadia does not support them
- rossjudson 7y agoIs that possible? Presumably Valve controls the firmware on those devices.
- denkmoon 7y agoAs Microsoft control the firmware on the Xbox controller, and Sony the dualshock. Wifi controller is a bit of a dead concept, so I would understand not supporting that, but the bluetooth functionality of steam controllers works just like any other bluetooth controller by exposing a HID to the host.
