Interesting to note that the controller connects to Amazon servers directly. Is that something new or has it been done before?

- 0xCMP 6y agoStadia's controller is also supposed to work like this
- kumarvvr 6y agoOhh, didn't know that.
- ehsankia 6y agoYup Stadia did it first, it actually makes a significant difference because bluetooth is quite slow, which is also why you can't really use bluetooth headphones for gaming. It connects directly through wifi so you can quickly switch between PC, chromecast and android without connecting it to any individual device.
- gustavetd 6y agoWell it's true that bluetooth actually induces latency but in the case of audio there is a lot of codec encoding / decoding shenanigans that produces a significant part of the perceived audio lag, which does not occur on controller / mouse / keyboard
