Maybe I should send him a Stadia controller? Maybe someone will get some utility out of it with Google completely killing Stadia off.

- darknavi 4y agoDoes it have USB drivers?
- binkHN 4y agoWhile I've never tried it in that way, I understand it should function as a standard USB game controller when wired, but its real gem would be fully leveraging its wireless support.
- AstixAndBelix 4y agoThe problem is that Stadia controllers use wireless in the sense of WIFI, not bluetooth. This means that in order to make them work not only is the RE work even harder, but you'd probably have to create a completely new driver since I'm unaware of any other device that can input commands from the internet; whereas with bluetooth we already have extensive tools to deal with it
- AstralStorm 4y agoTechnically writing such a driver using ViGem should not be all that hard once you reverse the WiFi protocol this controller uses.
- yencabulator 4y agoIt's likely trying to talk HTTPS to Stadia servers, can't work with that without new firmware.
- yencabulator 4y agoIt seems the Stadia controller contains a Broadcom BCM43458 Bluetooth 4.2 chip. https://www.reddit.com/r/Stadia/comments/xwcedv/i_spent_10_hours_reverseengineering_the_stadia/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Stadia/comments/xwcedv/i_spent_10_h...
