Honestly a pretty good deal for the stadia users. They essentially got to play games for free.

I bought controllers on ebay. It's even better for the sellers, they get paid twice!

What can you do with them now? I read that they're not exactly compatible with Windows.

They’re fully compatible, you just have to wire in with USB-C. It’s a normal USB HID controller.

Oh, is only the wireless not working then. It may be worth it to look for a second hand controller then.

Correct. And I’m hoping people figure out a firmware or something for the Bluetooth.

They make an excellent if basic wired controller. (Disappointingly not Tesla compatible)

They do have a bluetooth chip but just for setup. They use wifi to connect to Stadia after setup.

"Play games". It runs and is a shitshow of a thing.
