You can see the running list of controllers here, which also shows their level of wired and wireless support currently allowed by Stadia.

It has an internal battery that’s rechargeable via a USB-C port. Google’s Stadia controller is designed for use with the cloud game streaming service, which it utilizes a combination of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi for connectivity. (Oddly, the pairing LEDs on the controller keep running back and forth as if it didn’t connect, but it worked with any Stadia game that I tried.)

Then pair it in your device’s Bluetooth settings.

To set it up, just click and hold the small sync button near the Switch Pro controller’s USB-C port. Your experience may vary, but it’s worth a try if you already own one. That said, it worked fine as a Bluetooth controller in our experience.

To use it with phones running Android 10 or later that support Stadia, Google lists the Switch Pro controller as not compatible with it either as a wired or wireless controller. If you want to connect it with a wire, Nintendo’s controller plugs in with a USB-C cable. The Switch Pro controller will work with Google Chrome on your PC, either wired or via Bluetooth.

Now, just make sure your target device (be it a phone or PC) is in pairing mode. This indicates that you’re ready to pair. Once it lights up, click and hold the connect button on the top edge of the controller until the Xbox logo blinks faster. To start pairing the controller, turn it on by holding down the Xbox button in the middle. If you have the newer Xbox Series controllers, fear not, as all of them support Bluetooth. If it has a 3.5mm headphone jack on the bottom, it’s another indication that it has Bluetooth and will work. Thankfully, there’s an easy way to tell: if your gamepad has glossy plastic surrounding the Xbox button, it does not support Bluetooth. Microsoft has made a few different models of that controller, one of which doesn’t support Bluetooth. They’re fairly easy and cheap to find, and you probably already own one or a few.īefore trying to connect your Xbox One controller via Bluetooth, ensure that it’s Bluetooth-ready to begin with. You can connect any of them to your PC with the corresponding cable.

The Xbox One controller, just like the DualShock 4, has a Micro USB port, while the newer Xbox Series controller got the upgrade to USB-C. Phones that can run Stadia will also support the controller, either wired or wire-free. Stadia supports these controllers on PC (on Chrome with version 77 or later installed) whether it’s wired or if you’re connected via Bluetooth. It’s the exact same story for the Microsoft Xbox Series X / S controller and older Xbox One controllers.

Sony’s DualShock 4 wireless controller is the standard gamepad for the PlayStation 4, though its Micro USB port and Bluetooth connection allow some usability with PCs. The light bar at the top of the controller will start to blink, an indicator that it’s looking for a device to pair up with.

Then, on the DualShock 4, press and hold its “Share” button just to the left of the touchpad, then hold the middle “PlayStation” button with the logo on it.

To connect it wirelessly via Bluetooth to either your computer or a phone, make sure the device that will host Stadia is in Bluetooth pairing mode.

The drivers should download automatically. To use a DualShock 4 with Stadia via a wired connection, just find a Micro USB to USB-A cable and link the two sources. So if you kept your DualShock 4 around, you’re covered until maybe future updates from Google enable DualSense support. Sadly, the newer PlayStation 5 DualSense controller does not share this Stadia compatibility. This controller also works with phones running Android 10 or later in wired or Bluetooth mode. Sony’s aging controller for the PlayStation 4 works wired or when connected via Bluetooth with your computer running Google Chrome (version 77 or greater).
