How to easily use your own controller with Google Stadia

 

To connect a DualShock 4 to Stadia wirelessly, simply grab a Micro USB to USB-A cable and connect the two sources. The drivers should automatically download.

To connect Stadia wirelessly over Bluetooth to a computer or a phone, ensure that the device hosting Stadia is in Bluetooth pairing mode. Then, on the DualShock 4, press and hold the “Share” button located immediately to the left of the touchpad, followed by the centre “PlayStation” button with the logo. The light bar at the controller’s top will begin to flicker, indicating that it is searching for a device to connect with. They should locate one another. If not, repeat the procedure.

XBox Series X/S Controllers or XBox One Controller

The Microsoft Xbox Series X / S controller and previous Xbox One controllers are identical. Stadia supports these controllers on PC (on Chrome version 77 or later), whether they are wired or Bluetooth-connected. Phones capable of running Stadia will also be able to use the controller, either tethered or wirelessly.

The Xbox One controller, like the DualShock 4, features a Micro USB connector, whereas the Xbox Series controllers include USB-C connectivity. You may connect any of them to your computer using the appropriate connector. They’re rather easy to obtain and inexpensive, and you probably already possess one or more.
