It's a wonderfully comfy controller just to hold. Its buttons and sticks are high quality to the touch. And I love the robust collection of shortcut buttons at the center of the pad that let you easily capture screenshots, accessGoogle clearly poured a lot of resources into researching and developing a controller for Stadia. It's all effort that now, sadly, may have been wasted.
After Stadia's cutoff date of January 18, 2023, the pad will no longer be able to connect to your PC wirelessly. You should still be able to use it as a generic controller via a wired USB-C connection, but if you want to go wireless, you're plum out of luck. That's only if Google chooses not to unlock Bluetooth functionality for the Stadia controller. the pad'sconfirms it's Bluetooth compatible, but that functionality has never been enabled. Now that Stadia's on the way out, perhaps that Bluetooth functionality is there for just such an event. It'd be a fantastic way of keeping the Stadia controller in use after the service shuts down.
Google is offering refunds for the controller, which is more than you might expect from a company that's winding down a service, but it would be a crying shame if the tech ended up in a landfill somewhere when it could live on as an excellent third-party controller.Rhys is Hardware Writer for TechRadar Gaming, and while relatively fresh to the role, he's been writing in a professional capacity for years.
