Nice Stadia controller!

[–] CafecitoHippo@lemm.ee 13 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Thanks. Never used a Stadia though. My old DS4 controller was seeing some stick drift and I didn't have a ton of cash at the time to replace it and saw someone selling a Stadia controller for $5 since the service was shutting down. They didn't realize it could be unlocked for bluetooth use on PC. It's a nice controller though.

I really liked the form factor on them. My partner and I were heavy stadia users during the pandemic.

I ended up grabbing quite a few as people sold them off after the shutdown. Really can't be beat for $5-10.

Yeah someone had it for $10 + free shipping on eBay and I noticed oddly enough they were about 8 miles from me so I just messaged them if they'd take $5 and I'd come pick it up so no fees or hassle with shipping.

That's a great come up.

[–] CafecitoHippo@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah, was a nice stroke of luck.

Nice I manged to get a midnight blue variant for £17 myself. After some twiggling around with third party drivers the stadia controller works like a dream

I honestly miss stadia the service. I thought for what it was it was quite good it was like having a xbox series s in my pocket or on my low end ~~mac~~mintbook air 2012

I have a midnight blue I use on my desk and a sealed green tea one for admiration. It's too bad the service shut down. It was really nice to play games with some of my friends who normally wouldn't be bothered with gaming. Stadia just made the barrier to entry so low it was great.
