Solution Sharing: for Nintendo Switch Joy-Con (NOT Pro) users having strange movement/button problem

Jump to Best Response
Just want to report and hope this info can help other players encounter the same issue like me.
 
If you are using Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Controller (NOT pro controller) to play on Stadia without any issue before, however only recently you started to see when you press any button it starts to act TWO times.
 
Ex: you press "down" then in the game or in Stadia home screen, the "down" is repeated two times, or avatar is "jumpy/flickering".  Then you might have the same issue as me.

After quite some researching and trial-and-error, I have solved it by using Chrome Canary or Chromium at version v94 94.0.4586.0 (Developer Build) (x86_64)), then controller works like a charm like before!  
 
(I am aware Joy-Con is not listed as official supported controller, but still hope above info help someone who is using it like me!) 
 
More technical info: 
 
It seems the current (as of 25-Jul-2021T15-31+0200) v92 Stable build (92.0.4515.107 (Official Build) (x86_64))
of Chrome has a bug on the Gamepad API which caused Joy-Con controller showing up two times. You can verify it by visiting https://gamepad-tester.com/ then if you also see he detects TWO controllers then you should have the same issue as me.

Or if you're a developer, then when you're on Stadia, if you open console, just enter the script below, you will also see it returns more than one controller. 

 

 

navigator.getGamepads();

Hi @Yoyo2021,

As the Nintendo controllers are not officially supported it is nice to see people are still able to use them.
Thanks for sharing your information! :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

I got the games free but won’t play. Everytime you touch a button on the stadia controller it opens up your status window and no button starts the game. On the remastered one I can’t even get past the “updated terms and conditions” window with the 3 slide buttons to accept. Nothing works it seems
