Mouse and keyboard with chromecast use soon?

Hello. Will Stadia on Chromecast at any point have mouse and keyboard support? Yes, before someone points it out, I'm aware they can be used on the chrome browser. Having this support would be great for games like ESO online where typing is important. 

 

It would be even more important for a game like Baldur's Gate 3 where the gamepad is in Beta and even Larian recommends not using it. Stadia is currently one of only two platforms to play BG3. I am pretty sure as a team, you would want to capitalize on that fact and give the best experience possible. We all know Stadia needs to put in the effort to get more people on board. Adding this support would definitely do that. 

I really hope a team member sees this and responds

Maybe (but don't hold your breath). The Stadia controller has something called "tandem" mode: https://support.google.com/stadia/answer/10043273?hl=en which allows another controller (including the Xbox Adaptive Controller) to be plugged in via the USB-C port. However, this does not support mouse and keyboard at this time, and it's entirely possible it never will. I personally would love to see that, but it's likely this feature was developed to enable greater accessibility for those who can't use the standard controller directly, and there just may not be enough of us who'd like to see this to justify prioritizing development of this feature. All of that said, if you want to see it, use the Feedback feature in the Stadia app to let Google know.

Why not Zoidberg?

Done. I honestly don't know how seriously they look into or follow through with feedback we give but there goes something.

WiFi-Mouse and Keyboard! ...with the possibility to connect your headset to the WiFi-Keyboard, would be great!
