I only dabble on Stadia and play FIFA (not very well) on my Chromecast with Google TV. I can not justify paying the price of the Stadia controller. Can anyone recommend a decent compatible one with a budget of £20 or under. There are so many on Amazon I don't know which to go for. Thank you for any guidence
Hi @sirog201
Before you go purchase a controller, double check it with this controller compatibility list to make sure it will work properly. I would hate to see if you got a controller and then realized it wasn't working properly.
To use Stadia on Chromecast Ultra, you need a Stadia Controller. On Google TV or Android TV, you can use a Stadia Controller or a compatible Bluetooth controller. If you don't have a controller, you can play on your computer with a mouse and keyboard, or on a compatible mobile device with the touch gamepad.
You can pair a DualShock®4 Controller or Xbox One® Controller to your device using Bluetooth. Check how devices connect to Stadia in the following table:
| Gamepad type | Google TV or Android TV | On TV with Chromecast Ultra | On Google Chrome (version 77 or greater) | Supported phones with Android 10.0 or greater | iPhones and iPads |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stadia Controller | USB & Wi-Fi connectivity | Wi-Fi connectivity | USB & Wi-Fi connectivity | USB & Wi-Fi connectivity | Wi-Fi connectivity |

Hi,
Did you have the chance to buy one?
I have the same need, I don't want to buy expensive controllers (like those in the table of MrVacca).
I wish some cheap bluetooth controllers would work if the Android TV device correctly recognise them.
@7heEnd @sirog201 If you havent choosen anything yet your in luck!
There's a discount now for a controller and 4k chromecast: https://store.google.com/product/stadia either 22,22 in dollar or euro depending on your location.
Thanks for thinking of me. I did buy a cheap one which is ok but I think my wife has got one on this offer and sent it to Santa
Hi Sirog, which one did you buy? Does it work with Android TVs?
Thanks
Thanks very much mate, I checked now and it is not available. Maybe I was late.
