Hi :slightly_smiling_face:

Is there a way to print out the controller layout for each game to have it on paper ?

For stadia via chrome browser, open the controller layout and hit the print screen key. Then open Microsoft paint and paste. I used windows 10 and it was easy. stadiacontrollertest.jpg

@DarkTrinity So just to confirm, you're playing the Stadia game using your PC through Chrome browser right? If that's the case, you can try plugging the controller directly to your computer using the USB cable. That way the game will detect that you're using a controller. From there, you can either use the print screen button on the controller, or use the print screen button on your keyboard to take screenshot.

That won't work for me. I do have Google Chrome with TV and Stadia Controller in a dedicated subnet.

So on my computzer with chromebrowser Stadia does not "see" the gamepad and therefor only shows the keyboard & mouse layout. Therefor I need to handle this by making screenshots on my Chrome Google TV

AHHHHHHHHHHH..... :squinting_face_with_tongue: of course, thanks a lot for this hint. I totally forgot that I can also connect the controller per USB (rather than WLAN).

And yes, I normally play on the chromecast with google tv, where the pad is connected by wlan. this is a dedicated subnet.

on the computer with chrome i normally only play those games, where i prefer to control by keyboard and mouse.

but to catch the controller layout the method you mentioned of course is much more comfortable :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

@DarkTrinity Glad I was able to help! Actually now you also gave me an idea. I'm the type of person that often forgets button mappings. Maybe I need to print them as well for some of my games :slightly_smiling_face:
