Stadia controller buttons not working

Jump to Best Response

I recently bought a phone mount for my stadia controller. When I connect my phone (pixel 4) to my controller with a USB C connector they seem to be linked up. I can open a game (I've tried a few) but when I get to the games home screen only buttons B and Y are useable, they prompt a "exit game?" Menu. All other buttons are inactive, including start, screen cap, d-pad, assistant, etc.

Please help,

Thank you

Hi @kbirkey9,

What kind of USB cable are you using?
Maybe the USB type C cable you are using is mainly for charging and not for data transfer?
I had a issue once with a cheap cable. :grinning_face_with_sweat:

Try this:

enable USB debugging, USB debugging (Security settings) and Allow screen overlays
