I wonder if I could use the Stadia controller on other gaming systems, like PC regular games, Nintendo Switch, iPad or Oculus Quest. It feels great and would like to use it more often…
So far I didn't managed to use it anywhere but on my phone and on Chromecast ultra.
Hi @Crazyrems,
It is designed to work on Stadia in mind, so if you want to use it for a other platform it is going to be with the Cable.
Don't think WiFi / Wireless support will ever come for a other system.
Though I found a Reddit post how to use your Stadia controller wired with Steam:
Open Steam Client.
Go to View tab > Settings > Controller > General Controller Settings.
Turn on Generic Gamepad Configuration Support.
Connect Stadia controller via USB - Steam should detect it.
Select Stadia Controller and map the buttons on-screen.
Turn on Big Picture Mode on top left corner of Steam client.
Launch the game and test it.
Okay, it’s been a while I tried playing with it. I remembered using a tool to emulate a xbox gamepad with any controller called Xbox360ControllerEmulator (x360ce). It’s just a shame the triggers are behaving like buttons.
Basically I don’t need Steam anymore, but still I can only play on PC.
Hope that helps.

reWASD for PC is already doing the trick for me for over a year now.
Very configurable, choose how it will be detected as what kind of controller.
Feel free to download and install the trial from their homepage.
