I agree. GOOGLE do the right thing and save the planet from a load of useful controllers that could benefit by having the availability of Bluetooth for android, PC and Mac ect. At least you could also then profit from the pile of defunct controllers still in shops around the country. And it would be the decent thing to do. Also you'll at least keep a few people happy who already have a controller. It's a decently made controller. I just wish it was Bluetooth with my PC.

Another vote for keeping the controllers alive by converting them to Bluetooth. I have 3 controllers and would be disappointed in Google for forcing these into the ewaste system. I would even go as far to say they can keep my money that I spent on the controllers, if they work as bluetooth. In all reality they should keep the controller in there electronics store to sell as a stand alone Bluetooth device.

There is no way to use a cable on a wall-mounted Andriod TV. Please enable Bluetooth to avoid extra e-waste.

..it's not e-waste, it is real waste.
I am living in the EU and I am pretty sure, that there is a law against that kind of thing.
If google will not make this device usable for us and an extended lifetime, we should simply return it, demanding proper recycling and point the EU commision towards this.
Google will have to pay a multitude of money, just to handle the returns properly...fixing it will be much cheaper.
The new buzzword is ESG-reporting and sustainability act.

You are dead wrong! Google is unequivocally NOT better than that.
Google is a company that is beyond incompetent, and beyond just blindly greedy and shortsighted. Stupidity is built into every structure the company is built on. the fact so many people are still coming to grips with this only now in 2022, despite the ample evidence does not bode well for our species

It's not going to happen without this being a widely popular and public demand.

Technically, this is no huge undergoing for the responsible developers. They could just release a free certificate to bypass the encryption for the communication with the controller and the community can develop applications themselves.

The Stadia controller communication isn't at all encrypted, or at least not in any meaningful way from what I could tell when investigating, but the controller contacts the servers directly in order to pair itself and will totally refuse to send any input data unless it has first been paired. With the servers shutting down that means the wireless connection is basically useless.

...Which is why we want the Bluetooth to be unlocked for input instead of the wifi connection. So it can be used as a normal Bluetooth controller that doesn't need to connect to nonexistent servers.

I'd love it if they did it, so I could extract more functionality out of my controller. But your snarky and childish attitude all over this thread almost makes me wish they didn't now. Grow up and behave like an adult, not everything you want gets given to you.

Cry harder. If me being snarky about a **bleep**ty company that continues to **bleep** it's users over time and time again offends you, then good, you deserve to have your delicate sensibilities offended. In the meantime make your own thread for apologists. That **bleep** is unwanted here.

Right now, the Stadia Controller will become useless wirelessly on January 19. For a lot of people, that basically makes it e-waste. The least you can do is open-source the firmware.
