You are a gaming platform now, Google. Don't forget them gamers are a very impatient bunch and they want their communication on time and on point!
Intel's Core i5 and i7 should be fast enough for 1080p60. 
If the CPU is fast enough you can decode VP9 in software, too.  Hardware VP9 support is the better solution, though. 
Try running Stadia in a guest session. Make sure hardware acceleration is enabled in the settings. 
@Excog sorry my snarky reply was meant to address the original poster of this thread.
Another thing you might want to consider: rumors are there are countries and even people outside of the USA with, like, non-**bleep** InterNet. I know, must be hard to fathom. 
It should be fast enough, yes, but it shouldn't run @ 70% CPU when it's decoding VP9 in the GPU.
No they should be enabled.  Can you watch 1080p60 youtube videos in fullscreen without problems?
Do you have hardware acceleration enabled in the ChromeOS settings?

VP9 decoding in hardware needs an 8th+ gen Intel CPU and a supported OS.  Chrome on Linux unfortunately doesn't support GPU acceleration. I'd strongly advise against using that very old experimental Chromium build with VAAPI enabled ... it surely has hundreds of unpatched  vulnerabilities today.

I don't have a 4K monitor yet but I noticed Stadia is displaying the wrong connection speed (at least in Tomb Raider 2013) the last couple of days: I sometimes get "OK" instead of "Good" for several minutes but the resolution definitely still is 1080p and I see no artifacting or anything else unusual. The downstream speed stays stable at 3.5 mb/sec when this happens (which is 1080p60 speed). 
There are no magic fixes for old technology. Stadia will eventually move from VP9 to the AV1 codec which needs even more processing power to decode.  The solution is to buy new hardware. 
Question to those with 4K streaming problems: can you still watch 4K60 YouTube videos, e.g. https://youtu.be/LXb3EKWsInQ

You need an Intel 8th gen CPU for the hardware VP9 decoder.
A 2010 CPU is very likely not powerful enough to decode a 1080p60 VP9 stream in software.
Properly detecting HID-compliant controllers is the job of the OS. Maybe your question would be better suited for an Apple OSX forum?

Set your desktop resolution to 1920x1080 + find the option in your monitor's menu that disables upscaling to its native 2k resolution. This means you'll play with a much smaller window of course. There's not really anything else you can do until Stadia supports more resolutions.
Your Chromebook has an old and way too slow CPU to decode a 1080p60 VP9 stream in software.  Maybe the lower 720p60 setting will work, though. 
Just keep using FF for everything else and run only Stadia in a Chrome window when needed.
