Compatible controller

sirog201 — Fri, 06 Aug 2021 13:30:07 GMT

I only dabble on Stadia and play FIFA (not very well) on my Chromecast with Google TV. I can not justify paying the price of the Stadia controller. Can anyone recommend a decent compatible one with a budget of £20 or under. There are so many on Amazon I don't know which to go for. Thank you for any guidence

Hi @sirog201

Before you go purchase a controller, double check it with this controller compatibility list to make sure it will work properly. I would hate to see if you got a controller and then realized it wasn't working properly.

Compatible controllers

To use Stadia on Chromecast Ultra, you need a Stadia Controller. On Google TV or Android TV, you can use a Stadia Controller or a compatible Bluetooth controller. If you don't have a controller, you can play on your computer with a mouse and keyboard, or on a compatible mobile device with the touch gamepad.

You can pair a DualShock®4 Controller or Xbox One® Controller to your device using Bluetooth. Check how devices connect to Stadia in the following table:

Gamepad type	Google TV or Android TV	On TV with Chromecast Ultra	On Google Chrome (version 77 or greater)	Supported phones with Android 10.0 or greater	iPhones and iPads
Stadia Controller	USB & Wi-Fi connectivity	Wi-Fi connectivity	USB & Wi-Fi connectivity	USB & Wi-Fi connectivity	Wi-Fi connectivity
Keyboard and mouse	Currently unavailable	Currently unavailable	USB & Bluetooth connectivity	Currently unavailable	Currently unavailable
PlayStation® DualShock 4 Controller	USB & Bluetooth connectivity	Currently unavailable	USB & Bluetooth connectivity	USB & Bluetooth connectivity	Bluetooth connectivity
Xbox One Controller	USB & Bluetooth connectivity	Currently unavailable	USB & Bluetooth connectivity	USB & Bluetooth connectivity	Bluetooth connectivity
Xbox One Elite Controller	USB connectivity	Currently unavailable	USB connectivity	USB connectivity	Currently unavailable
Xbox® Adaptive Controller	USB & Bluetooth connectivity	Currently unavailable	USB & Bluetooth connectivity	USB & Bluetooth connectivity	Bluetooth connectivity
Xbox 360® Controller	USB connectivity	Currently unavailable	USB connectivity	USB connectivity	Currently unavailable
Switch Pro Controller	Currently unavailable	Currently unavailable	USB & Bluetooth connectivity	Currently unavailable	Currently unavailable

If you plug a controller into your Android 11 device with a USB-C® cable, or connect using Bluetooth, and the controller isn't recognized, try disabling all accessibility services in your device's settings. If you still can't connect, use Wi-Fi to link a Stadia Controller to your device or use the touch gamepad.

Hi,

Did you have the chance to buy one?

I have the same need, I don't want to buy expensive controllers (like those in the table of MrVacca).

I wish some cheap bluetooth controllers would work if the Android TV device correctly recognise them.

Hi Sirog, which one did you buy? Does it work with Android TVs?

Thanks
