Unboxing A Google Stadia Controller On The Day Before The Service Shuts Down....But Why???

We all know (or should know about Googles ill-fated Stadia project and that this service officially ends on the 18/01/2023. But, why should you look to purchasing the controller when the service connected to it ceases in a day?

Well, this past Saturday, the Google Stadia Controller received approval from the Bluetooth Special Interest Group to be used as a wireless controller! That's right, you will be able to use this controller on your pc, android and iPhone devices (amongst others)

This will mean HoGP BLE Profile support (which is a quick way of saying HID over GATT Profile) this means Google’s Stadia controller will connect via Bluetooth Low Energy to transmit button presses to another device. Good eh?

And equally as important, the controller will be Bluetooth 5.0 compliant. Nice!

Take a look at the link below for more information

Someone or some people at Google have really created the 'gold standard' of how to close off a system in style and many never thought the Stadia controller would ever see life again however, it now sems as if Stadia (or the controller at least) will go on to live a different life and enjoy its retirement :)

Thanks for watching
