Other platforms may not work with this controller, and unless you\u2019re using Steam, you may need to manually remap some of the controller\u2019s buttons. (By default, the Assistant and Capture buttons do nothing in Bluetooth mode, but they can be mapped.)<\/p>\n<p>I should also note that the Stadia controller uses Bluetooth Low Energy, which limits some of its functionality. You cannot use audio pass-through in Bluetooth mode, for example (although it still works in wired mode). Old computers may not support the Bluetooth Low Energy protocol\u2014in this case, your best option is to buy a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Plugable-Bluetooth-Adapter-Compatible-Raspberry\/dp\/B009ZIILLI\/?tag=lsmedia-13880-20\">Bluetooth USB adapter<\/a> or simply use the controller in wired mode.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-142981\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2023\/01\/1d18e7d0.png\" alt=\"A render of a Stadia controller.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/stadia.google.com\/controller\/\">Google<\/a><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>To enable Bluetooth mode on your Stadia controller, simply plug it into your computer and visit Google\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/stadia.google.com\/controller\/\">Stadia Controller Update page<\/a>\u00a0(using a Chromium browser, such as Chrome or Edge). Click the big button that says \u201cSwitch to Bluetooth Mode\u201d and follow Google\u2019s instructions. An update will install on your controller. If you own multiple controllers, you need to update them one at a time.<\/p>\n<p>Google suggests charging your controller for half an hour before updating. If the update doesn\u2019t work, try using a different USB cable\u2014a data transfer cable is required.<\/p>\n<p>Once Bluetooth mode is enabled on your controller, press and hold the \u201cY + Stadia\u201d buttons for two seconds. The status light will blink orange, indicating that you are now in pairing mode. This light turns a solid white once you pair your Staida controller with a computer, phone, tablet, or whatever.<\/p>\n<p>Note that you can use this controller in wired mode without any updates. But Google\u2019s self-service tool will disappear after December 31st, 2023. So, if you want to make your Stadia controller a little less useless, I suggest updating today.<\/p>\n<p><small>Source: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/community.stadia.com\/t5\/Stadia-General\/Stadia-Controller-How-to-Enable-Bluetooth\/m-p\/86195\/thread-id\/35077\">Google<\/a><\/small>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1137093656460433');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
