If you haven’t already, be sure to convert it to Bluetooth mode from WiFi before the end of December or you won’t be able to use it anymore…I only found this out after trying to set it up with my Retropie. The link to the google web tool to convert it is here!

I don’t have one but it really annoys me that so many stadia controllers are gonna be ewaste just becouse people didn’t know that they could be converted to Bluetooth mode, but only till the end of 2023

Hopefully someone will make something to do the conversion after the end of the year. I don’t know how difficult that is, but if there’s enough out there, someone might actually do it.

No worries! Strange of them to put a deadline…I agree the hardware is pretty solid!

Google is taking down the tool for switching the mode of the controller.
