- How do I pair my controller using Bluetooth?
- After switching your controller into Bluetooth mode, press and hold the "Y + Stadia" buttons for 2 seconds to enter pairing mode. The status light will flash orange.
- Then, go to the device you want to play on and pair your controller in the settings. Once paired and connected, the status light on the controller will turn solid white.

Someone's salty because they didn't get their free 4k Chromecast and crappy controller?
For non steam games, it may or may not work. Even if it does work the button mapping can be wrong. So one needs a third party program to get it working for non steam games.
I have both a PS4 controller and Xbox Controller to compare it to, and crappy is not what I would call the Stadia controller. I'm not saying that it's the best controller that exists, but it exceeded my expectations and it was better than I thought it would be.

I haven't done the update yet, because I know it wont work on my current desktop machine, because my bluetooth dongle is old and you need a newer bluetooth spec for this to work. It needs the Bluetooth low power mode I believe.
