      Thanks. Never used a Stadia though. My old DS4 controller was seeing some stick drift and I didn’t have a ton of cash at the time to replace it and saw someone selling a Stadia controller for $5 since the service was shutting down. They didn’t realize it could be unlocked for bluetooth use on PC. It’s a nice controller though.

        I really liked the form factor on them. My partner and I were heavy stadia users during the pandemic.

        I ended up grabbing quite a few as people sold them off after the shutdown. Really can’t be beat for $5-10.

          Yeah someone had it for $10 + free shipping on eBay and I noticed oddly enough they were about 8 miles from me so I just messaged them if they’d take $5 and I’d come pick it up so no fees or hassle with shipping.

        Nice I manged to get a midnight blue variant for £17 myself. After some twiggling around with third party drivers the stadia controller works like a dream

        I honestly miss stadia the service. I thought for what it was it was quite good it was like having a xbox series s in my pocket or on my low end macmintbook air 2012

      Thanks! I had on some cheapo GMK knockoffs from AliExpress while trying to find a keycap that I wanted. Keycaps are a pain to find since so many of them are group buys or super expensive especially if you need a number pad and want accent colors. GMK’s base sets are like $125 but their base doesn’t include a numpad so you need to add that for another $40 and then accent keys are another $30. I will say that the AliExpress are decent but they weren’t uniform keys and they definitely don’t feel as good or quality as the NovelKeys.

    Honestly I didn’t know Stadia controllers were ever actually sold, actually I didn’t know Stadia ever launched until it shut down

      I got one with a Chromecast 4K - when Stadia was announced to shut down, Google refunded the whole bundle. Both are still in use and were basically free
