minus-squarefraydabson@weloveautomation.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·11 months agoA lot of people still have a few that we converted to bluetooth so this is great news!
minus-squareLastYearsPumpkin@feddit.chlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up11·11 months agoIt’s the primary controller I use with my SteamDeck. I got it for free with a stadia promo, then Google unlocked the Bluetooth, and it works fine.
minus-squareono@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·11 months agoThey’re easy to find for $15-20 USD. What does it matter if they’re discontinued?
minus-squaretheshatterstone54@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up8·11 months agoGoogle pushed an update allowing them to be used as regular controllers
minus-squarevividspecter@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down1·11 months agoSo is the Steam Controller, but I’ll continue to use them until something better comes along.
minus-squarejayandp@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·11 months agoDirt cheap on eBay and will probably show up in thrift stores eventually. Making them usable by someone is better than them ending up in a landfill. Though I still wouldn’t buy one, but I’m biased since I have one already(got it for free from Google at some point 😝)
minus-squarenewIdentity@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·11 months agoHonestly the Stadia controller was great. I still have it and it’s my favorite. The Bluetooth implementation just isn’t that great since it was never intended to be used that way anyway
