Stadia Controller Bluetooth Mode Tool

A self-hosted mirror of Google's official Stadia Controller Bluetooth Mode switching tool. This web application allows you to permanently convert your Google Stadia Controller from Wi-Fi mode to Bluetooth mode, enabling wireless gameplay on a wide variety of devices after Stadia's shutdown.

• Switches your Stadia Controller to Bluetooth mode - A permanent, one-way conversion
• Downloads and installs firmware - Flashes the controller with Bluetooth-enabled firmware
• Verifies controller status - Check if your controller is already in Bluetooth or Wi-Fi mode
• Multi-language support - Available in 20+ languages

Switching to Bluetooth mode is permanent - You cannot revert to Wi-Fi mode after conversion Audio limitations - When using Bluetooth wirelessly, the 3.5mm and USB ports cannot be used for headphones. Wired USB connections still support headphone audio. Button remapping - The Google Assistant and Capture buttons do nothing by default in Bluetooth mode but can be remapped using Steaminput.

• Google Chrome 108 or newer (required for WebUSB support)
• Desktop computer (Windows, macOS, or Linux)
• USB data cable (the cable that came with your controller works)
• Stadia Controller charged for at least 30 minutes
