Google has finally killed the Stadia Bluetooth tool - but this person rescued it

"Did you save your Google Stadia controller like I told you last month? It's still not too late. This week, Google has finally removed the tool that converts the now-useless controller into a decent Bluetooth gamepad. But there's another way. Christopher Klay, who previously developed the Stadia Enhanced browser extension, is one of many who saved a copy of the tool to a personal GitHub page. What's more, they're hosting a working copy of that Google website right here to make it even easier."

"I haven't tried Klay's mirror, as both of my gamepads are already converted, but here's my video on how easy the process is. It's worth doing now that the pads work relatively well with Steam! I maintain that while Google made a lot of mistakes, it's an amazing example of shutting down a service the right way."

Google removed the official web tool that converted discarded Stadia controllers into Bluetooth gamepads. A mirrored copy of that tool was saved to a personal GitHub page by Christopher Klay, who previously developed the Stadia Enhanced browser extension, and a working copy of the original Google site is being hosted there. Users who saved the converter earlier can still use the mirror to convert controllers, and Klay's hosted version simplifies the process. Converted controllers function reasonably well with Steam. Converting Stadia controllers remains a viable option despite the official tool's removal.
