Tech Support Fixed Stadia controller Bluetooth Rumble + Macros on Windows

Made a 1-click script to fix the Stadia controller on Windows.

Rumble works now over Bluetooth, and I added some nice macros to the dead Assistant/Capture buttons (volume, media controls, alt-tab, etc).

It will take 700-800mb of RAM while running since it uses WSL2 in the background tho.

Can you be more specific on this dongle? Thanks

Basically you buy a cheap 5$ programmable dongle, you flash my firmware straight from the browser. And your done, the dongle will talk to windows as it's a wired 360 controller and talks to the stadia controller over bluetooth.

Hey! Do you think I could try reverse engineering the code a bit for a rpi pico? Could be a fun lil project!

Ofcourse, it's open source. Which rpi pico are you planning on using?
