What is ControlStadia?
ControlStadia is a Chrome extension that enhances your gaming experience on Stadia by enabling the customizable mapping of input devices to a 'standard' virtual gamepad. It can map up to four physical gamepads into one, and users can scale and offset axis for increased sensitivity. The extension works for both normal gaming applications and out-of-the-box ideas. It comes with features such as an automatic joystick finder and allows for individual setting of each button and axis.

Extension summary

With ControlStadia, you can:

  • Map up to four physical gamepads to a single "standard" virtual gamepad which works with Stadia.

  • Scale and offset axis to increase or decrease sensitivity, change axis ranges.

  • Do normal things like playing GRID with a steering wheel and pedals!

pretty strange, it won't open anything and it does not work, but it might have good performance once it gets fixed so 3 stars I guess.

I couldn't get the SteelSeries Stratus Duo to work with this extension. It recognizes it as a Xbox 360 controller.

i just discovered this yesterday, very very very useful for Elder Scroll Online... I would ask to the developer t create a second button line. I mean, right now we can choose 1 key for 2 buttons. which is amazing and can just create combos. but can U creat a secondary button line, to have 2 keys for 1 button. bcz some combos dont allow to use obly 1 button, and it would be a help if i could choose one free button for that particular option. do u know what i mean?
