Has anyone tried the stadia controller via Bluetooth on PC? (lemmy.ml)

I use a dual shock 4 via Bluetooth on my PC (Windows) and I'm tired about the workarounds required to have it working all the time. Sometimes it needs steam open, sometimes instead having steam open will confuse the game, and so on. And by default the light is off when connected so I never know if it's o, off, low battery. I have a limited amount of time to play and I don't want to waste 1/4 of it troubleshooting the controller.

I saw an e-waste recycler selling brand new stadia controllers for $15. Some of them in a nice mint green tint that I never seen before. Once flashed with the new Bluetooth mode firmware are they good to play on PC (Windows)? Or I should just use Xbox controllers if I want something that "just works"?

I use a Hori Switch pad ($20) and its amazing, works on everything steam and anything off steam. Works flawlessly on PC
