In a few days time On November 19th, 2019, Google will launch their new Stadia game streaming service capable of streaming AAA video games up to 4K resolution at 60 frames per second with support for high-dynamic-range. Ahead of its launch a Google Stadia Controller manual has been leaked providing a glimpse at what we can expect from the controller which is part of the Google Stadia package.
As you would expect most of the Stadia Controller’s buttons offer traditional features and functions as you would expect from any game controller from the likes of the PlayStation or Xbox console and features two analog sticks, bumpers, and triggers, D-Pad and 4 x Action buttons. One unique feature of the Google Stadia controller is that the triggers can detect how far they have been pressed offering users pressure sensitivity to add further in game mechanics and control.
