While most expected this feature to be ready for release, Google finally has a wireless controller that will work on PC. The gamepad will be able to work without plugging a USB-C cable into a PC thanks to it using the built in wireless connectivity.

Google hasn’t released a new controller. The original Google Stadia controller has just been updated to finally make use of the built in wireless connection feature. This is now working for laptops and desktops, it just requires a Wi-Fi connection.
