 Once the controller is switched to Bluetooth mode, it cannot be switched back to Wi-Fi mode for use with Stadia (not that this matters anyway as Stadia is discontinued).

 The controller comes with a 2.4 GHz or Bluetooth receiver, which makes the controller appear as though it were a wired USB controller to the host machine, but the T3S model still works via any ordinary Bluetooth receiver.

 The X-Arcade Tankstick is supported on Batocera when you enable ''controllers.xarcade.enabled=1'' in the ''/userdata/system/batocera.conf'' file. It is done through the ''arcade2jstick'' module, which means that each of the two sticks is seen as an independent joystick by EmulationStation and the emulators. The trackball is recognized as a USB mouse in emulators that support mouse.

 A third-party Wii U style Pro controller. Works fine with all the D-input compatible emulators, but may have issues with Wine (which expects an X-input controller, can be worked around by using a pad2key profile for some games).

-There are adapters (sometimes called adaptoids) that can be used to convert original controllers over to USB, which should work in most cases. These are usually console specific but sometimes feature multiple ports; the latter of which is always a third-party solution where quality may be questionable.
