Could you build this?
Partial Mapping HID controller inputs to virtual XInput devices requires integrating low-level Windows driver frameworks like ViGEmBus.
What it would actually take: Uses C++ or C# to read raw HID reports from the Stadia controller via USB/Bluetooth (using WinUSB or HidLibrary) and feeds transformed stick/button states into the ViGEmBus virtual Xbox 360 controller kernel driver. Managing driver installations, HID feature reports, and low-latency input polling requires systems and driver integration knowledge.
