The BEST method to enable xinput for Google Stadia Controller's Bluetooth mode (DirectInput to Xbox 360 controller) + Analog Triggers in Windows 10/11
I used to prefer https://github.com/RexSonic/StadiEm as I did not need to to use hid-hide, however it hasn’t been updated for Bluetooth yet.

Devices Compatible with Stadia Controller
https://github.com/RexSonic/StadiEm This software converts stadia to xinput, however this of course has not been made to work with stadia in Bluetooth mode yet. Hopefully it will one day. Currently wired only.

Stadia in Bluetooth mode doesn't support analog triggers
I am using the stadia controller wired and with this tool (https://github.com/RexSonic/StadiEm/releases) I am able to get analog triggers and rumble support with steam games; apparently via bluetooth the triggers are only digital, I hope there will be a way to make it a good wireless controller

Reminder: This is how you can activate the analog triggers of your Stadia controller via cable on windows
I'm pretty sure StadiEM does the trick. I've been using it quite a bit, though the games I was playing didn't require analog inputs on the triggers, so I am not 100% sure it is recognized by all games/platforms.
