Drivers For Xbox Controller On Mac
Given the popularity of the Xbox One and Mac laptops, it is no surprise that there are several ways to use an Xbox One controller with your Mac. Whether you decide to use Bluetooth, cables, or third-party apps, you can easily setup your Xbox controller to work with your Mac in no time.
I'm pretty partial to the Xbox One controller, and I thought to my self: "Self, wouldn't you like to play your Mac games with the Xbox one controller??" So, I decided to look into how to do this, and it's actually very simple to do. You can get this done in less than 5 minutes.
Once the computer has rebooted, you can open up System Preferences and you will see an Icon at the bottom that says Xbox360 Controllers. Once again, don't be alarmed by the name. Click on Xbox360 Controllers, at this point you can connect the controller to you mac with the micro usb cable (make sure that your controller is POWERED OFF prior to connecting). Your controller will power on by itself and be recognized by the drivers.
Hey there. This is not working for me. I'm using a USB to USBC adapter. I plug in the xbox one controller to the USB part. Not detecting the controller at all in the system preferences. Any updates to the driver? I'm on MacOS Sierra version 10.12.6. Thanks
This is an early release of a modern rewrite for this driver. It updates the driver to the modern standard and re-implements wireless controller support. If you find any regression in the driver, make sure to make an issue and specifically mention that you are using this version of the driver.
This is an early release of a modern rewrite for this driver. It should exactly match the functionality of the existing driver. So wireless controllers are still not supported at this time, but your wired controllers should work exactly as intended. If you find any regression in the driver, make sure to make an issue and specifically mention that you are using this version of the driver.

It looks like the hang on boot that some users were experiencing was caused by the Xbox One controller Bluetooth support hooks that had been added to the driver. In order to resolve those issues, all Bluetooth support has been removed from the driver. Simply put, if you are using the controller via Bluetooth, the driver won't do anything for you. Please do not install older versions of the driver in order to get the force feedback over Bluetooth support and then post an issue about your computer hanging on boot. 2ff7e9595c
