Xbox One Controller Mac Download: Step-by-Step Instructions for Bluetooth and USB



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


  • Fortunately, the process used to pair the two devices via Bluetooth is really simple. Here's how:Turn on your Xbox One controller by holding the Xbox button until it lights up.Next, hold the pairing button until the Xbox button flashes.Now, click the Apple icon on your Mac. Then, click System Preferences.Click the Bluetooth option.Click Connect next to your Xbox controller.Now, your Xbox One Controller is connected to your Mac. Although the process is incredibly simple, you can run into some complicated problems.

Although it isn't as simple as the method above, you can still connect your non-Bluetooth controller to most Macs. Xbox One Controllers aren't natively compatible with Mac in way of a USB connection. For this section, we'll need a little help from some third-party software. But don't worry, we tested this software in August of 2021 and it's still working fine.Here's how:Head over to GitHub and install 360Controller.Move through the prompts as they appear to complete the installation process.Now, you need to let 360Controller have access to your Mac. Open System Preferences and click on Security & Privacy.To allow access, click the Lock icon in the lower left, input your Mac password and click Allow.Upon completion, restart your Mac. Then, go back to System Preferences and click on the 360Controller icon. Plug your Xbox controller into your Mac's USB port and you should be good to go.Similar to most games you'll play on an Xbox, 360Controller gives you options to switch controls, invert options, and more.

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 have created a USB driver which allows you to use wired XBox 360 Controllers via USB, and wireless XBox 360 Controllers via the Microsoft Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows, on your OSX machine, including support for the Apple Force Feedback library. The driver is licenced under the GPL.Snow LeopardI've released a version which will hopefully install and work fine on 32-bit Snow Leopard. It also contains 64-bit binaries, however I've been unable to test them because Apple have disabled my MacBook from booting into 64-bit mode. I have however been informed that 64-bit and 32-bit builds are both working.ChatPadI have got the Microsoft ChatPad working with my wired controller. The latest release of the driver includes support, and I'll be updating the USB information section of this website shortly. I've not yet checked the wireless receiver for compatibility.Other infoSadly, my PowerMac has died, which as my primary development machine has slowed progress.I have added a version of the driver without support for the Guitar Hero controller, to allow the Guitar Hero for Mac game to work (it attempts to access hardware directly, which doesn't work if a real driver has claimed the device).HelpIf you find the driver does not work for you, please attempt and find out as much as you can about the device, preferably using the Apple "USB Prober" application provided with the developer tools, but the output of System Profiler for the device may be enough. E-mail it back and I'll try and work with you to get it working.Force feedback-enabled gamesGames I've currently tested for force feedback support (only games that support basic rumble will probably function currently, as I've only implemented triangle, square and sine wave-type effects. I also lack any other force feedback device for comparison :) ):Jammin' Racer - seems to work fine


This driver also supports all devices that work with the Xbox series of hardware, such as wheels, sticks, and the Xbox One Elite controller, plus various licensed third party controllers from brands such as Hori, MadCatz, and Logitech.


In macOS 10.11, Apple changed some of the underlying USB code, which can cause problems for Microsoft-licensed controllers. You should be able to resolve this problem, by downgrading to macOS 10.10 or earlier.
