I have been looking for this for quite a while. Thanks for that tutorial.

Glad I could help!

[@DivitTech]

@@Babblingboolean Do you know of any limitations? I have 2015 Mac book pro on Monterey 12.6.2 and it’s not detecting my Xbox one controller for some reason.

[@Babblingboolean]

Not that I'm aware of, unless there's some sort of hardware Bluetooth compatibility issue. You'll have to research.

[@BlueKender]

your controller can switch between devices if you press the pair button (on the controller) twice.

[@DontFuckWitDreDay]

Thanks, this also worked on Mojave!!! I just installed the N64 emulator for the mac :)

Hey man my controller when I first paired it worked fine but now it says it’s connected but the Bluetooth icon doesn’t show it and games don’t register it at all. Any thoughts??

[@tnazzplayz5833]

Same the problem is that there is a way to fix it but what caused it was A update to all Macs and PC on social media there was A post about Xbox series controllers and PS5 controllers replacing the Xbox one and PS4 controllers

[@jacobcancino7849]

I had the same problem. Just remove your xbox controller from devices in bluetooth, then reconnect it again as if it were the first time connecting it. I think the problem is somewhere with auto connecting. Don't think auto connect works very well yet

[@chrisjones2353]

@@jacobcancino7849 it does that with Lenovo too.. I used a cord for my elite controller

[@karenzhang1020]

What games in the app store are compatible with the Xbox controller?
