I just downloaded Mojave 10.14.1 update on my laptop before finding your instructions. It took a while, but I finally got it working by downloading the 0.16.8 version, NOT the newest one. The newest versions do not work and either force restart my laptop or just doesn't connect. I hope this information will help others.

NEW UPDATE! Tim M who you can see in the comments below has figured out why his controller was not connecting it turns out that the driver may have been blocked. So his solution was to Open "System Preferences" Go to "Security & Privacy" Click the "General" tab Notice at the bottom of this dialog it says "Some system software was blocked from loading". Click the "Allow..." button and allow from author "Drew Mills", that's @FranticRain Credit goes to Tim M for figuring it out! :D

I have a Gamesir T1s and repeatedly tried to pair it with my imac running el capitan...it paired for about 3 seconds and then UN-paired. I can't get it to stay paired using Bluetooth. So I found a video on KZbin (in Spanish) of a guy using the Gamesir T1s and the exact same Xbox 360 driver that you used. He had to connect the Gamesir to the Mac using its charging cable, but he didn't show the controller could then use the Bluetooth or if it had to stay wired to the Mac all the time. I think I will try it and find out because I REALLY like the Gamesir and it works well with my android phone.

Guys, If your testing of the controller works, but it's still not working in games, try checking "Try pretending to be an XBox 360 controller" in the "Advanced" tab of the driver. I actually have a 360 controller, but it didn't work until I check that, for some reason, lol. XD. I had been trying to get this to work for hours, and I just wanted to share what I learned for anyone else in my situation!

Thanks for the tutorial mate :) I'm having a small issue that maybe you might be able to help me with? I'm running El Capitan on an older Mac Pro (just slightly too old for Sierra now) and using a wired 360 controller. Pre-El Capitan, my controller worked with no issues. Now, when I plug it in it seems to interfere with the keyboard and trackpad. For example, pressing the triggers will move the mouse around and then it gets stuck in the corner. In some directions the axis sticks seem to activate keyboard keys like W and D. In game this seems to interfere with the character movements as well. It's all very strange and I've looked all over for an answer. Any ideas or suggestions of what might be going on?
@LevelOneGamer
@LevelOneGamer 7 жыл бұрын
Hi lungcell, there is a few things you could try. I'm thinking with the update to El Capitan it maybe the driver. Which driver did you download? If you have the tattiebogle version, then you can download the newer version by frantic rain. The link is in the description above. Another thing i would try if your playing on steam, i would go to big picture mode and controller settings and turn on xbox support. For emulators i would go to controller settings and check if anything changed there. Let me know if this works mate :)
@lungcell
@lungcell 7 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the quick reply Simon! I think you're right, it's probably an issue with the drivers. I've tried both the older Tattibogle version (0.12 from 2013) and the newer version of 0.16.5 that you linked above. The older version doesn't work at all the and the newest version is where I'm having difficulties. The solution might somewhere in between then. I don't really game with Steam btw, mostly with emulators. So what I'll try to do is test all the other versions in between and see if I can hit upon a sweet spot in there. Should be a be a long afternoon, haha. I'll keep you posted if I find anything. Thanks again mate :)

System Information shows the adapter as a Vendor-Specific Device under USB: Product ID: 0x02a9 Vendor ID: 0x045e (Microsoft Corporation) Version: 6.0a Speed: Up to 12 Mb/sec Location ID: 0x14400000 / 7 Current Available (mA): 500 Extra Operating Current (mA): 0 When trying to connect the controller (pressing the little link button) it just flashes the entire ring continuously.

This is from the README: Wireless Xbox 360 Controllers As of macOS 10.11, Wireless Xbox 360 controller support causes kernel panics. This issue cannot be resolved with minor changes to the driver, and requires that the driver be re-written from scratch to resolve the issue. Due to an excess of caution, we have disabled Wireless Xbox 360 controller support as of 0.16.6. If you want to use a wireless controller, download 0.16.5 or earlier and disable the driver before the computer enters a "sleep" state in order to prevent kernel panics. Alternatively, you can revert to a macOS version before 10.11 to avoid this issue. My question: What does "disable the driver before the computer enters a 'sleep' state" mean and how do I do that?

If you are user past or future MAC OSX Versions, try downloading the different drivers as one might be the right fit for your Machine.

Hi Lauren, using the latest driver. plug in your adapter press the button so it flashes. turn on the controller and then hold down the sync button until your controller has the spinning light. I've just noticed that even with the spinning light it is working. I think a new update on the mac has made the controller not able to figure out if it is player 1, 2 or 3 so it keeps spinning. let me know how it goes :D

Yes, try it out on a game. Not sure what has caused the controller to do this but it is happening to mine too. I just played Borderlands 2 and it worked fine.

UPDATE: Hey Guys! when syncing the controller you may have noticed the controller light spinning. I think a mac update has caused the controller not to be able to figure out which player it is so it keeps spinning trying to figure it out. I've just tested mine and it has the spinning light now but is still fully functional and a new random feature is you can move the mouse cursor around with the right analogue stick haha. :D

Hey Tim, when the light is spining on your controller. It might actually be connected but for some reason cant decide which player it is. So try pressing the buttons in the driver and see if they respond.

@RFrappuccino
@RFrappuccino 3 жыл бұрын
You can't. The Xbox 360 Controller doesn't communicate with the Xbox using bluetooth, it uses a proprietary Wireless Connection that cannot be read by normal means and requires a special adapter to use the controller, thats why the adapter is there.

I swear this actually worked! At first when he said to install the driver, I was worried it would infect my computer, but it was completely fine! I am not a fake account. But one warning to people, never do anything like this again. Other people trick you into downloading viruses on your computer. I am very lucky I found a driver that was safe.
