CONNECT XBOX CONTROLLER TO MAC BLUETOOTH PC
If I then connect it to my Windows PC via USB, and then back into the Mac via USB, it works like it should.
CONNECT XBOX CONTROLLER TO MAC BLUETOOTH DRIVER
I have noticed some weirdness, though.if I connect my XBO S controller via Bluetooth to confirm the controls are still messed up (as in the original post), and then connect it via USB instead, the controller is detected by the driver and appears in the system preferences “Xbox 360 Controllers” pane, but none of the controls respond. When connected via USB, the controls are as they should be. I created an Apple community post for this at Īlso, is there a way it works with the adapter or wired?ĪFAIK the only way to get an Xbox controller connected via USB to work, is via this driver, which has no effect with Bluetooth. Additionally, once the controller firmware has been updated, there is no going back (no downgrades)!

If your BT-connected XBO controller is working fine under macOS, do not update your controller firmware! This would need to be done from an actual XBOX console, or a PC - so if you’re not using your controllers with those, they won’t get updated. In my case, I’m able to reproduce the problem on two different MBP laptops, both running macOS Catalina 10.15.5, with two different XBO controllers, both with firmware version. The controller functionality (or lack thereof) can also be handily tested by using this web utility: (this site seems to work best in Chrome). The left/right triggers are supposed to only move the Z axis, whereas the right stick is supposed to only move the X and Y rotation. And if you move the right stick up and down, it moves on the X axis. Then, slowly squeeze the right trigger, and notice how the "right stick" is moving on the Y axis. One example: run Steam in Big Picture Mode (on your Mac), then go to Settings - Controller Settings - Xbox One Controller (under Detected Controllers) - Calibrate. Specifically, a subset of both the right trigger and right analog stick functions “overlap,” completely breaking functionality. When using an XBO controller connected via Bluetooth with a Mac computer, there is the potential for “mismatched controls,” seemingly dependent on the firmware version of the XBO controller. The goal of this post is to collaborate, and gather information about it. I can't think of what else to do.This issue is NOT specific to Shadow gaming however, it will potentially impact macOS Shadow users. However, the extension doesn't have proper control mapping for the joysticks so it's effectively unusable. I tried the Control Stadia Chrome Extension and with this extension, Stadia actually detects the controller.

(I know that it's only supposed to work for USB connected controllers but the 360Controller software wouldn't pick up the controller whether connected by cable or wireless).
CONNECT XBOX CONTROLLER TO MAC BLUETOOTH PATCH
I tried using the 360Controller patch that gets put forward as a solution by 70% of online articles but that didn't work. I tested it with apps like Controllers Lite and they all pick up the controller perfectly when connected by Bluetooth. Chrome Canary) and in incognito mode per Stadia support's suggestions, but that didn't work. I also tried the controller in other Chrome browsers (e.g. I updated the controller on a Windows computer with the Xbox Accessories app but that didn't help. On mac it's detected by when connected by Bluetooth (but not when connected by USB) and it works in Steam but doesn't get detected by Stadia. It gets detected by Stadia and works perfectly in Chrome on a Windows computer. I'm experiencing this exact issue using an official Microsoft Xbox one controller.
