Connect the Xbox 360 controller to the Mac
Even if the packaging says "For Windows only", the XBox-360 controller can be connected to the Mac. We explain how it works!
Connect the XBox gamepad to the Mac - Here's how.
In order to be able to use the controller as under Windows, an experimental driver that is not from Apple is necessary. You can download this driver from the site of Colin Munro, a Scottish developer.
- On the page you will find the links for the program under "Downloads". Click on "Driver" here.
- After downloading, run "2360ControllerInstall.dmg" on your Mac and click through the installation. 64bit is also supported experimentally.
- Now you can use the controller for games that officially support the controller. In some cases it is possible that you need a special config so that the key assignment is correct. This varies from game to game.
