#Mac game controller review Bluetooth#

I would like to add one piece of information to this post. The main decision points are if you prefer one controller over the other, and if wireless, if you hate the wireless controller receiver for the XBOX360. They both work fine wired, they both work fine in big picture mode. The XBOX 360 controller can be used wirelessly with OSX, but you need a wireless controller receiver (it does not pair via bluetooth).

From what I have been able to figure out is that the PS3 controller can pair with OSX via bluetooth and works fine. Originally posted by runvus4:I was looking into the same thing. Unless you don't mind the fact that they are not plug and play and may not work at all for a new game, then you should not get on XBOX ONE or Dualshock 4 controller today to use with a Mac. Hades got rave reviews when it was launched towards the end of 2020, and we were pleasantly surprised to find that a Mac version of the game is now available on both Steam and the Epic Game Store. The touchpad does not work under the generic controller.

The controller mapping is not plug and play as a generic controller - you may have to make mappings of each button for any given game (or download custom plist files for any given game). The PowerA Spectra Infinity gamepad feels just like a standard Xbox controller, but it trades wireless connectivity for a three-zone RGB light show and programmable rear buttons. The Dualshock 4 controller can pair via bluetooth and is seen as generic wireless game controller.

There are drivers for the XBOX ONE controller floating around, but they are under active development (read possibly not 100% reliable).
