Click to expand.I don't think it needs all this kickstarter work from scratch, some modifications to the tattiebogle driver would get you pretty much all the major support required as the protocol on the 360 pad and the XBONE are the same, adding rumble trigger support etc might be some extra work but this is not impossible or required. I totally don't have the spare time to work on adding the support in myself but someone who has a USB XBONE and some programming experience should be able to get it working without it being too much time and effort.
To put it simply, your best options boil down to the Logitech F series, a Dual Shock 3, a Wii remote or the Xbox 360 wireless controller. Only the Logitech pad is supported natively in OS X. The other devices will require their own third-party drivers that are not officially supported in OS X. The Xbox 360 controller in particular requires TattieBogle. In geneal, you can try to use Joystick Mapper or Game Companion (the latter is in the Mac App Store) to get the aforementioned controllers to work in OS X. Be cautioned however that even if you get a controller to be recognized by OS X, the greater hurdle will be the kind of support offered by the developer of a given game. For example, Star Wars the Force Unleashed only supports the Xbox 360 controller, even though it is not a natively supported controller in OS X.
Aug 02, 2010 I've seen a few people ask if it's possible to use an Xbox 360 controller with Steam for Mac. As of right now, the answer is yes and no. After doing a lot of guessing and messing around with some settings, here's how you can make it work sort of.
Even worse, only the wireless Xbox 360 controller is supported. Your best bet is to evaluate your entire library of games and select the controller most commonly supported. Sadly, the controller situation in OS X is less about your preference of form factor and more about finding out what works with the most games. Best of luck. To put it simply, your best options boil down to the Logitech F series, a Dual Shock 3, a Wii remote or the Xbox 360 wireless controller.
