This is the most straight-forward option, but you'll need to keep an eye on the project's respository if you ever want to update to a newer and thus less buggy version.ĭownload and install this driver package here.

I'm only going to explain the easiest option unless you reply that you know how to clone git repositories, build the cloned project in Xcode, and disable Yosemite's kext signing requirement/enable kext development mode (assuming you're doing all of this on Yosemite). Each of the options have specific pros and cons. You have three options, but they're all complicated and, if performed incorrectly, could potentially screw up your computer (software-wise, not physically, which is why a backup is a great idea).

The reason I'm telling you all of this is because in order to use the Xbone controller with Aspyr games you have to install a customized version of the 360 drivers that tricks Aspyr games into thinking that the Xbone controller is one the game supports. Normally, you have to install a third-party driver to use the 360 controller on OS X, and for a while that driver conflicted with Aspyr's driver, but I haven't had any issue lately so I don't know if one of them fixed that. Those drivers support only the wired Xbox 360 and PS3 controllers, and do not support the Xbox One controller (though it's possible they will add support at some point in the future). If you decide to follow my instructions, having a recent Time Machine backup will be a life-saving mulligan if something goes wrong however, I'm far too lazy to also give you instructions to restore from the backup in that case, so you'll have to look into that yourself.Īll that said, if you're a competent user, this shouldn't be too difficult for you.Īspyr-ported games like Borderlands 2 use drivers made by Aspyr and loaded within the game itself. The third question is self-explanatory, and you should be doing this anyways. If you said yes to the second question (or can just go buy a used one), there's no reason to use the Xbone controller and it would be more trouble than it's worth. If you don't know the answer to the first question, or you don't feel totally confident in your abilities, please do not attempt the instructions I provide.

Do you, or can you, properly back up your computer using Time Machine before installing the software necessary to make an Xbone controller work?.

Do you have an Xbox 360 controller (preferably wired) you can use instead?.

So basically, I need you to answer these questions: Using an Xbox One controller on OS X for games published by Aspyr requires some fancy footwork, so before helping you, I'd like to know that you or someone you know (that can do it for you) is confident enough in their Mac skills that they won't completely fudge up installing very early versions of unofficial third-party drivers. You'll need to plug the controller into the PC using a micro USB cable, though. It's a piece of cake on PC, as all you need to do is follow the instructions Microsoft has provided here.
