Well, I’m a Steam user, so the first thing I’d like to test are some of my favorite games like the “Half-Life 2” series – yes, I know it’s OLD, but I just love the Half-Life games and Half-Life 3 is still not available (I honestly doubt it will ever see the day of light, but I’m still hoping) …

Step 4 – Playing Source (Valve) games on your Mac MacOS X – Xbox 360 Controller Preferences This is the main GitHub page of this project.Download the latest version from this GitHub page (360 Controller Releases).UPDATE: There is a 360 Controller driver that is being actively maintained, a fork of the original project, you can get it from GitHub as well: For this, seemingly abandoned driver, you’d need some tricks to get it to work under Yosemite – which is related to new “rules” concerning the use of Kext’s (Kernel Extensions). And there is such a think in this case.Ĭolin Munro, at TattieBogle, released a driver as early as 2006, which appears not to have been updated since 2012. So we require a driver created by another party. Unfortunately, Microsoft, doesn’t feel the need to supply drivers for Mac users for their hardware, which is unfortunate and leaves the user with the mess to solve by themselves. You can even assign keyboard combinations to it.MacOS X does not natively come with drivers for the XBox 360 controller, which makes sense, it’s not their responsibility to provide hardware drivers for 3rd party hardware manufacturers, especially when they choose to swerve away from standards …

Only then will you be able to use your remote with this application and assign any type of action to its buttons, crosshairs and analog sticks. Yes you have to know that it is essential to allow it from System Preferences> Accessibility that it can control the operating system.

To use Controlly you just have to download the application when you start it. And this is very useful and practical for all types of users, even those who have some kind of mobility-related disability. Thus, thanks to this utility, Microsoft and Sony controls, both those of previous generations and the recent Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 can be used without any problem. Thus, with the analog sticks you can move the course around the desktop and with the buttons perform other actions that will be completely customizable by the user.

Controlly is an application available on the App Store that has been developed to meet precisely that need to be able to control Apple’s desktop operating system with a game controller.
