FranticRain released this
This release requires macOS 10.11 or later.
This is an early release of a modern rewrite for this driver. It updates the driver to the modern standard and re-implements wireless controller support. If you find any regression in the driver, make sure to make an issue and specifically mention that you are using this version of the driver.
Alpha 3 adds wireless controller support and should fix issues on macOS versions 10.11, 10.12, and 10.13
The move to 1.0.0 is an attempt to move this driver to proper semantic versioning in conjunction with the modern update. It does not imply any level of completeness.

Xbox Controller Driver Mac
This release requires macOS 10.14 or later.
PLEASE DO NOT INSTALL ON ANY VERSION OF MACOS EARLIER THAN 10.14
This is an early release of a modern rewrite for this driver. It should exactly match the functionality of the existing driver. So wireless controllers are still not supported at this time, but your wired controllers should work exactly as intended. If you find any regression in the driver, make sure to make an issue and specifically mention that you are using this version of the driver.
Alpha 2 should fix the issue with Xbox 360 controllers not working.
The move to 1.0.0 is an attempt to move this driver to proper semantic versioning in conjunction with the modern update. It does not imply any level of completeness.

There are a couple new devices added in this release, along with some some safety features so that old versions of the driver don't come back to haunt you. Primarily, this release is for new devices and some fixed version stuff.

This release requires macOS 10.11 or later.
It looks like the hang on boot that some users were experiencing was caused by the Xbox One controller Bluetooth support hooks that had been added to the driver. In order to resolve those issues, all Bluetooth support has been removed from the driver. Simply put, if you are using the controller via Bluetooth, the driver won't do anything for you. Please do not install older versions of the driver in order to get the force feedback over Bluetooth support and then post an issue about your computer hanging on boot.
In addition, a variety of new devices have been added and some minor touch ups were made to Xbox One racing wheel support. Currently, we still do not support the Xbox Adaptive controller, but we are actively exploring support for it.

Xbox 360 Controller Driver Mac Steam Github Update
FranticRain released this
This release requires macOS 10.11 or later.
The guide button on Xbox One S-era (Bluetooth-capable) controllers now works properly as a button, instead of a permanent switch! Also, Force feedback is back! Rumble on. Speaking of which, rumble options for Xbox One controllers have been fixed, so you can rumble the triggers only, or the triggers and the main motors in unison if you want! Whatever floats your boat. And good news, all of the settings changes you make in the preference pane will now actually be saved. Settings bugs have been vanquished and now you won't have to check 'Pretend to be an Xbox 360 Controller' every time you reboot your computer. There are some other under the hood fixes that will probably go un-noticed, but the main Readme and the text during installation have gotten a little spring cleaning, so keep an eagle eye out for that.

After we reported on Steam’s new Big Picture beta coming to the Mac, we got a reader question that I figured it’d be good to write a tip on.
Playing games on your Mac is great fun of course, and all of them use the keyboard and/or mouse to control the games being played. However, with AirPlay mirroring, HDMI cable support, and a bunch of new games showing up for the Mac platform along their Windows brethren, there are times when a console style controller is a better alternative. Being able to sit on the couch and play our favorite Mac games has a lot to recommend it, and using an Xbox controller is fairly easy to set up.

Here’s how.
Xbox 360 Controller Driver Windows 7
First of all, you’ll need an Xbox controller, wired or wireless with the Microsoft wireless adapter. I used a wired controller, but you should be able to get a wireless controller (with the wireless receiver you can get on Amazon for about $20) to work just as well.
Secondly, head over to TattieBogle, and download the driver for OS X there. This driver will let your Mac talk to the Xbox 360 controller, and vice versa. Once downloaded, mount the disk image with a double click on the .dmg file and then double click on the .pkg file that’s on it. Follow the prompts, just like any other OS X installer, to install the driver software. You won’t need to restart.
Now, plug in the Xbox 360 wired controller. The green lights around the middle Xbox button will light up, but then will go dark. Unlike when connected to an actual Xbox 360, the controller will not light up when connected to your Mac. Now, pull up System Preferences, either from the Apple Menu or from within your Applications folder. There should be an Xbox 360 Controllers preference icon in the lower right, now. Click on that, and you’ll see a control panel like the screenshot above. Pressing the buttons will darken them on the control panel, so you can see that the controller is working.

Now, launch Steam, or other controller-enabled game, on your Mac, and get to gaming! You can send your Mac screen to your Apple TV or use an HDMI cable to get it up on your HDTV. I recommend the cable, as Airplay can have a little bit of lag between a button press and the effect, depending on your router’s wi-fi signal.
