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. Started it back up and logged in, then plugged the controller in, and it's still working.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 … I unplugged the controller and shut the machine down. The controller and re inserted it, still good. If you go to Devices and Printers, the controller shows up as an AfterGlow Gamepad for XBox 360. As the machine booted up, the driver was installed and all was good. Leaving the controller connected to the USB port, I rebooted the machine. Trying to go through the Manual Driver update is fruitless and just hangs device manager.

Device manager advised that there was NO driver for the After Glow Controller. I installed the driver pack and connected the controller. I downloaded the XBox 360 driver pack for Windows 7 (Yes, I am quite aware I have Windows 8.1) : However, low and behold I managed to get it working. Ok, so after reading this post I was a little unhappy as I have one of these controllers and I have Windows 8.1.
