Xbox 360 Controller Mac Platform Along

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.

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.

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 thats on it.

Xbox 360 Controller Install The Driver

Follow the prompts, just like any other OS X installer, to install the driver software.

The green lights around the middle Xbox button will light up, but then will go dark.

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 youll 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.

I recommend the cable, as Airplay can have a little bit of lag between a button press and the effect, depending on your routers wi-fi signal.
