Xbox controller not working on MacOS

Hey all,

Got a very weird issue.

Recently bought a new MacBook Pro and wanted to play Stadia through it with my Xbox pad, but the controller isn't working in games.

Stadia recognises it as connected, but the button layout is basically thinking its still a mouse. the triggers are almost movement and RB is like menu. Can't turn my character in any game or the gun fire is constant etc. 

Anyone else experienced this and know a fix?

The Xbox controller is not recognized by the system, I had the same problem, you need to install a third party open source software then connect your controller via usb

Xbox one controllers are supported with this plugin

This doesn't seem to be a Stadia issue, but a Mac issue. Did you ever solve it, I have the same thing. Mac thinks LB is right-click.

My Xbox One Controller works fine on Stadia on MacOS. Not really helpful I know, but no issues here. Perhaps try an Xbox One controller instead.
