I bought a new XBOX one controller just to use with my MacBook for Stadia (I like leaving the Stadia controller in the living room with the Chromecast for convenience). I paired it to my MacBook, but it does nothing. Has anyone had any luck using an XBOX One controller with a MacBook? Am I missing something? To be clear, this isn't just a Stadia issue, I tried Mad Max on the MacBook and it doesn't recognize an attached controller, even though it is paired.
I have also tried to register the new "Microsoft Xbox One Wireless Controller" on the Mac. It is recognised by the Mac and found as a Bluetooth device. However, I cannot use it. No button responds, no analogue stick. The connection via USB cable does not work either.
Then I tried to register a PXN controller (licensed for iOS). Here is the same problem. Logged into the system on the Mac, but no function.
Which controller works on the Mac with Chrome?
I was starting to think it was just me. Everywhere else, you read “I paired my Xbox controller and it worked great!”
