Connect a Playstation 3 Controller to a Mac in MacOS Sierra, OS X El Capitan, Yosemite, & Mavericks. You need the Xbox Receiver and a driver for Mac OS X to use the Xbox 360 wireless controller with your Mac. Just the driver if you have a USB adapter for the Xbox controller. Yes you can use the PS3 controller in Mac Sierra. XBox 360 Controller Driver allows you to use wired XBox 360 Controllers via USB, and wireless XBox 360 Controllers via the Microsoft Wireless Gaming Receiver for Windows, on your OS X machine, including support for the Apple Force Feedback library. The driver is licenced under the GPL.
Your Mac might not have the massive library of games available to Windows gamers, but you can still play them in style by connecting an Xbox One controller – and you don't need any extra hardware to do it.
If you've got a newer Xbox One S controller with Bluetooth, you can use the controller with your Mac without any additional hardware or software:
1. Hold down the pair button on the top of the controller:
2. Go to the Apple menu and click System Preferences, then click Bluetooth:
3. Click 'Pair' on the list item labelled Wireless Controller:
If the game doesn't allow you to remap controls, you're going to have to plug your controller in with a micro USB cable and follow the instructions below.
If you've got an older Xbox One controller, an Xbox Elite controller, or a wired Xbox 360 controller, you can use a piece of software called 360Controller to get up and running – though you'll need to be running OS X 10.9 or later, and have the controller plugged in via USB.
