Is this Xbox 360 controller compatable with Mac?

I have come across to some places that say hat Xbox 360 gamepad is comatable with Mac after I get a Driver for it.
http://www.play.com/Games/Xbox360/4-/3437330/Official-Xbox-360-Wireless-Controll er-Black/Product.html
This is the controller that I want, and want to Double Make sure that this is compatable. And if so, where can I get the Mac Driver?
Or is there any Mac compatabe Controllers That are more Like PS2/PS3 contollers as I prefre this type of controller.
I am not to bothered but would be happier if I had a PS2/PS3 type controller.
Any Recommendations would be Highly apreciated.

XBOX 360 Not Compatable With Other Internets through WRT54G

Well, I've been playing XBOX live on my 360 for a couple of months now. When I try to "party up" with a few of my friends from school though, it says that our internets aren't compatable. I called microsoft not knowing anything about what is going on and they just gave me some letters and numbers. One of them was UDP 3074 and the other one was PCP 3074. One, what do these things mean? Two, why am I having this problem? And three, how can I fix it?

Xbox 360 controller (wired) and compatability with Windows 7

Ok, here's the scoop. I have an Xbox 360 controller and a plug 'n play kit for it. I have tried the normal solutions for hooking it up and getting it to recognize in Windows 7 (32 bit) Home Prem. Edition, and all I get is it is an 'Unspecified' device in the Control Panel, and as a result, it will not be recognized in games as a controller, and will not work. I have installed the proper drivers and the 360 Accessories for Windows, but even that doesn't recognize the controller when it is plugged into my USB 2.0 port. The driver is properly installed (Windows told me the driver was installed correctly when I first plugged in my controller, after installing the program from the Microsoft website), so I have no idea why it is not working. I have followed all the stepd that I can find. Please give me some assistance.

If you already have the software installed, go to programs and features and uninstall Microsoft XBOX 360 Accessories 1.2.
1) Download the drivers from http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/download/download.aspx?category=gaming
2) Choose Gaming > Xbox 360 Controller for Windows > Windows 7 64 bit > English.
Don’t run the drivers. Save them to a folder.
(Or Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows depending on your controller)
3) Right click the Xbox360_64Eng file in the folder you downloaded to and click "create shortcut"
4) Right click the shortcut you created. Select properties.
5) On the compatibility tab in properties, click "Run this program in compatibility mode"
Choose Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 1 as the compatibility mode. Apply setting and click ok.
6) Right Click on the shortcut and select "Run as administrator"
7) With your controller plugged in go to Device Manager.
You should see Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class. It located under Mice and other pointing if you do, you have arrived. If you don't, try this.
Continue only if you don’t see Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class in Device Manager
8) Right click the unknown device that shows a problem.
9) Update Driver Software > Browse My computer for Driver Software > Let Me Pick from a List of Drivers
10) Choose Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class > XBOX 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows
Ignore the warning.
Should work now.
Please help :( It's still not working! Your suggestions helped almost everything. I don't think there was the Microsoft Common Controller for Windows class/Xbox 360 Wireless Controller via Play and Charge Kit in Device Manager before I tried
your tips of reinstalling under that old service pack compatibility mode.
Now that I see that, I thought it'd be fixed... but no! If I run joy.cpl (the Game Controllers window) it still doesn't see my Xbox controller. It still isn't recognized by the actual 360 controller software for my PC.
I did try updating the drivers again in the device manager, and I am plugged into a Blue USB port. What else? Is it something to do with my battery pack or something? Help!!
I don't know if this will notify me of a response, so please feel free to email me at smorin1487 @ gmail

How to install xbox 360 controller on mac mavericks?

how to install wired xbox 360 controller on mac mavericks?
i installed this driver
http://files.tattiebogle.net/360/360ControllerInstall.dmg
but is not working

@mtnbkr81,
So you are trying to use the wireless controller? All that I have read points to more reliability for the wired when using it on a computer. Perhaps you should save money for a wired one?
I also forgot to mention the installation procedures on the .11 version. My controller does get recognized but as a genereric controller. Not specific to xbox360. But you can try this:
-Uninstall the pref pant and the couple of other files that have been written to your MAC. Use the search on "controller"
-once deleted run the .11 version of tthe driver. MAKE SURE THE CONTROLLER IS NOT IN THE USB PORT.
-after the installation is complete open up preferences adn you should see an xbox360 option
-open it and then plug in the controller
-it should then get recognized. You may need to play with some of the options.

I am trying to get my Xbox 360 controller to work on my Mac.

I am trying to get my Xbox 360 controller to work on my Mac. I have installed the suggested driver and the program ControllerMate. The Mac sees the controller because it shows up and responds. The program ControllerMate also sees the controller and responds appropriately, but the game (Minecraft) doesn't. HAs anyone else cracked this nut or have advice?

Try using the resetting SMC procedure
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
You may have done something similar already, but do it precisely as described. You should disconnect ALL peripheral devices, except for Apple keyboard and mouse.
Also, when you plug it back in, if the iMac is currently plugged into an old (or overcrowded) power strip (surge suppressor), try connecting it directly to a wall outlet by itself.

[solved] Getting xbox 360 controller to work in Skyrim with xboxdrv

I am trying to get my xbox 360 controller to work in Skyrim. I installed xboxdrv from AUR and I can get it running with no problems. I have xinput installed in the prefix via winetricks. I've blacklisted xpad kernel module and have xboxdrv running as a systemd service. Xbox controller support is turned on in the game's options.
The issue I'm having is that the controller will still only operate with certain games, which are the games that can use it with the regular xpad kernel module.
Here's some details about the set-up:
√ systemd service:
[Unit]
Description = xboxdrv
[Service]
User = root
Type = simple
ExecStart = /usr/bin/xboxdrv -D -c /etc/conf.d/xboxdrv
[Install]
WantedBy = multi-user.target
√ xboxdrv config:
[xboxdrv]
silent = true
mimic-xpad = true
#force-feedback = true
chatpad = true
led = 2
[xboxdrv-daemon]
detach = true
dbus = disabled
√ xinput winetrick is installed:
Anyone see anything wrong with my setup?

Using a Xbox 360 controller with Qosmio G30

Hi,
I'm trying to use the xbox 360 controller with pro evo soccer 2010 on my laptop.
At first it was flashing, but then it stopped.
The drivers and everything have installed correctly, is there any other way???
In device manager, there are no exclamation marks, it seems fine.
But the game wont play, unless I use the keyboard.

Hello
Maybe the controller is faulty.
Have you tested it on your Xbox 360 and does it work?
Can you also test another controller?

Trouble Connecting a Wireless Xbox 360 Controller to Windows 8.1 via the Play & Charge Kit

I've been trying to connect a standard black wireless Xbox 360 controller to my PC, a Dell Inspiron 17R Special Edition (what makes it special is a mystery to me, but that's the name) with the standard Play & Charge Kit.
I downloaded the drivers from Microsoft's website <http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/d/xbox-360-wireless-controller-for-windows>. Since there was no version for Windows 8.1, I downloaded the version for windows 7 (64-bit) and ran the installer
in compatibility mode. The installer ran just fine, and I was able to run joy.cpl with no trouble. The trouble was, my controller doesn't show up in the list of game controllers, which is blank.
Under Devices and Printers, an item named "Xbox 360 Wireless Controller via Play and Charge Kit" appears in the "Unspecified" category. When I look at the properties of this device, there are only two tabs, "General" and "Hardware".
Under the "Hardware" tab, there is a device also named"Xbox 360 Wireless Controller via Play and Charge Kit" whose properties have all the proper drivers and suchlike.
Help!

Uninstall all the driver.
Download and install the latest driver,or,you may try the same to get via Windows Update.

Xbox 360 Controller not recognized by Macbook.

I just bought an xbox 360 controller to play games with it while programing it through a software. When I first plug it in, the Mac recognizes the controller. If I unplug it and then plug it in again, the 360 controller lights will flash, but it won;t recognize it. If I restart my computer, plug it in, its fine again. Now, if I plug it in, it works, un plug it, but plug it into a different usb port, it will work again. Once I've used one port, it won't work with it and will have to restart my Mac. Any help would be great, Thanks!

I installed this driver:
http://tattiebogle.net/index.php/ProjectRoot/Xbox360Controller/OsxDriver
And now my MBP reliably recognizes the controller (evident by it showing me what commands it is receiving in the preference pane created by this driver), but I've found that getting an individual game to behave nicely with the controller is a whole other ball of wax...good luck.

Xbox 360 Controller and Call of Duty 4

I bought the Xbox 360 controller with the receiver and installed the driver on the Mac. The driver recognizes it wonderfully in System Preferences. Now, is there any way to use this device to play Call Of Duty 4? (for Mac... naturally).
Has anyone been able to do so?

I'm trying to find the same answer myself. Any luck? I called tech support and they said the game doesn't support it, but to look for a keyboard emulator program. You can view a thread I started here http://gamermodzforum.freeforums.org/viewtopic.php?p=10412#10412 regarding this same issue.

Wired xbox 360 controller used for PC

I have tried literally everything I can think of, I searched it, and a resounding solution were these steps:
1) Download the drivers from "Can't post links yet"
2) Choose Gaming > Xbox 360 Controller for Windows > Windows 7 64 bit > English.Don't run the drivers. Save them to a folder. (Or Xbox 360 Wireless Controller for Windows depending on your controller)
3) Right click the Xbox360_64Eng file in the folder you downloaded to and click "create shortcut"
4) Right click the shortcut you created. Select properties.
5) On the compatibility tab in properties, click "Run this program in compatibility mode" ChooseWindows Server 2008 Service Pack 1 as the compatibility mode. Apply setting and click ok.
6) Right Click on the shortcut and select "Run as administrator"
7) With your controller plugged in go to Device Manager. You should see Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class. It located under Mice and other pointing if you do, you have arrived. If you don't, try this.
Continue only if you don't see Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class in Device Manager
8) Right click the unknown device that shows a problem.
9) Update Driver Software > Browse My computer for Driver Software > Let Me Pick from a List of Drivers
10) Choose Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class > XBOX 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows
I have tried the steps in order countless times. tried many different compatability modes, and to no avail am I able to get the "Microsoft Common Controller for Windows Class" to show up. so I continue through the next 3 steps (8-10) and
the option listed in step 10 is not available. and I have been trying to fix this since 7:00 AM this morning.....

XBox 360 controller doesn't work in game in Outlast

I got Outlast, that new horror game, and a Wolf Among Us. I installed Tattleboogie's drivers and using an wired xbox 360 controller (original). In Wolf Among Us it works fine, in the Tattleboogie's settings everything shows as working with responce on every button, but in Outlast, even though the controller is identified and shows up in settings and in the menus as if it were working, it simply doesn't. I get no responce from presses at all.
Also, I've tried Game Companion and Joystick Mapper, but those just doesn't work. I can get some movement, but it's irregular and doesn't correspond properly. So I do NOT want to use that kind of software, and shouldn't need to since Outlast should have full controller support and obviously recognize it.
So anyone know anything about this?
I'm running on a Macbook Pro 13" with Mavericks installed.

Xbox 360 controller works in mate desktop but not DWM?

Hello,
I just switched to DWM from mate desktop. I use my xbox 360 controller with steam home streaming. Worked perfectly under mate but it doesnt work at all in DWM.
The xbox controller light is on in dwm and I can confirm it still works under mate. I tried installing xf86-input-joystick but no joy. (didnt need this under mate)
Anyone know what makes this work in mate desktop or how to make it work in dwm?
Many Thanks.
