This project packages an Xbox One controller driver for Mac OS X built on topof the IOKit framework. It is a true kernel mode driver, meaning that programsbuilt with the user-facing IOKit API will recognize the controller (but alsomeaning that the driver needs wired memory for its code, and that a failurewill bring down the whole operating system).

It is based on the documentation found on kylelemons's xbox and bkase'sxbox-one-fake-driver repositories, though it shares no common code.

The Xbox One controller is not HID-compliant, and this is the reason thatgeneric drivers aren't sufficient. However, it's not too far from a compliantdevice. The three main differences are that:

Tried a ton of different things for about the past 4 hours, but finally found a driver that worked for me (btw, i kept getting a 404 error when trying to access the legacy driver linked above, not sure if wacom actually just took it down, or because it's a US site and I'm trying to access it from Japan). Wacom ctf 420 driver for mac.

I have same problem too.The controller works other games but in fifa 16 and 17 left trigger always pressed. In menu it doesnt react when i pressed it too, and in game it looks as through left trigger kept pressed all the time too. Step 1: Plug in the controller. The initial driver installation is very likely to fail, so be prepared to exit the window. If it works the first time, then the driver was already on the system. Step 2: Open Device Manager and select the Xbox One Controller. This is typically located under Xbox Peripherals (Legacy).

• the device needs to be 'turned on' by the computer (which is done by sendingit 05 20);
• the device sends more than just HID reports on the interrupt pipe;
• the device does not expose a report descriptor.

This driver attempts to bridge these three shortcomings.

Status

In my book, this driver is ready for production. This means that it is usefulfor actual gaming and that people are unlikely to have problems with it.

The driver only works when the controller is connected with a USB cable to theMac. I believe that the controller does not use Bluetooth, which makes itunlikely to ever work unless Microsoft releases some USB dongle.

Technicalities

The driver exposes the controller as a HID gamepad whose name is 'Controller'(that's Microsoft's controller guys' fault, not mine, though it wouldn't be veryhard to change). This gamepad has 16 buttons and six axes:

• Button 1: Sync
• Button 2: ?
• Button 3: Menu ('start')
• Button 4: View ('select')
• Button 5: A
• Button 6: B
• Button 7: X
• Button 8: Y
• Button 9: D-Up
• Button 10: D-Down
• Button 11: D-Left
• Button 12: D-Right
• Button 13: Left Bumper
• Button 14: Right Bumper
• Button 15: Left Thumb Stick Press
• Button 16: Right Thumb Stick Press
• Axes X, Y: Left Thumb Stick
• Axes Rx, Ry: Right Thumb Stick
• Axis Z: Left Trigger
• Axis Rz: Right Trigger

You'll notice that the triggers are considered axes. This is because the XboxOne controller has analog triggers with values varying between 0 and 1023.These are not buttons (in the sense that buttons can only be either on or off).

The driver does not expose rumble motors. From badgio's XboxOneControllerproject, it appears that the magic byte sequence to send to the controller is:

where .w and .x are values for the left and right triggers, and .y and.z are values for the left and right handles, respectively. So on thecontroller's side, force feedback is fairly simple. The problem is that from theonly example implementation of force feedback I could find, it appears thatthe work required on the software side is non-trivial. Not to mention thatI know of just one application that takes advantage of it.
