Xbox One Controller - Mac M1 - Not working

Hello!

I’m having issues getting UE4 and UE5 to recognize my Xbox 1 controller on Mac.

I’ve gone through basic troubleshooting: Restarted the applications, ensured the window was focused, and the controller worked with other applications. But UE won’t receive input from the controller when I’m trying to assign the buttons in the input editor (project settings) or while testing in the editor window to navigate

I’m using a 2021 M1 Macbook pro - has anyone else run into this issue/found any solutions?

Is it a bluetooth one? Funny thing is that although UE doesn’t officially support PS4 controllers, it automatically works on my project. I’ve heard that some controllers simply don’t work on Mac computers.

It’s so odd! lol It’s the regular run of the mill Xbox one controller, but yes it does connect via bluetooth. Just seemed weird, it works fine for everything else on my system, and used a wired xbox 360 controller on my old Windows setup - The xbox one controller + Mac’s are just a bad combo I guess. but it’s alright, I might try using my space mouse or something :man_shrugging:

Thanks for your reply! I have a PS4 controller around here somewhere too so I might try and give that a go too :slight_smile:
