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