Xbox controllers acting wierd

So I got a xbox series x controller a few month ago from a friend of mine who owned a xbox. I recently decided to use it because I really want to play games. So I connected this thing to my Macbook and I found it wierd as the icon of the connection is the generic bluetooth icon rather than the controller icon. Later I fired up F1 2017, and found the controller completely unusable, and the people in Feral sended a plist to me in order to use it. The first time I installed the plist it worked, but the second and the third time didn't work. So I am very curious about this thing.


Possible problem:

  1. Driver update, because our city is in lockdown I cant do this
  2. My macbook's problem. It is a 2020 M1 Macbook 13in
  3. MacOS, I am running on 12.3.1 stable.

Please help I really need to use my controller to game it is just too painful to not play games in Shanghai now.

Edit: Also, the controller does not automatically reconnect if i closed this thing. I need to delete it in Bluetooth and then reconnect it.


MacBook Pro (2020 and later)
