Since the Mac does not natively support an Xbox One Controller, we'll need to download some drivers to get this working. To download the latest working drivers. Version 0.08 of the Xbox 360 Controller driver for Mac includes 64-bit support (untested), a fix for Snow Leopard and other minor bug fixes, the changelog reveals.

So, I went through with this, though, since I already had two spares of the xbox plug part but no controllers for them I simply stripped down one and added the USB like so. However, the controller I'm connecting is an old Acteck joystick, now that I'm done, the acteck software doesn't recognize the controller, but Windows 10 still detects it as an 'XBOX gamepad' however, it tells me there was a problem installing the driver. I then go to install the one you provide with the same results. The printer and hardware section recognizes it only as a 'generic usb hub'.

Did I messed up, or is this a software issue? Well the problem is the driver doesn't install because 'Win10 needs to have signed INF files. And because Inf can't be signed directly - it needs to have '.cat' file that contains digital signature.' -Press Start -Click on Power -Hold down Shift and press Restart -Navigate to Troubleshoot -> Advanced options -> Startup Settings and press Restart -Wait for Windows to restart and when prompted press 7 for Disable driver signature enforcement and wait for Windows to come up -Install XBCD and allow it to install the driver If it's still not working Device Manager-> Unknown device-> update driver-> search my machine -> C: Program Files (x86) XBCD Driver. So yeah at first I wasn't planning to do the 2 part to link back at the Xbox via USB. But I had the same problem as you (seemingly not working, generic usb hub) so I was wondering if that was a hardware or software problem, as it's my first time doing this.

After reading this guide I did the second part (xbox connector to female usb) and tested the modified controller on the xbox: seemed to work well, so I think the link is all ok, so I guess it's a software problem. XBCD driver is a bit of a pain it seems.

This release requires macOS 10.11 or later. It looks like the hang on boot that some users were experiencing was caused by the Xbox One controller Bluetooth support hooks that had been added to the driver. In order to resolve those issues, all Bluetooth support has been removed from the driver. Simply put, if you are using the controller via Bluetooth, the driver won't do anything for you. Please do not install older versions of the driver in order to get the force feedback over Bluetooth support and then post an issue about your computer hanging on boot. In addition, a variety of new devices have been added and some minor touch ups were made to Xbox One racing wheel support. Currently, we still do not support the Xbox Adaptive controller, but we are actively exploring support for it.

Make sure to allow access to the developer in System Preferences > Security & Privacy. This release requires macOS 10.11 or later. The guide button on Xbox One S-era (Bluetooth-capable) controllers now works properly as a button, instead of a permanent switch! Also, Force feedback is back!
