Issue with xbox controller Mac M1

[RudyProme]

hello, my Xbox controller is not working on the app with Mac M1. My Xbox controller is working in Steam big picture, also in the link https://gamepad-tester.com/ from Chrome or Safari. But it doesn't recognize on the App (beta 2.0 and 1.2)

Which xbox controller are you using, xbox 360, xbox one original (wireless receiver or usb), xbox one bluetooth, or xbox series?

Make sure Steam isn't running in case it is capturing the inputs.

I have personally used an xbox series controller over bluetooth on an M1 Mac with no issues.

[RudyProme]

Hi, I confirm Steam is not running. I tried with Dualsense and Xbox Series Elite 2 controllers, both over Bluetooth

Can you check in the system settings -> security & privacy -> privacy tab -> input monitoring and check if the app is added there? If not, try to add it and restart the application and check if it works then.

[RudyProme]

Yes the app is already added there as it asked when you first start the app

hi, mac m1 user here, i don't have any issue with it, maybe try to connect the controller after the start of the stream?

[kaputt2k]

running into the same issue here. M2 Macbook air, xbox wireless controller via bluetooth.

It worked like acharm for a month, but suddenly stopped working. The Gamepad still works is i use xcloud via any other browser, but is not detected in greenlight. no clue how to fix this.

[RudyProme]

Still with the issue. Same thing as kaputt2k

I have the same problem. I'm using an Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 on macOS Ventura 13.0. MacBook Pro M1 Max. I have tried connecting with both bluetooth and USB.

[unknownskl]

The new v2.0.0-beta2 has some fixes which didnt display the controllers properly on the settings tab. Can you check if the problem still persists with the new version?

[RudyProme]

Hi, I just tested it again with the new beta version and I still got the problem. I tried with Dualsense controller (bluetooth and USB) and with Xbox Series Elite 2 controller.

[unknownskl]

Did you try to input any buttons? Due to how electron works under the hood, the gamepad will only be shown when it received at least 1 button press from the gamepad. My Xbox Series Elite 2 works fine over here, including the original Xbox One controllers.

[RudyProme]

ok my bad. When I try to input any buttons no gamepad appears but when I start the remote play, the gamepad is working fine in the app (just tried with Dualsense)

[unknownskl]

Gotcha. Is that on 2.0.0-beta1 or 2.0.0-beta2?

[RudyProme]

this is on the beta2

I don't have issues with my Xbox Wireless Controller (standard, series X|S) but I do have issues with my Elite Series 2 (it doesn't work)

I can, however, use the Elite Series 2 controller with the Xbox app on a Windows 11 VM (Parallels) when it is connected via USB (not Bluetooth)

Machine: Macbook Pro M1 OS: Ventura 16.0.1

Same problem with 8bitdo Ultimate bluetooth controller Input monitoring enabled for Greenlight Controller is not listed in detected controllers in Greenlight. Works fine in "Game Controller Tester" in the App Store.

Greenlight beta2 MacBook Air M1 OS: Ventura 13.0 (22A380)

I did some further testing and found that the controller works on https://gamepad-tester.com in Safari but not Chrome, Firefox or Edge so I suspect the issue is there.

[bradarl]

The controller works for me in Firefox but not the beta app.

Electron uses Chrome, does it work in Chrome?

[bradarl]

Confirmed, Xbox Elite 2 controller works wirelessly with Google Chrome.

I have found that joy-cons don't get detected in any browser but Safari, but still work fine in Greenlight for whatever reason, so it may not mean anything.

Same problem here.

Xbox elite V2 works properly in chrome and safari Input monitoring enabled for Greenlight Controller is not listed in detected controllers in Greenlight Beta 2, and doesn't work when trying to stream Mac book Air M2 MAC OS 13.0.1

[kingblah]

Issue still remains for me in Beta 12. Gamepad not detected. MacBook Pro M1 Pro Mac OS 14

[slapaglia]

Same issue Mac Studio M2 Ventura

[apirkle]

Same issue on a MBP M3 / Sonoma 14.2

Input Monitoring is enabled for Greenlight in System Preferences. Web test on gamepad-tester.com works. No response in Greenlight app.

Followed suggestion in #1002 to launch Greenlight from Terminal. Ran as normal user (not sudo) via /Applications/Greenlight.app/Contents/MacOS/Greenlight

This resulted in a prompt to enable Input Monitoring privs for Terminal. On restart of Terminal + relaunch of Greenlight from Terminal, the controller was detected and started working normally.
