I tried to connect my xbox controller to my MacBook, even though the controller is registered in bluetooth setting, but it doesn't function at all.Have anyone met the same problem and if there's a fix for this problem

We appreciate your feedback in the Developer Forums. We believe this issue is already resolved in macOS 12.3.1. If you are still seeing this issue, please submit a feedback report to ensure the issue can be investigated by the relevant engineering teams. You can do so from the Feedback Assistant app or Feedback Assistant website.

I'm not entirely sure why this happens, it happens intermittently for me. The last attempt I took was Delete the controller, Turn off Bluetooth, Restart, Reconnect Controller- but while I was reconnecting there was a phantom controller that popped up that showed the original controller connected, but I could not disconnect it through the Mac, I turned the controller off and the phantom controller popped back down to the unknown devices and upon entering bluetooth mode on my ps4 controller the phantom controller was identified as a ps4 controller and I was able to connect and use the controller again to play games. I hope this helps!

I still have a weird issue, but like I said on my iPhone, my Xbox controller will connect, and then make the Virtual Controller disappear indicating that the Controller is connected (at least). But nothing functions from the Xbox controller. Then turn off controller and Virtual Controller comes back on... (the controller is there in the debug info, Mac too if I am not mistaken).

Also experiencing the same issue. My Nimbus + Controller won't work with Apple Arcade after updating to Monterey 12.3. I'm able to connect via bluetooth, but none of the buttons work. I'm sure there are a lot of Mac Gamers with the same issue and hopefully Apple fixes this soon.

Looks like two games I tested have broken controller support. Both of them are Unity games using the InControl framework. I tried three controllers with each: An Xbox Series X controller, a DualShock 4 controller, and a Stadia Pro controller connected via USB, which appears as a generic controller with vaguely Xinput like features.

Just adding my experience to the list in the hopes this gets addressed. I have tried three different bluetooth controllers (XBOX One, PS5 DualSense, Nintendo Switch Pro Controller) and the issue is the same across all 3. Bluetooth has no problem connecting the controllers to my M1 MacBook Pro, pressing the Home buttons on each controller brings up a game selection bar, and I can use the controller to select games. However, regardless of which game I select, once I am in-game, no controller input works except the Home button to bring the game selection menu back up. No issues prior to the Monterey 12.3 Update.

I tried to livestream the log through console. I am not a pro in IT but hope it helps. There are two findings. #1 When plugged in via USB cable and press the pairing button on my controller, console shows that the USB port read the signal and immediately disconnect shortly afterwards. #2 When pairing via bluetooth, message "configuring controller, will try again later" will nonstop pop up until Bluetooth stop trying to pair up with the controller.

I'm having same problem, noticed the ps4 controller is working fine with it but ps5 controller is not. The symbol/icon when i connect my ps5 controller vs my ps4 controller via bluetooth is different.The ps4 controller shows an ps4 controller icon and allows me to connect normally.The ps5 controller shows a normal bluetooth symbol (same as my iphone).When connected a monitor will show a monitor icon next to it, a mouse will have a mouse icon, a speaker shows a speaker etc... Somehow need to change how the mac bluetooth recognizes the controller.

Just adding that I'm having the same issue. I've tried Xbox One, PS4, and a generic controller that I used to use frequently and none have worked. I've tried all of them corded and Bluetooth with no luck. The game I've been trying to get it to work with is Final Fantasy XIV by Square Enix. I've been seeing advertisements for another new OS update, any word if we'll receive a fix before or even with the new update?
