    Ah, yeah. I don’t even think MacOS supports the dongle, Microsoft has that pretty locked down. All modern wireless controllers should support Bluetooth connection so you could use that instead, a simple usb bluetooth dongle is pretty cheap. Just make sure to plug the dongle into a USB 2.0 port, bluetooth dongles will work considerably worse in USB 3.0+ ports. And if you’re rocking a 360 controller or older (where bluetooth isn’t a guarentee) I don’t think xone is the driver you want to be using, instead use xpad-noone.

      It used to work under different distros tho. And the xone package is specifically designed for the dongle so I’m pretty sure it should work but just doesn’t. For now Bluetooth might work but I’d be missing out on some features.
