I need to know your vendor and product ID in order to assist you. The instructions to find this information can be found here: https://github.com/360Controller/360Controller#how-do-i-find-my-vendor-id-and-product-id

Here's the info you requested Drew.

Thanks,

I need you to open up your terminal and run sudo kextload /Library/Extensions/360Controller.kext and tell me what it says.

If it says /Library/Extensions/360Controller.kext failed to load - (libkern/kext) system policy prevents loading; check the system/kernel logs for errors or try kextutil(8). Then you'll need to allow the driver in the Security & Privacy section of your System Preferences.

Otherwise, this issue will be closed down, because we do not support counterfeit controllers.

What's a counterfeit controller?

[Drewbadour]

Counterfeit controllers are devices that use the product and vendor IDs of the official Xbox 360 controller in order to try and spoof hardware into recognizing them as official controllers. They are either cheap imitations of the original controller, or unlicensed Chinese hacks. Either way, they violate the USB spec, and therefore cannot be individually supported by the driver.

This issue is being closed due to inactivity.
