Controller not working in macOS 12.3

Im having this issue as well. I deleted the controller from the bluetooth devices list. Re synced it and the problem still persists.

Hi Wisky_pro. Which apps or games are you trying to use your Xbox controller in? Would you happen to know what kind of Xbox controller you have?

Can attest to this issue, a DualSense Controller paired over bluetooth does nothing after updating to macOS 12.3. Tested with multiple Apple Arcade games (e.g. Tetris Beat that supports controllers that used to work perfectly before 12.3) and multiple other non-Apple Arcade games all of which supported controllers before 12.3.

Thanks the_lucifer. I saw your feedback report.

Xcode 13.3 Yes sir. I have a Steel Series on my macOS 12.3 and an Xbox Controller on my iPhone 15.4. With the iPhone 15.4 the Virtual Controller Comes up, and works, then when connecting the Xbox the VC goes away and the Xbox Controller works. With my MBP 16 M1Pro macOS 12.3, the observation methods get registered, but NEVER get called... I cannot trigger the "didConnects" Whether turning on before launch after launch etc Been looking for some NEW PLIST entry can't find anything...glad I am not the only, cause now I can go to something else...thanks ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I have a same issue. Is there any solution?

I am experiencing the same issue after I updated my MacBook pro to 12.3 two days ago. Tried numerous troubleshooting attempts. I have the normal white wireless Xbox controller I bought from GameStop.

Does anyone have a fix for this?

I have same issue....

How to slove this problem? I have same issue.

Restarting the computer can fix the problem, if once doesn't work, then twice.

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).

Xbox One controller via USB worked before macOS 12.3.

Now, doesn't get detected at all.

Same problems here. My controller is working in some games, but not everywhere:

• macOS: 12.3 (21E230)
• Xbox Wireless Controller:
• Manufacture ID: 0x045E
• Product ID: 0x02FD
• Firmware: 9.0.3
• Additional type: Gamepad

Working in apps:

• Steam
• Pac-Man Party
• The Pathless

NOT working in apps:

• Sonic racing
• Asphalt 8+
• Agent Intercept

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.
