The Xbox 360 Controller for Windows can be quickly and easily installed on any PC that has an available USB port and is running Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later. Green flashing lights on the controller and on the receiver indicate that the device is trying to establish a connection. The Xbox 360 controller comes in both wired and wireless. Unlike most of you, I didn't grow up with diablo and unreal tournament so I could care less if the keyboard and mouse are 'better.' I just want to replicate the 360 experience on my mac since I don't have an xbox 360. At any rate, the game is still new for the mac so I would think 360 controller support will come officially sooner than later.
In Windows it works out of the box, but if you install this software the Xbox 360 will display a battery indicator on the screen.
In Ubuntu, the Xbox 360 controller works flawlessly with xpad. (I've tried this successfully with a wireless controller)
In Mac, I've found a driver here, but I haven't tried it because I don't own a Mac myself.
Drivers Xbox One Controller Mac
Connect the Xbox 360 Controller to your Mac. Now you’ve installed the driver, the next step is to connect the controller, which is simple and only needs to be done once. Firstly, you need to plug the USB receiver into a free USB port on your Mac. Once plugged in, the USB receiver’s light should start blinking.
On my Mac, I've always used the software package you linked to. It works just fine. :) – Brant10 фев. 112011-02-10 20:05:32

Battery indicator? I'm talking about the wired USB version! Still, it's nice to know it will work out-of-the-box on Windows. – Denilson Sá Maia11 фев. 112011-02-11 07:41:44
Can someone confirm if wired controllers also work with 'xpad' driver on Linux? I ask it because I looked at the source code and I couldn't find any mention of the wired version of Microsoft 360 controller, only the wireless. http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v2.6.37/drivers/input/joystick/xpad.c#L113 – Denilson Sá Maia11 фев. 112011-02-11 07:53:13
@Denilson the website I linked to mentions that it should work '(Ubuntu now includes the xpad kernel module with support for the Xbox™ controller and Xbox 360™ (wired/wireless) controller)' – bruno07711 фев. 112011-02-11 12:25:35
Alright, I missed it! The 'wired' version is defined at line 160 of that source-code file. The vendor/product ids are: 0x045e, 0x028e. – Denilson Sá Maia12 фев. 112011-02-12 03:43:02
