Any tips on how to get ps3 controllers working via Bluetooth in lion? I've been tinkering with my new 2011 Mac mini all weekend with no luck. I've installed the USB driver and followed the instructions to pair the controllers with my mini to the letter but I get varying results. The controllers usually show up in the Bluetooth list, but won't ever allow input in MAME. Sometimes I'm asked for a pairing code and sometimes I'm not. Also, the controllers do work via USB in MAME.

SteelSeries' Nimbus MFi Controller is the First Apple TV Gamepad Wednesday September 9, 2015 6. Which I think is the Logitech shelled controller. Apple's site as well as this Mac Rumors article. To get the Mac to recognise you have to install the drivers (I installed both) shut down the Mac, plug in controller then switch Mac on. Both drivers can be found within the first few links of a 'Xbox one controller on MacBook' Google search. Microsoft word for mac.

I also tested the Bluetooth pairing method on my 2010 MacBook pro and a sixaxis and dualshock controller paired without any issues and worked great in MAME (which is why I assumed this was yet another Lion support issue). Any help you can provide on this would be much appreciated! Any tips on how to get ps3 controllers working via Bluetooth in lion?

******** First thing to do is make sure you have the following items and software ready before you begin. 10.6 or better (10.5 is NOT supported) No PS3 Gamepad driver software installed (UNINSTALL ALL DRIVERS THEY BREAK THE SUPPORT) PS3 Gamepad USB charging cable for PS3 gamepad Bluetooth enabled on your Mac Once you are ready please download and watch the video below it will take you thorugh all the steps you need to take to connect your PS3 Gamepad to your Macintosh computer.

I did try the instructions in the video, but I get a bluetooth popup saying I need to enter a code to pair the controller. I tried entering 0000 and I get a message saying that the pairing failed, most likely due to an incorrect passcode. I installed the PS3 Controller driver from this website: There's no uninstall package available however so I don't know how to go about removing that driver. Again, I totally understand nobody on this forum officially supports removing that driver, I'm just hoping someone knows enough about this process to help me out of the woods. I guess reinstalling Lion is always an option, but I'd rather not go through that process just to get the PS3 controller working if I can avoid it.
