With the code below we will mimic the behavior seen with вЂњHalf-Life 2: Episode 2вЂќ so we can use exec 360controller and exec undo360controller. Creating such a configuration file is easy, simply use a text editor like TextWrangler to create a plain text file with theВ (example) content below. Tip: First try exec 360controllerВ in the developer console before proceeding with these steps вЂ“ it might already work!ДЇor these two, we will need to define a configuration file (which can also be used with the other games to customize the controls). To disable the controller, type: exec undo360controller Half-Life 2 andВ Half-Life 2: Episode One To enable the controller, type in the developers console (~): exec 360controller These Valve games come with XBox 360 controller support build in. Half-Life 2: Episode 2, Portal, Team Fortress 2, and Left 4 Dead Once enabled (your game will remember next time you start the game), use the вЂњ ~вЂќ key (tilde) during game play, or in the main screen, to get to the console.

Check the option вЂњ Enable developer console (~)вЂќ and click вЂњ ApplyвЂњ.

UPDATE: There is a 360 Controller driver that is being actively maintained, a fork of the original project, you can get it from GitHub as well: For this, seemingly abandoned driver, youвЂ™d need some tricks to get it to work under Yosemite вЂ“ which is related to new вЂњrulesвЂќ concerning the use of KextвЂ™s (Kernel Extensions). And there is such a think in this case.Д¬olin Munro, at TattieBogle,В released a driver as early as 2006, which appears not to have been updated since 2012. So we require a driver created by another party.

Unfortunately, Microsoft, doesnвЂ™t feel the need to supply drivers for Mac users for their hardware, which is unfortunate and leaves the user with the mess to solve by themselves. (If it does not explicitly say 'Mac compatible', please check compatibility.MacOS X does not natively come with drivers for the XBox 360 controller, which makes sense, itвЂ™s not their responsibility to provide hardware drivers for 3rd party hardware manufacturers, especially when they choose to swerve away from standards вЂ¦
