Description Cameron Gutman 2020-04-26 02:28:03 UTC 
Xbox One S Bluetooth controllers are getting picked up by the regular IOKit joystick support on macOS rather than HIDAPI. The HIDAPI driver is required to enable force feedback and correct the button mapping on the 4.8 controller firmware.

The Xbox One HIDAPI driver was disabled on macOS because at the time the Xbox 360 driver handled all Xbox One controllers. Since then, Xbox One support in HIDAPI has been significantly refactored (https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/2c4ec356333e) and the Xbox One HIDAPI driver is now required on macOS for Bluetooth Xbox One S controller support.

Bumping for review.

This has been shipping in Moonlight for a bit over a month. No problems reported.
