Upgrade your Mac gaming experience! 🏎️💨

In this video, I demonstrate how to connect an Xbox One Controller directly to a MacBook Air M1 using only a USB-C cable. The best part?
--There are NO batteries in the controller !!!

By plugging the controller directly into the Mac's Thunderbolt/USB-C port, the laptop powers the controller and handles all data transmission. This means you can play Asphalt 9: Legends with absolute precision—no Bluetooth pairing issues, no wireless interference, and zero battery anxiety.



Setup Details:

Device: MacBook Air M1 - Apple Silicon

Controller: Xbox One or Series X Controller -Wired Connection

Game: Asphalt 9: Legends -macOS version - from app store

Connection: USB-C to USB-C
or Micro-USB to USB-C depending on your controller model

Watch as I show that every trigger, button, and nitro boost works perfectly with a hardwired connection!

Setup Checklist for Mac Users:
Plug and Play: macOS especially on M1/M2/M3 chips has native support for Xbox controllers. You do not need to install any drivers.

The Cable Matters: Ensure you are using a USB-C to USB-C cable or a USB-C to Micro-USB cable for older Xbox One controllers that supports Data Transfer. Some cables are "charge-only" and won't work.

Game Settings: Once connected, Asphalt 9 should automatically detect the controller. You can verify this in the game's Settings -- Controls menu.

Battery-Free: The MacBook Air M1 provides enough power to run the controller's haptics vibration even without batteries installed.
