Getting Logitech F310 to work with Macbook USB-C port

Raw

LogitechF310_Macbook.MD

Connect & use Logitech F310 with Macbook

Since my Macbook Pro only has USB-C port, I used an USB-A to USB-C adapter to connect my F310 to it, but it does not work (pressing MODE button does not turn on the LED).

How to

To make it work:

Disconnect F310 from Mac
On F310: switch X-input to D-input
Hold Logitech button (in the middle)
Connect F310 to Mac via adapter, now you can release the Logitech button.

Now you should be able to use your gamepad.

Test:

Try pressing MODE button, the LED should turn on/off.
Use Gamepad Tester

Notes:

Changing it back to X-input will not work

Had same problem but with F510 model.
Connection problem was solved with cable with external power supply (I made it for external cd/dvd drive).

With this cable gamepad connects without any manipulations every time.

But now I run into software problems:

Gamepad disconnects when Steam app is launched.
Back button acts as home button and launches Launchpad with games folder in any app. Logitech button does nothing.
Has anyone solved this issues?

Hardware: Macbook Air m1, macOS Ventura 13.4.1, Steam version 1687386907.

The solution for #2 is to open a terminal and type these commands. Log out and back in for the settings to take effect.

defaults write com.apple.GameController bluetoothPrefsMenuLongPressAction -integer 0
defaults write com.apple.GameController bluetoothPrefsShareLongPressSystemGestureMode -integer -1
