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

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.

the same, macos (ventura) is so lame - it does not support x-input, and xbox one gamepads via wired connection=(

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

See gamepad controller mapped to Launchpad for details
