Has anyone out there gotten these things to work, out of the box, on iOS and MacOS devices?

eneroi got a previous "edition" by the same company, and can say about MacOS: eh, sort of. MacOS gamepad support is trash but it worked fine with a third-party button mapping utility called "USB Overdrive" (free nagware, $20 to un-nag).
oh, that edition didn't have analog sticks so i have no idea about those… i wouldn't be optimistic, but they might work just fine.

HaggisMacJediah ok, I had a feeling. Cool. I'll look into this some more, I'll probably wait for the next time these drop.

eneroMy experience using one of these is that it gets reported to SDL2 in macOS as a joystick, not a gamepad. All the buttons and axes work, but compared to an Xbox One controller, they're mapped differently. If the game supports joysticks and gamepads, and has button remapping, it should work just fine.

kernelokI think @HaggisMacJedi is using the controller on his Mac with said emulators. Out of the box, this controller only works in iOS with a few games that the company has listed on their website. You would have to jailbreak your iOS device to get it to work with anything that isnt supported. I knew this going in and bought one anyway on Amazon when it was on sale a few months ago. It didnt impress me enough to keep, so I returned it. Jailbreaking just so I could play Minecraft PE with this controller just wasnt worth the trouble.

kernelokMan I'm sorry it took so long to respond. I'm was using this controller on my Mac using emulators but now I'm using it on my Raspberry Pi running emulators and it is BRILLIANT with that wirelessly! Atari's Greatest Hits doesn't even work on the latest update of iOS so I'm not using that.
