    The Xbox controller is not working on MacOS Sequoia Beta 15.4.
    Although it is recognized in 'Joy.cpl', the buttons and axes do not actually move.
    I understand that it is difficult for Parallels to support the Beta update.
    However, I hope we can resolve this issue in preparation for the April release.

    System:
    Apple M1 Pro
    16GB
    Sequoia Beta 15.4
    VPC: Windows 11 Home 24H2
    Parallels Desktop 20 for Mac v20.2.2 (55879)

    I have the same problem and it's very frustrating.
    The best is to avoid beta software from apple in the future, no matter if on iOS or Mac.
    Just spare yourself the trouble.

    hello!
    Do you have macOS 15.4 beta 2 installed? beta 2 release notes say the issue is fixed in beta 2:
    • Fixed: Game controllers might stop responding when accessibility features, such as Voice Over, are enabled. (141497799)

    Yes, I have already updated to macOS 15.4 beta 2, but the issue remains unresolved. I have also checked VoiceOver and it is turned off. I have never used it.

    Just not be confused.
    I mean that the Xbox Controller is not working under Windows as of Sequoia on Beta 4.
    It's working under MacOs.

    Hi, any update on this? I'm having the same issue. I updated to macOS 15.4 (official release, not the beta) and now the xbox controller won't work on the parallels windows 11 VM. Other bluetooth devices (mouse, headphones) work fine.

    As of 15.5 Beta 1 it's not working.
    I wish I knew if the Playstation controller works so I would buy that just to get going again.
