CLUSTER XBOX-CONTROLLERS-WORK · 10 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2026-09-11
Xbox controller Mac cloud gaming
This cluster comprises utilities that enable Xbox controllers to work with cloud gaming on macOS, either through Chrome extensions or system utilities. The cluster's dated history is too thin to read a shape from, as no dated entries exist before the index start. Traction is led by deck-as-controller with 162 stars, followed by Paddr (12 stars) and gfn-steam-controller-macos (3 stars).
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 10 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
