Works, but a bit fiddly
- Set the controller to DirectInput (switch on the front).
- Press the buttons until the flashing LED indicates that the controller is trying to connect.
- Only now connect the receiver

Tested on my old Macbook Pro with El Capitan and Steam

So Logitech says: System requirement WIndows 7,8 or 10. If you have Windows installed on your Mac, then it works for sure....Then buy a real notebook while you're at it. :-)

Unfortunately no experience with the Mac
