Hi everyone

I have the new M1 Mini and cannot get my wireless Xbox 360 controller to connect.

It used to be fine on my 2011 MBP (I think I may have downloaded some drivers, but not 100% sure as it was a while ago) but cannot get it to work now.

In my System Settings there is an icon for a 360 controller (presumably migrated from my old Mac?) but the device doesn't show here.

Anyone successfully managed to get this working with an M1 Mac? Or is this one of those things that just isn't compatible anymore?
 
Bumping this to see if anyone can help. I'd like to get into properly playing some of the games that I've got without having to fiddle around with a mouse and keyboard.

I should add that I'm using a wireless Xbox 360 controller along with the Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver. I had used 360Controller but it seems that this isn't compatible with Big Sur.
