An enterprising Mac gamer (I thought they all dual booted to Windows?) created a USB driver for your Xbox 360 controllers to use on OS X. It’s released under GPL, so if there are any problems you can go ahead and fix them yourself. Most things work, but there are still some items yet to be fixed:

I don’t think settings are persistent

More settings, e.g. trigger deadzone, button remap

Force feedback may elongate effects

Force feedback (DirectInput-style interface) emulator may need more work

Preference pane currently only tests rumble motors, by creating a force feedback interface but then just using the Escape functionality

Driver needs to handle more possible errors.
