Xbox One vs Dualsense Controller for Mac Gaming in 2025: Which One to Choose?

Hey!

I've been using an 8BitDo Pro 2 controller for a while now, but it doesn't vibrate when playing Expedition 33 via Game Pass. I'm thinking about upgrading and can't decide between an Xbox One controller or a PS5 DualSense for my Macbook / iPad / Iphone setup.

I mainly use CrossOver 25, Steam, GeForce Now, and Xbox Cloud Gaming. I've noticed PS5 controllers displayed in Apple Stores which seems promising for Mac compatibility, but Xbox controllers appear to have wider support across different gaming services.

Just wondering what your experiences have been with either controller on Mac. I'm curious about compatibility, haptic feedback support, and overall which one you'd recommend based on real-world use.

Thanks for any insights!
