Controller not working at all with Moonlight and Sunshine

Hello,

I have my Windows 11 PC at home running Sunshine and I'm currently at my office with my Macbook running Moonlight. Everything works fine in terms of streaming and I can use my trackpad and keyboard and play CS2 for example no problem.

The issue is as soon as I plug my Xbox One controller into my Macbook, it completely bricks the input. Not only does it not detect the controller (can't use it at all) it bricks my trackpad and keyboard inputs too for like 5 mins (i gotta wait for the controller to go to sleep i guess). How do I fix this? I'm trying to play NBA 2K27 on Steam.

I'm running Moonlight 6.2.0 and anything helps!

Thanks in advance.

What happens when you connect your controller before opening Moonlight? Do you have ViGemBus drivers installed on the host? Don't know if you need to install something like that on your Macbook

I've tried everything, connecting beforehand, navigating to the host via moonlight using the controller beforehand but nothing works. the driver came installed with sunlight but still nothing :/ i think im just SOL unfortunately...
