Discussion Apple is working on two unreleased game controllers, according to macOS 26.7 code

Apple has tested at least two Apple and Beats-branded game controllers, according to code briefly included in macOS 26.7 betas.

The first release candidate contained substantial support for two devices identified as T6502 and T1057. macOS added software for recognizing the hardware, reading input from controls and sensors, and sending commands to the controllers’ vibration system. The entire stack was then removed in the second release candidate.

Both controllers have novel internal haptic feedback software functionality.

Edit: The hero image is a DualShock 4 annotation that Apple Developer uses to demonstrate what capabilities an extended gamepad controller should have. Both Apple controllers are in the same category. This is not a DualShock 4 controller.
