Small update, the program will proceed to let you select a controller if you grant it “input monitoring” permissions in “system preferences” -> “security”, however, it presents me with two separate controllers and, no matter which one I select the program will beachball and do nothing. 🙁

That’s because these keyboards run QMK firmware not xwhatsit – kindly note that the switch was noted in the manual Andy 🙂

I recommend everyone goes through the manual beginning to end 🙂

If you flash xwhatsit firmware, the utility will run on mac if you follow the notes in the manual. But I recommend everyone stays with QMK firmware running on their xwhatsit controller hardware.
