The devs released many updates in the last months, all of them focusing on gamepad related issues. Seems like they had recurring issues with that. You may give a try to the updates before blaming the OS.X driver. I am unsure if theses updates apply to OS.X too, I guess they do.
Here is a few of them :
Patch 1.4.4 (09 September 2016)
XInput now enabled by default on Windows (bypasses some controller problems with Windows 10 Anniversary).
Fixed phantom inputs when using XInput.
Fixed -debuginput launch option not working when XInput is enabled.
Added -disabledpad launch option to disable default mapping of the d-pad.
Updated input device profiles.
Patch 1.4.3 (29 July 2016)
Added debug option to get more information about attached controllers (available by launching with the argument “-debuginput”)
