For example, the “A” button on your controller for jump to the spacebar, and the right trigger to the left click on the mouse button. These let you set your input from the controller to a corresponding button on the keyboard and mouse. Other games: If you have games outside the Steam store, want to play games that don’t have native controller support, or are wanting to use the Joy-Cons, then you’ll need a button binding application, also known as button mappers. To enable this, go to System Preferences, go to the Bluetooth section, and make sure Bluetooth is set to “On” in the left sidebar. Likewise the Joy-Cons are only wireless, meaning you’ll have to use Bluetooth for them. Turn on Bluetooth: While you can use the Pro-controller with the USB-C cable, it may be more convenient to use it wirelessly. Motion Controls: motion control with these is currently not supported in either controllers at the time of writing. This is fine for some basic games or 2D platformers, but other games like first-person games, racing games, etc. Joy-Con users: If you use a Joy-con, the detachable controllers that come with the Switch, then each Joy-Con is seen as a separate device on the Mac there is currently no way to use them in tandem as a single controller on the computer in the same way you can on the Switch. This is not required to gaming, but can be useful for better response times.

If you’re using a USB-C/Thunderbolt 3 MacBook you’ll need either a USB-A to USB-C adapter, or a new USB-C cable to connect it to your Mac.

USB-C cable or adapter: The Switch Pro controller uses USB-C to charge, and comes with a USB-A (traditional) to USB-C cable to charge with.

For this one, we’ll be using Joystick Mapper from the Mac App Store.

Controller Button binding application: If your game doesn’t natively support a controller, but want to use it anyway, you’ll need to find a binding or button mapping application.

3rd-party ones should still work, but we’ll be using official Nintendo controllers for this one.

A Nintendo Switch controller, either the Switch Pro Controller or a pair of Joy-Cons.

The Nintendo Switch controllers are compatible with the Mac because they use Bluetooth to connect wirelessly to the Switch console. If you game on a Mac (not common, but we do exist), there are some games where you might prefer to use a controller over the keyboard and mouse. I’ve added directions for this in that section. If you use an app like JoyStick Mapper or an equivalent app, you may need to grant Accessibility Permissions in order for the app to work with your controller.
