#Ps4 controller on steam mac manual#
I've read on the manual that comes with the controller titled "Registering (pairing) the controller" that there is a need to pair it on the PS4 console to complete registration. I tried the controller on Fez, Rayman Origins and Monaco-which all have joystick support-but no luck.Īlso tried mapping the controller thru Joystick Mapper, it will say "1 Joystick Connected" but when I try to bind the controller, click "scan" while clicking a button on the controller, nothing. The computer detects the controller but the games I have doesn't seem to recognize any inputs on the DS4. I got the DS4 yesterday (controller only, no console) and tested it on my Mac but it doesn't seem to work. Games like City Skyline with only keyboard and mouse support I can play from the couch very nicely.I read here that the DS4 will work on Mac out-of-the-box by plugging the controller via a micro USB cable-they said it will automatically work as a regular joystick. But the Steam controller is very very nice with games that don't have controller support as you can emulate keyboard and mouse. Next to this I use the Steam Controller, I prefer the PS4 controller mostly. The only thing I can very very much confirm, PS4 support enabled breaks things, lieave it off!! (I might be very wrong with this, but it was very very simple). It's a long time ago but I believe I only whent to preferences on mac, and add a blue thooth device, pressed the PS button for a little while and it apeared and selected it to join. So far I never use the PS4 controller wired, so far a brief overiew for bluetooth: Dirt (any racegame works fine), The Binding of Isaac, Stardew Valley, Rocket Leage, Battle Block Theater, Starbreak (I belive a free game), Brawlhalla (free), Super Meat Boy, Roge Legacy, nuclear throne. I don't have any experience with those games, did you check any settings in game or gamelauncher to activate your controller?
