Last-gen and earlier controllers may need custom drivers and a bit of setup. We have a comprehensive guide for most mainstream controllers that you can reference if you’re having issues, but most current-gen controllers will be plug and play on Windows and macOS. This step is obvious, but with so many kinds of controllers on the market, it can be a challenge to get them working correctly, especially on macOS. For use system-wide or in non-Steam games, you’ll need a third party application. If you’re just looking to play Steam games with a controller, Steam already has great built-in tools for remapping controllers in its Big Picture Mode and will be a much easier solution than anything else listed here. You’ll lose some analog input-for example, the joysticks will just function as arrow keys that are on or off without the usual range of sensitivity-but for some games, that’s not a huge issue. You can remap your controller buttons to keyboard key presses to get around this limitation. Many PC and Mac games treat the keyboard as a first-class citizen and have poor support for game controllers.
