eBook Reader: layout for Mac
eBook Reader can be driven from a game controller, a MIDI pad, or an adaptive controller on a Mac. InputConfig sends real keyboard and mouse events, so the app sees an ordinary keyboard and mouse. This is the layout the app's Smart Preset Maker builds for it: Turn pages, scroll, zoom for reading apps.
Get the preset in two clicks
- Open InputConfig and click Smart Preset Maker on the welcome screen.
- Search for eBook Reader and pick it. The layout below is created as a preset in your sidebar, named and ready.
- Press Activate. Every row can be changed afterwards: the editor's Scan button rebinds any control the moment you touch it.
The full button map
| Controller | Sends | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Right trigger | Right | Next page (right trigger) |
| Left trigger | Left | Previous page (left trigger) |
| A / Cross | Right | Next page |
| B / Circle | Left | Previous page |
| RB / R1 | Right | Next page (bumper) |
| LB / L1 | Left | Previous page (bumper) |
| D-pad right | Right | Next page |
| D-pad left | Left | Previous page |
| Right stick down | Scroll down | Scroll down |
| Right stick up | Scroll up | Scroll up |
| X / Square | Command (Left), = | Zoom in |
| Y / Triangle | Command (Left), - | Zoom out |
Button names follow the Xbox / PlayStation pair shown in the editor, so A / Cross is the bottom face button on either pad. On a Switch Pro Controller the bottom button is labelled B; the mapping still fires on position.
Tips
- Triggers, bumpers, face buttons, or D-pad all turn pages.
- Right stick scrolls within a page; X and Y zoom.
Make it yours
Nothing here is fixed. Rows can be re-scanned to a different control, given hold and double-tap actions, chords, turbo, macros, haptic or spoken feedback, and per-binding deadzones and sensitivity curves. The binding editor guide covers every option, and the controller map shows what each control is called.
