Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising on a Mac with a controller

The Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising layout is built into InputConfig, free on the Mac App Store. You don't have to make an account, there are no subscriptions, and nothing is locked. Optimized for Apple silicon.

On a Mac: No Mac version. It streams to a Mac from a Windows PC you own or a cloud service that carries it. The stream normally passes a controller to the game's native scheme, which is what a fighting game deserves. This layout is for streams that do not see the pad, and it starts from a six-button template with Street Fighter names, so match its keys to this game once.

Yes, Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising plays on a Mac with a controller, streamed from a Windows PC or a cloud service that carries it. When the stream passes your pad, the game's own controls are the better way to play. This layout is for the stream that does not, and Rising's Skill button, the friendliest thing a fighter has done in years, belongs on a bumper.

The layout, control by control

How the layout thinks

• Move. The D-pad and the left stick both send the arrow keys: up jumps, down crouches, back walks and blocks.
• Punch rows. Square sends U, Triangle I, and R1 O.
• Kick rows. Cross sends J, Circle K, and L1 L.
• Trigger pairs. The right trigger sends O and L together, and the left trigger I and K, so one pull presses two keys.
• Menus. Pause on Start (Escape), select on Back (Tab).

The rows carry Street Fighter names from the template. Rising needs six buttons, and the template has exactly six attack rows.

Match the keys to Rising

• Change the game. Set Rising's keyboard controls to the keys the rows send: U, I, O, J, K and L.
• Or change the rows. Open each attack row's output menu in InputConfig and pick the key Rising uses.

A sensible split once the keys match:

• Face buttons. Light, Medium, Heavy and Unique.
• Bumpers. Skill and Guard.
• A trigger. The Raging Strike.

Skill on a bumper keeps it under a finger that is not busy attacking.

Tune it

• D-pad or stick. Both move. Remove the four rows of the one your thumb drifts on.
• Turbo. Not in ranked, obviously. In training it is fine.

Pick the stick or the D-pad for Granblue, and remove the other.

If the game sees the pad

If the stream passes your controller, use the game's own controls with this preset off. With both running, every press arrives twice.

Granblue reads a passed-through pad natively, and that is where its inputs are sharpest.

Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising controller support: controller or keyboard

Steam's store page lists partial controller support for Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising: it plays on a controller, but some parts, such as a launcher, text entry or a menu, still expect a keyboard or a mouse. This layout sends keys and mouse movement from the pad, which can cover the parts the game's own support leaves out. With partial support, a layout fills the gaps the game leaves.

From Steam's listing, checked in October 2026. Every game's listing is in Mac games with controller support.

If your controller is not working in Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising

When Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising does not react to your controller on a Mac, climb this ladder, smallest step first:

1. Check that the Mac sees the controller. Open the gamepad tester and press a button. If nothing lights up there, the problem is the connection, and a controller that is connected but not working covers that first.
2. Press a button after the stream has started. A stream only picks up a controller that is paired with the Mac, and a browser shows a controller to a page only after a button press. Start Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising, then press any button. Streaming from your own PC has its own checks, in how to stream PC games to a Mac with a controller.
3. Play it from keys. If Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising still ignores the pad, activate this layout. It sends the keyboard and mouse controls Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising already reads. Turn the game's own controller option off while it runs, or a press can arrive twice. The layout works whether or not Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising ever sees the controller.

Get it in two clicks

1. Get InputConfig free on the Mac App Store, open it, and click Smart Preset Maker on the welcome screen.
2. Search for Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising and pick it. The layout is created as a preset in your sidebar, named and ready.
3. Press Activate. Every row can be changed afterwards: the editor's Scan button rebinds any control the moment you touch it.

To check the controller itself first, the gamepad tester shows every button and stick live in your browser.

Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising controls: every button and the key it sends

The Sends column is Granblue Fantasy Versus: Rising's default keyboard and mouse controls, as this layout expects them. If you changed a key in the game's settings, change the same row in InputConfig.

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 labeled B; the mapping still fires on position.
