Game preset
Hades: controller layout for Mac
Hades does not need a controller-aware version of itself to be played from a controller on a Mac. InputConfig sends real keyboard and mouse events, so the game sees a keyboard and a mouse, and you hold the controller. This is the layout the app's Smart Preset Maker builds for it: Roguelike action - attack, dash, cast.
Get the preset in two clicks
- Open InputConfig and click Smart Preset Maker on the welcome screen.
- Search for Hades 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 preset can open the game for you when it activates: it launches steam://run/1145360 on activate, and confines and hides the pointer while it runs, so a stray mouse never leaves the window.
The full button map
| Controller | Sends | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Left stick left | A | Move left |
| Left stick right | D | Move right |
| Left stick up | W | Move up |
| Left stick down | S | Move down |
| Right stick right | Mouse motion right (speed 18) | Aim right |
| Right stick left | Mouse motion left (speed 18) | Aim left |
| Right stick down | Mouse motion down (speed 14) | Aim down |
| Right stick up | Mouse motion up (speed 14) | Aim up |
| A / Cross | Space | Dash (Space) |
| Right trigger | Left click | Attack |
| Left trigger | Right click | Special |
| X / Square | Q | Cast (Q) |
| B / Circle | E | Call / summon (E) |
| Y / Triangle | F | Interact / gift (F) |
| RB / R1 | R | Hammer / use (R) |
| Start / Options | Escape | Menu (Esc) |
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
- Attack and Special sit on the triggers; Dash is A/Cross.
- Cast = Q, Call = E by Hades' keyboard defaults - rebind in-game if yours differ.
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.
