Inscryption: controller layout for Mac
Inscryption 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 deckbuilder.
Get the preset in two clicks
- Open InputConfig and click Smart Preset Maker on the welcome screen.
- Search for Inscryption 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Left stick left | Mouse motion left (speed 16) | Move cursor left |
| Left stick right | Mouse motion right (speed 16) | Move cursor right |
| Left stick up | Mouse motion up (speed 16) | Move cursor up |
| Left stick down | Mouse motion down (speed 16) | Move cursor down |
| Right stick left | A | Move / look left in the cabin (A) |
| Right stick right | D | Move / look right in the cabin (D) |
| Right stick up | W | Move / look forward in the cabin (W) |
| Right stick down | S | Move / look back in the cabin (S) |
| A / Cross | Left click | Select / play card / drag (left click) |
| X / Square | Right click | Inspect / back (right click) |
| RB / R1 | Space | Ring the bell to end your turn (Space) |
| Y / Triangle | Scroll up | Pan camera up (scroll wheel) |
| B / Circle | Scroll down | Pan camera down (scroll wheel) |
| Start / Options | Escape | Menu (Esc) |
| Back / Share / Select | 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
- Inscryption is mouse-driven: the left stick moves the cursor and A clicks, so you can play cards from the couch.
- Press RB to ring the bell and end your combat turn, exactly like tapping Space on the keyboard.
- Use the right stick (WASD) to walk and look around the cabin during exploration and inspection.
- It is a desk-bound card game, so the cursor stays visible and free at all times.
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.
