Game preset
Manor Lords: controller layout for Mac
Manor Lords 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: Medieval city builder.
Get the preset in two clicks
- Open InputConfig and click Smart Preset Maker on the welcome screen.
- Search for Manor Lords 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.

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
- The left stick pans the camera and the right stick drives the cursor; squeeze the right trigger to place buildings or confirm.
- Face buttons control time: A pauses, B speeds up, X slows down, so you can rush construction then slow for battles.
- Shoulder buttons zoom the camera in and out for surveying your settlement.
- The D-pad opens the road, housing, recruitment, and army tools for quick building without the menu.
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.
