Octopath Traveler II: controller layout for Mac
Octopath Traveler II 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: HD-2D turn based JRPG.
Get the preset in two clicks
- Open InputConfig and click Smart Preset Maker on the welcome screen.
- Search for Octopath Traveler II 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/1971650 on activate, and confines and hides the pointer while it runs, so a stray mouse never leaves the window.

|---|---|---|
| Left stick left | A | Move left, A |
| Left stick right | D | Move right, D |
| Left stick up | W | Move up, W |
| Left stick down | S | Move down, S |
| A / Cross | F | Confirm, examine, F |

| X / Square | Space | Path action, talk details, Space |
| Y / Triangle | I | Open menu, latent power, I |

| RB / R1 | E | Zoom in, next page, E |
| Left trigger | Q | Previous party member or page, Q |
| Right trigger | E | Next party member or page, E |
| Back / Share / Select | M | World map, M |
| L3 (left stick click) | Shift (Left) | Dash, hold to run, Shift |
| Start / Options | Escape | System menu, Esc |
| Home / PS / Guide | T | Change time of day, T |
| D-pad up | W | Menu up, W |
| D-pad down | S | Menu down, S |
| D-pad left | A | Menu left, A |
| D-pad right | D | Menu right, D |
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
- Confirm is F and cancel is C, since this port maps field and menu actions to letter keys.
- Hold the dash key while moving on the field to travel between towns faster.
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.
