Game preset
Satisfactory: controller layout for Mac
Satisfactory 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: First-person factory: move, build, interact.
Get the preset in two clicks
- Open InputConfig and click Smart Preset Maker on the welcome screen.
- Search for Satisfactory 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 Steam.app for you when it activates.

| A / Cross | Space | Jump |
| B / Circle | C | Crouch (C) |
| X / Square | R | Rotate / reload (R) |
| Y / Triangle | E | Interact (E) |
| LB / L1 | Q | Build menu (Q) |
| L3 (left stick click) | Shift (Left) | Sprint (Shift) |
| D-pad up | 1 | Hotbar 1 |

| D-pad right | 3 | Hotbar 3 |
| Back / Share / Select | Tab | Inventory (Tab) |
| Home / PS / Guide | M | Map (M) |
| 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
- Left bumper opens the build menu; R rotates the held part.
- Triggers build and dismantle; hold left-stick click to sprint.
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.
