Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice: controller layout for Mac
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice 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: Posture-based action, deflect and prosthetics.
Get the preset in two clicks
- Open InputConfig and click Smart Preset Maker on the welcome screen.
- Search for Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice 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
- Hold RMB to guard; tap it just as a blow lands for a deflect that builds enemy posture.
- Press RB to use the equipped prosthetic tool (it spends Spirit Emblems).
- Press R3 to lock on; press again to release and recenter the camera.
- Tap RT (attack) into a deflect-and-counter rhythm, and use forward + dodge to Mikiri a thrust.
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.
