Sifu: controller layout for Mac
Sifu 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: Controller mapping for Sifu (PC) - kung-fu brawler with parry and dodge.
Get the preset in two clicks
- Open InputConfig and click Smart Preset Maker on the welcome screen.
- Search for Sifu 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/2138710 on activate, and confines and hides the pointer while it runs, so a stray mouse never leaves the window.
The full button map
| Controller | Sends | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Left stick left | A | Move left (A) |
| Left stick right | D | Move right (D) |
| Left stick up | W | Move forward (W) |
| Left stick down | S | Move back (S) |
| Right stick right | Mouse motion right (speed 16) | Camera right |
| Right stick left | Mouse motion left (speed 16) | Camera left |
| Right stick down | Mouse motion down (speed 16) | Camera down |
| Right stick up | Mouse motion up (speed 16) | Camera up |
| X / Square | Left click | Strike / light attack (LMB) |
| Y / Triangle | Right click | Heavy / strong attack (RMB) |
| Right trigger | Space | Guard / parry (Space) |
| Left trigger | Shift (Left) | Dodge (Shift + direction) |
| RB / R1 | F | Focus (F) |
| LB / L1 | X | Takedown (X) |
| A / Cross | E | Pick up weapon / vault (E) |
| B / Circle | Q | Interact (Q) |
| D-pad up | R | Throw weapon (R) |
| L3 (left stick click) | Shift (Left), S | Avoid high attack (hold guard + S) |
| R3 (right stick click) | Shift (Left), W | Avoid low attack (hold guard + W) |
| D-pad right | Ctrl (Left) | Directional throw (Ctrl) |
| Start / Options | Escape | Pause 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
- Hold right trigger to guard, then tap it as a blow lands to parry - Sifu's defense is all on the guard button.
- Hold left trigger with a direction on the left stick to dodge incoming strikes.
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.
