App preset
Twitch: controller layout for Mac
Twitch can be driven from a game controller, a MIDI pad, or an adaptive controller on a Mac. InputConfig sends real keyboard and mouse events, so the app sees an ordinary keyboard and mouse. This is the layout the app's Smart Preset Maker builds for it: Lean back and run the stream player.
Get the preset in two clicks
- Open InputConfig and click Smart Preset Maker on the welcome screen.
- Search for Twitch 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 full button map

| X / Square | M | Mute / unmute (M) |
| B / Circle | T | Theatre mode (T) |
| RB / R1 | Up | Volume up (Up arrow) |
| LB / L1 | Down | Volume down (Down arrow) |

| Back / Share / Select | Command (Left), R | Reload the stream (Cmd+R) |
| L3 (left stick click) | Left click | Click (focus player / chat) |
| D-pad up | Up | Volume up (Up arrow) |
| D-pad down | Down | Volume down (Down arrow) |
| D-pad left | Alt / Option (Left), Left | Browser back (Alt+Left) |
| D-pad right | Alt / Option (Left), Right | Browser forward (Alt+Right) |
| Left stick right | Mouse motion right (speed 20) | Move pointer right |
| Left stick left | Mouse motion left (speed 20) | Move pointer left |
| Left stick down | Mouse motion down (speed 14) | Move pointer down |
| Left stick up | Mouse motion up (speed 14) | Move pointer up |
| Right stick up | Scroll up | Scroll chat / page up |
| Right stick down | Scroll down | Scroll chat / page down |
| Right trigger | Left click | Left click (select) |
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
- A plays and pauses (K), Y goes fullscreen (F), and B switches to theatre mode (T).
- Bumpers and the D-pad up/down adjust volume with the arrow keys; X mutes instantly.
- Left stick moves the pointer and right stick scrolls chat; right trigger clicks.
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.
