Joystick Mapper alternative for Mac

Joystick Mapper is a paid Mac App Store mapper whose last update was in November 2019. It still sells and still ranks, but it does not know the DualSense, DualSense Edge, or the Access Controller, and its presets page has said coming soon for years.

Steps

  1. Install InputConfig and allow Accessibility access.
  2. Pair the controller.
  3. Pick a preset or build one with Scan.
  4. Activate.

The free Mac alternative

InputConfig is free, updated for current macOS and controllers, ships dozens of presets plus ready layouts for 450+ games and apps, and adds MIDI, touchpad, gyro, macros and chords. InputConfig is on the Mac App Store; the free controller mapper comparison lists every option we know of honestly, including the ones that are not us.

Switching in five minutes

  1. Install InputConfig from the Mac App Store and allow Accessibility access.
  2. Pair the controller if it is not already.
  3. Pick a built-in preset or search the Smart Preset Maker for the game or app.
  4. Open the editor to change any row: Scan a button, choose what it sends.
  5. Activate. The menu bar icon and the emergency stop turn it off instantly.
