Check the box for your controller-PlayStation, Xbox, Switch Pro, or Generic-and you should now be able to move your mouse with the right stick on your controller. Open the main Steam window and head to Settings > Controller > General Controller Settings.
If you plan on using your controller as a mouse for more than a few random clicks, though, you may want to enable full controller support on the desktop. If you keep Steam running in the background, this will do in a pinch with no futzing necessary. Hold the Xbox button and press the right trigger to click, or left trigger to invoke a right-click. If you have an Xbox controller connected, for example, you can press and hold the Xbox button while moving the right stick to move the mouse. Steam enables some shortcuts called "Chords"-combinations of buttons on your controller that map to certain functions on your PC. If you have Steam installed on your gaming PC, you already have desktop controller support built-in.

Select “Wireless Device” and click Pair.Wait for the Wireless Controller device to show up in Bluetooth (select Add Device in OS X Mountain Lion or earlier – shows up automatically in Mavericks).Put the DualShock 4 into Pairing mode by pressing and holding the PlayStation and Share buttons until the light bar blinks rapidly.Open Bluetooth preferences on your Mac.In some cases it works but only with the USB cable, but if you want to pair the controller over bluetooth anyway, follow this procedure from mactrast: It's either that is the reason why it's not working or the DS4 is just not compatible with my games (I think it should be tho, since it's supposed to work as a regular joystick when plugged thru USB cable). Is this a requirement for the controller to work?
I've read on the manual that comes with the controller titled "Registering (pairing) the controller" that there is a need to pair it on the PS4 console to complete registration. I tried the controller on Fez, Rayman Origins and Monaco-which all have joystick support-but no luck.Īlso tried mapping the controller thru Joystick Mapper, it will say "1 Joystick Connected" but when I try to bind the controller, click "scan" while clicking a button on the controller, nothing. The computer detects the controller but the games I have doesn't seem to recognize any inputs on the DS4. I got the DS4 yesterday (controller only, no console) and tested it on my Mac but it doesn't seem to work. I read here that the DS4 will work on Mac out-of-the-box by plugging the controller via a micro USB cable-they said it will automatically work as a regular joystick.
