It's just a shame these companies won't work together to give us something as basic as native controller support in Steam. Hold down the pair button on the top of the controller: The pair button on an Xbox One S controller. In the terminal window, enter the following command, replacing MACADDRESS with the. Take note of the MAC address, well need it to connect the controller. It should appear in the list of devices with a unique MAC address and the words 'wireless controller' at the end. The M1 chip is a beast and I can play games I could never play on Integrated Intel Graphics. Put the Xbox controller into Pairing mode. If you can manage to get all planets in alignment and you're willing to put in a little effort, you can have a good experience playing 2D games on your M1 Mac thanks to this app.

I wish it supported PS4 controllers, but luckily I have a Switch controller so it works for me. At least we have something to play 2D Steam games until Valve gets it together. Otherwise, I applaud the developer for his effort and making the app free. So you can move around in 3D games but not look (which makes 3D games unplayable). You can map the mouse to the right joystick and it does control the mouse pointer on the desktop, but for some reason it doesn't translate to looking around once you are in the game. It worked fine on 2D games that don't require a mouse for looking around. Until Steam updates controller support, this is the best we get. This is the only app I could find that will let me use a controller with 2D Steam games on my M1 Mac on Big Sur.
