The controller should appear in the Bluetooth menu, and hopefully you’ll soon be shocked by how well it works. Hold it down for a couple of seconds.Īfter that, activate the DualShock 4’s Discovery Mode by holding the Share and PlayStation button at once for a few seconds. Then reset the DualShock 4 by slipping a paperclip into the tiny hole near the DualShock’s L2 button (on the back). First, open the Bluetooth menu under your Mac’s System Preferences.

If you’re having trouble, you can see if your Mac is properly recognizing the device by opening About This Mac, clicking System Report, then USB, and seeing if Wireless Controller is listed (yes, even if you have it plugged in).Īlternatively, you can simply pair it through Bluetooth. If you still see low quality video (Google processing sucks), try downloading.As with the rest of the controllers, you shouldn’t need any special mapping app to use the DualShock 4.īut if you don’t feel like paying $60 for what’ll likely amount to a dongle for another dongle, you can plug the controller directly into your Mac with a Micro USB cable. The 'Xbox Wireless Controller' entry is not anything like a leftover from the Xbox One controller, I tested it carefully :) Just to state this, the Xbox Series controller really creates two entries in CrossOver. Is there something we could do about it or is it purely macOS on M1 thing? I am not sure if this is related to Rosetta2. My Xbox One controller has the same behaviour as the Xbox Series one in Firefox (low refresh rate), Chrome (high/normal refresh rate), but in CrossOver only the 'Xbox Wireless Controller' entry is created and it doesn't register any keystrokes (as for the Xbox Series controller for this entry).

In CrossOver it creates two entries for a single gamepad: 'Xbox Wireless Controller' (not detecting any keystrokes on testing tab) and 'Controller (Xbox One For Windows)', which gives low refresh rate keystrokes. My Xbox Series controller seems to have low refresh rate in CrossOver and Firefox ( ), while it works perfectly in Chrome (the same tester page). Maybe I could try just to randomly check some boxes and re-run the game to see if it works?! Or is there a better way? I suspect that it could work to switch from Playstation Controller Support to Xbox Controller Support, but as I don't see what I check/uncheck … now only the first checkbox is checked.

If this can be fixed somehow within trial period, I will buy Crossover. opening menu for landing permission will deploy weapons, and so on. Like if you press circle + pad-down you should retract/extend landing gear, but it also does the boost, which should only trigger on a short press in circle alone. Sadly the double bindings do not works, which makes it virtually unplayable. binds to custom binds, changed every instance of Device='GamePad' to Device='DualShock4' - and it almost works. Or maybe some other mode to get this working? Issue I have with Elite Dangerous, it shows up as DualShock4 Controller, but with Buttons of XBox(360).

No idea, how to select the right entries blind. Here the Control itself works, but I cannot see the controller settings, maybe a font or something is missing? I see a screen with blank squares with checkboxes on the left side.
