What it is

InputConfig maps controllers and a Mac’s keyboard, mouse, and trackpad to keyboard and mouse actions across macOS apps. It supports DualSense, DualSense Edge, DualShock 4, Xbox, Switch Pro, Joy-Cons, Stadia, 8BitDo, Steam Controller, and MFi or HID gamepads. Mappings can trigger keystrokes, clicks, pointer movement, scrolling, typed phrases, macros, MIDI notes, and system functions, including hold, double-tap, chord, and turbo actions. InputConfig can also send MIDI notes, control changes, and pitch bend through a virtual MIDI port for GarageBand, Logic, and other DAWs. The editor offers per-app profiles and profile switching, along with more than 450 presets for games, apps, and workflows. The maker describes accessibility support for adaptive controllers, one-stick driving, spoken feedback, dictation, and zoom. InputConfig is free and open source under the MIT license. It requires macOS 14 or later and supports Apple silicon and Intel Macs. Virtual-controller output is not available.
