Controllers Lite

Controllers Lite tells you in seconds whether your game controller actually works on your Mac. Connect a controller and it appears in the list. Select it and every button, stick, trigger, and sensor is shown live, lighting up the moment you press it. If a controller never shows up at all, you know your Mac isn't seeing it rather than having to guess. WHAT YOU CAN CHECK - Every button, D-pad direction, analog stick, and analog trigger - Stick drift, by watching whether a stick reports movement while you aren't touching it - Motion sensors, with live roll, pitch, and yaw readouts - Touchpad input, including multi-finger positions - Battery level and connection type for each controller - Whether macOS recognizes the controller in the first place SUPPORTED CONTROLLERS - PlayStation: DualSense, DualSense Edge, DualShock 4, Access Controller (including expansion ports), and the PS Move Navigation Controller - Xbox: Xbox Wireless Controller, Elite Wireless Controller, Adaptive Controller, and Adaptive Joystick - Nintendo: Switch Pro Controller, Pro Controller 2, Joy-Con, Joy-Con 2, and Joy-Cons docked in the Charging Grip over USB - Most other USB and Bluetooth gamepads FEATURES - Test several controllers at once and switch between them instantly - Buttons window that shows the active button and its value at a glance - Pair controllers over Bluetooth without leaving the app - Controllers are remembered and reconnect automatically between launches - Universal app, running natively on both Apple silicon and Intel Macs - Dark and Light mode HINTS - After connecting a PlayStation controller, press the PS button to wake it up. - Xbox 360 controllers need a third-party driver installed before macOS will see them.
