USB-C cable or adapter: The Switch Pro controller uses USB-C to charge, and comes with a USB-A (traditional) to USB-C cable to charge with.For this one, we’ll be using Joystick Mapper from the Mac App Store. Controller Button binding application: If your game doesn’t natively support a controller, but want to use it anyway, you’ll need to find a binding or button mapping application.3rd-party ones should still work, but we’ll be using official Nintendo controllers for this one. A Nintendo Switch controller, either the Switch Pro Controller or a pair of Joy-Cons.The Nintendo Switch controllers are compatible with the Mac because they use Bluetooth to connect wirelessly to the Switch console. If you game on a Mac (not common, but we do exist), there are some games where you might prefer to use a controller over the keyboard and mouse. I’ve added directions for this in that section. If you use an app like JoyStick Mapper or an equivalent app, you may need to grant Accessibility Permissions in order for the app to work with your controller.
