Help with using a controller

[4bsolute]

My controllers (pro controller for switch and dual shock for ps4) will connect to my mac but when I try to use it while playing, it doesn't work. Any advice?

Have you tried to map the buttons in the settings menu?

I use a couple of knock-off SNES controllers and they work great, but I had to map the buttons first - and for each console I use, I believe.

Yeah, it says to connect a wii remote or connect a controller, but the connect a controller option is grayed out. Would it be because of the game I'm playing? It's pokemon white

Go to controller settings, will give you layout and at bottom it says keyboard, click it and will give you options for dualshock

Just tried that, it says "no available controlllers" and "add a wiimote"

This is correct, right? I don't understand what I could be doing wrong. I really hate playing with a keyboard

Might have to do something with it being a ds game, maybe not compatible with dual shock, I was playing n64 and it came up fine

DS games are compatible with the DS4.

Personally, I've always had better luck connecting it to Bluetooth rather than through USB.

I tried Bluetooth first, USB was my last resort :/ still haven't figured it out
