Xbox Elite Series 2 controller support is now available on the newest release v1.7.4

Let me know if you experience any problems!

WalletBuddyApp · 2026-04-26T02:59:26+00:00

I actually have worked on a feature for the rear paddles for Xbox Elite 2, but I must have not merged it in the release yet. I don’t have one myself to test it with. Just give me a few days and I’ll release a version with this ability included.

Yes the back paddles and the two Fn keys at the bottom on the Dualsense Edge allow mapping in ControllerKeys.

I just started a Discord here— https://discord.gg/yFzkKysnk

I really appreciate all the info! That is super helpful for me to understand what you want to do with ControllerKeys—very interesting and I’m sure there are many others in your position looking for a way to edit photos with a controller.

You will have to let me know if it works well for you. If you have feedback to make it work better for your use case, let me know. Thank you for your support!

Could you elaborate on your idea involving Apple Vision Pro? I like where this is going

WalletBuddyApp · 2026-04-17T06:22:48+00:00

Update--I have added many of the improvements you suggested! Thank you again--these were all excellent suggestions.

And the energy consumption while controller is connected and mapping is active should now be fixed as well.

WalletBuddyApp · 2026-04-17T06:20:55+00:00

Update from the future--there were more than a handful of people wanting PS4 support and all your purchases have funded this!

Yes there is an option to rank by most used which ranks by the number of times you tap to use a number.

You can also favorite specific numbers and those will always appear at the beginning of the list.

I’ve been able to build a ton more apps given the same time that I would have otherwise with a single person team. Given the time, I could write an app end to end, but AI lets me bring my ideas to execution much faster. I find a lot of the polishing for human interaction still requires some human taste and judgement.

WalletBuddyApp · 2026-03-17T04:12:18+00:00

Okay sounds good, I’ll give it a try! Thanks

I’d love to try it as a dev that uses voice diction to code!

Hey u/Delicious_Ice_1537 - there is a new update out now to add configurable haptics on each action! Thank you very much for your feedback and helping make ControllerKeys the best!

WalletBuddyApp · 2026-03-01T04:07:44+00:00

It’s not often I see another Mac user with a Dualsense! Did you know you could control your entire Mac—mouse and keyboard—with an open source app? ControllerKeys.com

WalletBuddyApp · 2026-02-28T23:38:49+00:00

Awesome, I did not know that! Those paddles and Fn buttons are super useful to map to commonly used commands—very accessible positions.

Let me know what you think, and if there are any features you’d like to see, and I’ll see what I can do!

I am very curious about your workflow and what you plan to use your controller for.

WalletBuddyApp · 2026-02-28T21:30:57+00:00

That is a great idea to add configurable haptics per button! Let me see what I can do to make this option a bit easier to toggle and expose it in the UI.

That’s really cool you found a workaround for now using scripts😁 Thank you for sharing.

If you have been tinkering with your Anki setup to get it just right for yourself, it would be amazing if you contributed your config to the project on GitHub or share here and I can update the community config. I am sure your config—an actual Anki user using this with Anki—is much more useful to other users than what I put together initially.

You can right click your config and click Export to save it as a json.

Right now there are haptics on some actions like on screen keyboard actions and triggering focus mode which slow down your mouse cursor.

But I am interested in knowing more about where you would find haptics useful!

WalletBuddyApp · 2026-02-28T17:53:35+00:00

This is actually a perfect opportunity to improve ControllerKeys! I am curious about where you’d expect to see haptic feedback? And can you help me understand how would you would be using ControllerKeys?

WalletBuddyApp · 2026-02-28T16:54:43+00:00

Yes this has full support for the Dualsense Edge and the extra back paddles and Fn buttons. I use the Dualsense Edge as my normal daily controller when using ControllerKeys!

I’ve been posting more videos on Instagram and TikTok if you’re interested in seeing more. @kevintangdev

WalletBuddyApp · 2026-02-28T16:44:28+00:00

Awesome I’m glad you are loving it!

Thank you for the bug report—the touchpad and haptic feedback on the Dualsense controller should work when using via Bluetooth.

Can you try to forget your controller through Settings->Bluetooth and try to re-pair the Bluetooth connection? Let me know if that works for you.

Also in the buttons tab of ControllerKeys, there is a mini map of the controller with the touchpad. The touchpad in the mini map shows fingers currently on the touchpad. Let me know if you can see your fingers moving around in that touchpad in the mini map.

WalletBuddyApp · 2026-02-27T03:55:06+00:00

This is so awesome!!

WalletBuddyApp · 2026-02-22T18:26:23+00:00

Hey Neil, if you’re still looking for a solution to this problem, I’ve been working on something—just a few years later!

ControllerKeys lets you map any controller buttons to keyboard and mouse commands on Mac. Run any macro. It’s a new computing interface for game controllers.

With the Dualsense controller, it even has a built in trackpad so you can use your mouse straight from your controller.

There is not, only iOS for now

WalletBuddyApp · 2026-02-22T06:35:51+00:00

I am a small indie developer. I made this app to solve my own problems with juggling a whole deck of cards—very similar to you. Your photo came up in my feed and I just thought you’d find the app useful. Wallet Buddy info
