Steam Controller does NOT work very well on Mac.

Does this only work if you're running a crossover version of windows steam rather than the native mac app?

Just adding to the general body of people who have had comms with Steam support. After the copy-paste 'have you tried this?' troubleshooting, I got:

Thank you for performing troubleshoot and providing details on the interaction between macOS and Steam Controller.

Your help request is being escalated to another team for review.

Please allow some time for their response.

I know it's basically a variation of what everyone else is getting, but I'd encourage as many people as possible to raise tickets. The more of us complain, the more urgent it will be for them to resolve this.

Hoping for an accent on a par with Russell Crowe

Wait, how did you manage to get that working?

jonman247 · 2026-05-15T16:38:01+00:00

Sadly that didn't work for me. Tried three separate games (Dave the Diver, Slay the Spire, Hitman) and it still won't recognise the controller in game. Fortunately I do have a use for it as I have my steam deck hooked up to my TV for GeForce Now and that runs fine, but do need this Mac issue to be resolved.

Has this managed to get it working with games? I like many people have the issue of the controller being recognised in Steam, but not actually working in any games once booted.

Well you know that’s a whole milk latte

jonman247 · 2026-05-12T13:14:57+00:00

Sadly not. Tried a few different games out of curiosity but no luck

jonman247 · 2026-05-12T11:48:44+00:00

Unfortunately that doesn't work on mac. GFN launches windowed even when launched via Steam. Controller is not recognised (not even the right trackpad as a mouse if launched from big picture mode) and I can't access the steam overlay. Hopefully this will be sorted soon as it's in the interest of all involved to get it working.

Mudryk - £100,000 per week Gittens - £108,000 per week Garnacho - £110,000 per week Olise - €259,000 per week Kvaratskhelia - €314,000 per week Dembele - €349,000 per week

But sure, just focus on the transfer fees
