Joystick Mapper
Joystick Mapper is a utility that allows Mac users to remap joystick and gamepad inputs to keyboard keys, mouse movements, mouse clicks, and mouse scroll events. This enables you to use any macOS-compatible game controller to control applications and games that don't natively support gamepad input. The app runs quietly in the menu bar and is useful for gamers, accessibility users, and anyone who wants to extend gamepad functionality beyond games that have built-in controller support.
Suggested Replacements
1 suggestionJoystick Mapper (version 1.2) does not appear to have received a native Apple Silicon update from its developer. The app is available on the Mac App Store, but there is no evidence of active maintenance or a universal binary release. Since this app appears to be abandoned or unmaintained, we recommend switching to **Enjoyable**, a modern, actively maintained open-source alternative with full native Apple Silicon support and universal binaries. Enjoyable provides the same core functionality—mapping game controllers to keyboard and mouse input—with a cleaner interface and ongoing development. You can find Enjoyable Silicon (the Apple Silicon native version) on GitHub. The main trade-off is moving from a commercial app to an open-source solution, but Enjoyable is well-maintained and purpose-built for modern macOS.
