Enjoyable is an application for macOS (formerly Mac OS X) which allows you to use gaming controller/gamepad inputs for sending commands as if you were using your mouse or keyboard.
If you have ever played a game which only supports mouse and keyboard input, but you wanted to use a joystick or gamepad, then Enjoyable will definitely help you to do that. This effectively means that even virtual machines, emulators or WINE can benefit from it.
Enjoyable currently supports:
- Mapping gamepad and joystick buttons to keyboard and mouse actions.
- Fine control over mouse movement and scrolling using analog axis inputs.
- Automatic and dynamic switching between different input mappings.
- Downloading and sharing input presets for different applications.
- Modern OS X features like resume and automatic termination.
To start, just press a button on your joystick or gamepad, then press
the key you want to map it for. Then press the [▶] button and switch
back to your game. For more details, Enjoyable has a in-application
manual available in Help Viewer via ⌘?.
- Mac OS X 10.7+.
- One or more HID-compatible (e.g. USB or Bluetooth) input devices.
Enjoyable is free software written by Joe Wreschnig and is based on the Enjoy codebase written by Yifeng Huang and Sam McCall. Further changes and improvements made now by Marcelo Novaes.
