I’ve been asked my opinion on the Best Mac Game Controller recently many times, so this weekend I tried a bunch of Mac game controllers out. Even though you may have heard otherwise, the XBox 360 controllers and the off brand versions don’t work consistently.
After trying 5 Mac game controllers, the best for the Mac is the PS3 Dualshock 3 Wireless. It connects effortlessly with the help of the Gamepad Companion 2.4, which you can download here for free. The only other thing you need is a USB 2.0 A to Mini-B Cable for charging you controller. Everything else you need to do is covered in the video below.
