Hi all,

Is there a single best, most compatible controller for Mac OS gaming? I have access to the Bluetooth Xbox One controller, Dualshock 4 and Logitech F710. Which one would have the highest compatibility? Or do you have to use a different one for different games?

Thanks,
Mario
 
Logitech F710: has a switch that toggles between normal USB mode, and XInput mode for those idiotic "Xbox controller only" games. Most games just work with the standard setting without having to do anything (at least if they support gamepads in the first place). For XInput mode, you need to install drivers.

The Dualshock 4 is my go to controller. Works over bluetooth, as well as wired. And since it is dinput, most mac games will work right out of the box with it.
