ControllerMate

ControllerMate is a super handy macOS app that lets you customize buttons, hat switches, and axes on your HID devices. With this tool, you can set up mouse clicks, keyboard actions, or even Finder commands just the way you want them.

Custom Actions Made Easy

This app lets you create all kinds of actions using over 70 different building blocks. You can mix and match to make complex setups that fit your needs perfectly.

Direct Control with Building Blocks

Some of these building blocks react directly to your device controls. Others are made to trigger actions like using ControllerMate’s virtual mouse or keyboard, running AppleScripts, launching apps, or opening files. It gives you so much flexibility!

Personalize Your Devices

One of the coolest things about ControllerMate is that it allows you to reconfigure drivers and tweak how your mouse or keyboard behaves. You can enable or disable buttons or even change what they do altogether!

MIDI Messages for More Control

You can also use MIDI messages with ControllerMate! This means you can trigger actions just like you would with a joystick, mouse, or keyboard. Plus, if you're into MIDI sources, you've got options to send those messages easily.

Create Virtual Devices

If you're a bit more experienced, you can create virtual tablets, mice, or joystick devices controlled by ControllerMate programming. Most applications will recognize these as real devices! This opens up tons of possibilities for controlling your setup in creative ways.

Background Helper for Convenience

The built-in helper runs quietly in the background and keeps an eye on attached controllers. This means once you've set everything up in ControllerMate, you can quit the app and let the background helper take care of things!
