Controlly 4+

Doesn't work on Current MacOS Monterey

Hopefully it's updated to work with the new MacOS, but as of yet it's not working. ;? I'm leaving 3 Stars because it's gorgeous and Looks like it'll be a good app if / when it's updated for the new MacOS.

Great app for folks with RSI

Works pretty well after some quick mapping configuration! I've got RSI (finger and had pain), so rely on using a controller as an alternative to mouse and keyboard.

After ControllerMate went the way of the dodo (support dropped as far back as Catalina), I was looking for an alternative. Although this is not as powerful as CM, it gets you most of the way there if your use case is simply to control your computer w/a gamepad instead of a mouse and keyboard. It obviously won't replace an entire keyboard, but can help you map most things you might need so that you can meter your usage of the keyboard.

The one thing that doesn't work quite well is that the left click and drag appears to not work well in some webapps. As if it's clicking first before dragging. Whatever the case, it appears to not work identically to a mouse, which makes Controlly less useful as a mouse replacement.

Also, a suggestion/feature request for developer: Please add "backspace" to list of keys to optionally recognize alongside Return and Esc. This would help me immensely. Thank you!

Developer Response ,

Thanks a lot for the review and feedback.

Very Basic Customization, But Very Functional

Doesn't offer very much in terms of options, was hoping for a gyroscopic cursor control option or being able to set different sensitivities for the left/right stick. A shortcut which modifies cursor speed would've also been useful. it's a harsh compromise between being able to navigate to smaller buttons and your cursor moving faster than a snails pace. Also, the input from the joystick doubles up moving diagonally, resulting in an uneven cursor speed. Still, this is the only app for this I found and it works without any fuss with my non-standard controller.
