Help using a controller to play AM2R on Mac

Because it's annoying.

It is though. I cannot reliably download a game and just have it work every time. It may not be the controller every time, but it's almost always something. Almost always something that has to be googled or tweaked.

It's the game. I've already said this. I know where the problem is. All of AM2R reddit does. It's not a shitty OS and it's not bad luck. It's the game. I just want to solve it.

We're getting off topic. Please help me solve it instead of being sensitive about a harmless comment.

It's not about being sensitive though. I genuinely don't understand how you're having a problem. You just said the entire subreddit knew the problem ... so why don't they know the answer??? We don't even know the problem and you're asking us to solve it. Like i'm not trying to be rude, I don't get the problem. Maybe the game is just not compatible with controllers right now??? Is there any proof that the developer made the game around controllers?

If I knew why they don't know the answer, clearly I wouldn't be here. There are a bunch of reddit threads asking the same question, but with varying solutions, most of which are WINDOWS solutions using WINDOWS programs. I know for a fact there are people playing this game on mac with a controller, so there is obviously a solution.

Update though - My Switch Pro Controller randomly started working for it. After a bit of fumbling, I finally got it to work 90%. One bbig problem though - the dpad won't work. At first I thought this was another glitch, but I genuinely don't think there is dpad support natively for this game, meaning I have to go back to the controller driver solution because the game is borderline unplayable for me with the analog stick.

I'm going to keep fooling around with "Enjoyable" and try to mock a keyboard, as it seems to be the best way to do this.
