Over ten years ago, I wrote a short article on Medium about game controllers in Lightroom. Back then, it wasn’t that easy on macOS. You needed special drivers for various controllers. Fortunately, that has changed completely. There is now extensive native support. What remains is the remapping of controller buttons. The Joystick Mapper app is practically obsolete and has been discontinued. Its UI and stability leave a lot to be desired.

Fortunately, there is now Recontrol by Dan (https://github.com/danneu). Download: https://recontrol.danneu.com

I’ve updated my short article on this:

And I haven’t used Lightroom for years either. Just by the way.
