What you need to know
- Controlly is an app that lets you use your game controller as a mouse on your Mac.
Controlling your Mac using a game controller might not be something you knew that you wanted to do. But you really do actually want to do it. And thanks to a new app called Controlly, that's exactly what you can do.
Compatible with any game controller that you can connect to your Mac, Controlly allows you to move the mouse cursor and scroll through webpages using your controller, all without being tethered to your desk. This could be a great way to control a Mac mini that's under your TV, for example.
Features currently include:
Mouse Actions
- Primary Click
- Secondary Click
- Look Up
- Smart Zoom
Playback Controls
- Play/Pause
- Skip Forward
- Skip Back

System Conveniences

- Launchpad
- Show Desktop
- Next/Previous Desktop
- Mirror Displays
Thumbstick Actions
- Move Pointer
- Scroll
Sounds pretty great, right? If you can do it with a mouse, you can do it with your controller.
You can download Controlly from the Mac App Store right now for free. If you want to use the app beyond the 7-day trial you can for just $3.99.
