#Game controller for macbook pro how to#
Read on to learn how to connect your PS5 DualSense controller with a Mac, whether it's an M1 Apple Silicon model or earlier.
In fact, this beastly controller pairs with your Mac quite easily. (GameVice even tried, unsuccessfully, to sue Nintendo for violating patents on the Android-based Wikipad.)Īn advantage of the GameSir is that you can potentially find a case that fits into the controller, while the Backbone doesn't seem to fit around a case. The PS5 DualSense controller works best with the PS5 console, but you can also use it to enjoy games on your Mac. The Backbone also has a headphone jack, like the older GameVice controller for iPhone. Then would make a bit more sense as a subscription service because you'd be getting access to a bunch of Xbox games, and you could use your Xbox gamertag, etc. Maybe Microsoft will acquire Backbone and merge it into Xbox Game Pass or something. If you want an external monitor for gaming on your MacBook Pro, the Razer Raptor 27 is an excellent choice because its 27-inch display looks great and can achieve refresh rates of up. They basically damaged a good controller by locking some of its functions behind a subscription, but there is no way I'm going to pay a monthly subscription fee to use a piece of hardware that I supposedly purchased.
I like the design of the Backbone One hardware, but I hate how its companion app tries to rope you into a subscription to their Backbone+ service, and I hate the text spam that Backbone sends you.
As Winstoner71 noted, the Backbone one is another popular side-mounted controller option for the iPhone that turns it into a pseudo-Switch.
