I am a new gamer, and I am looking for an easier way to play Super Mario Bros other than with the key board. I have a website with all the games I want to play but I cannot work the keyboard controls fast enough, is there a controller that is Mac compatible that would be best for me?

Check out the Logitech Gamepad site. The controllers and gamepads they have there are for both Windows and OS X. Make sure you buy the Mac version. Here is the LINK.

Are you using an emulator? If so, just go on eBay and grab a USB SNES or NES controller. I use a SNES one and it works perfectly. The start/select buttons are even rubber like the original!

It's not for the Mac or iOS devices. It only supports Windows and Android devices.

It does support IOS, as there is an apple icon next to the Android icon. Also apps for the Mac that help set up controllers, only seem to recognize the Gamesir G3 when it is set to the IOS setting, but not the Xbox/Pc setting (an X icon). Even the Manual describes how to set it up to work with IOS.

Yes it does show it supports iOS, however, it states iOS 5.0 and Android 4. The current version of iOS is 10.0.2. Are you sure it supports the latest version?

I do not use the controller for IOS, I was just pointing out that apps for controllers on OS X only pick the controller up when it is set to the IOS setting.
