[QUOTE="khcrazy10, post: 1527529, member: 299537"] For those who want to use the ps3 controller with steam, note that there is not native support in a lot of steamplay games for apple. In recent versions of OS X the drivers are built in (so you can use it via USB with no problems... altho I warn that the bluetooth will pretty much spam you with pairing requests when you unplug it... the controller will likely not pair either). But yeah... if you're looking for the best game compatibility I'd suggest a 360 controller and the OSX driver from [url=http://tattiebogle.net/index.php/ProjectRoot/Xbox360Controller/OsxDriver]Tattiebogle.net - Mac OS X driver[/url] Most games are designed for the 360 controller at this point in time, so it'll offer the best compatibility. Note: I have not tried games from the Mac App Store. It's possible it MIGHT work since the driver is built into OSX, but there are no guarantees as it is ultimately up to the developer of the game to provide support for certain brands of controllers.
