Mac with a controller

I just began playing TF2 on my mac, but playing with a keyboard is awkward, so Im in the market for a controller.
Does anyone know if it is possible to configure the mac to play wit a controller?

Thanks.

They have a gamepad link which send you to:

Also found this application that looks like it takes Keyboards, Mice, Gamepads, etc.. and allows them to work on the Mac, even though they originally are not compatible.

I'm sure there are more Mac OS X compatible game pads, just gotta do the searching :/

Technically, any USB controller should work with Mac OS X. Where you would find issue is Force Feedback. Try looking at Logitech's stock: there is a Force Feedback driver pre-installed.

As for game controllers and Source games: I don't think they are natively supported yet.

I would be very happy if I could connect my xbox 360 USB controller to the mac, But I've tried it and it doesnt work. So I need to buy a different one.

if you have a ps3 you can use the ps3 remote through bluetooth and use controllermate to configure it all. theres tons of vids on youtube, its pretty cool

If you don't learn to use a keyboard and mouse on FPS shooters on the Mac/PC platform, you will get PWN'd. I understand it's an awkward switch coming from consoles, but trust me you need to learn how to use the keyboard and mouse for shooters. There are plenty of other games that do better without the M/KB (All Racing Games, GTA, Batman), and you won't be at a disadvantage. Honestly, if the CS:S people find out you are playing with a controller, it's game over.

A normal Logitech controller with dual joysticks does me more than enough. Try it.

I've been doing something similar with the Wii remote and OSCulator. Good times.

Valve as of yet has no plans to add gamepad support for Source: Mac. You will have to add the functionality yourself, such as through tool like ControllerMate.

Learn to use mouse and keyboard.
I'll never go back to consoles for first person shooting.
(save for Bioshock)

Let the man do what he wants with his computer.

I'm using that piece of software to make a PS2 dual-shock work with my Mac. Using a usb->PS2 controller dongle to connect the joypad. Works fine with emulators (been playing Final Fantasy VII in a Snes emulator with it). Don't know if it would ever work with Steam though, if they introduced support for gamepads?
