In some cases youll be OK using a keyboard and mouse, but for a lot of people, kicking back and using a controller is the way to game.

And when its up and running youll have one of the best controller experiences on any platform right there for your Mac games.

The Xbox One controller isnt all that expensive and has an offset design for its thumbsticks which many find much more comfortable than Sonys side-by-side arrangement.

The standard black controller is around 45, but there are a ton of special edition designs out there for various prices that might be more to your liking.

Its a very different design but equally proficient in its own right for Mac gaming.

Again, its not exactly plug and play, but the process of making sure its working properly is very simple.

The DualShock 4 is very comfortable in the hand with great triggers and bumpers, albeit both a little smaller than on something like an Xbox controller.

Its lightweight so its great for long gaming sessions, and Sony also has an official adapter to allow you to use it with your Mac wirelessly, though they can be hard to find.

But for around 50, this is another great controller and it works perfectly with Steam.

If this is where you get most of your games from, them the official Steam Controller might be the one for you, and it has full, official Mac support.

Its a bit unusual compared to many controllers, thanks in no small part to the touchpad which you find where you might expect one of the analog sticks.

The Steam Controller has been designed so you can play keyboard and mouse games comfortably with a controller.

Theres a bit of a learning curve, but when you get used to it its just as easy to use as any other controller.

It sells for 50 but Valve is frequently discounting it, so theres always a chance of a bargain if you can wait until the next sale.
