Joystick Doctor For Mac

Playing games with a gamepad controller can be more realistic that going for the old mouse and keyboard combo. Joystick Doctor provides instructions on how to connect various types of controllers to your Mac and provides extensive details about their full layout.

Within the Joystick Doctor main window, you get to see the list of available gamepad controllers and navigate to the testing area. However, if a certain controller is not included in the list, you can switch to the Troubleshoot panel and see what you can do about it.

Joystick Doctor provides connection instructions for Xbox, Playstation, Logitech, Wii, and other controllers. Depending on the controller model, you might have to download third party drivers, or learn what steps you need to follow to connect via Bluetooth.

Moreover, Joystick Doctor helps you find out what games can be played using a controller. The developers also collect details about issues encountered when gaming with controllers and can be contacted to discuss specific questions.

The Joystick Doctor testing area offers you the possibility to see all the controller buttons that are detected by your computer and enables you to probe their performance at the same time.

Just press any of the controller’s buttons and you will be able to verify the effect in the Joystick Doctor main window. The app also provides details about the sticks movements and their progress on the XY axes.

Joystick Doctor can help you understand the steps you need to follow to connect a certain type of gamepads with your Mac and be able to play various games using a controller.

The Joystick Doctor app includes troubleshooting tips, and can also verify if the controller’s buttons work correctly. However, the utility does not bring to the table mapping capabilities.
