Controllers and Gamepad compatibility

In S-ARGAME you can use our Mobile Controller in every game, but if you prefer a more natural control you need to have physical compatible gamepads connected to the PC/Mac.

On Windows:

• XBox controllers are the best for Windows, you can use wireless ones and connect up to 8 wirelessly with the Microsoft Adapter (Amazon link) (please double check these dongles are Microsoft genuine)
• We use EasySMX wireless PC compatible gamepads all the time, choose the ones that are reported as PC compatible.
  
  

On Macintosh:

• Macintosh users should refer to these guides for controller support:
  • Unity supported controllers 
  • Apple Controller Guide.
• There is a known issue for XBox compatible controllers, that are recognized as keyboards on some MacOS versions, therefore cannot be used as gamepads.
  Here is a forum thread about that, and a possible workarounds is the following:
  
  XBox on Macintosh not regognized - possible workaround
  This is probably due to macOS’s Input Monitoring privacy feature being incompatible with gamepads that also report themselves as a keyboard (such as the Xbox Elite Controller).
  This is not a Unity issue, but an issue stemming from how macOS decides if a device should be covered by Input Monitoring.
  
  If this applies to your controller, you can workaround this by:
  • Navigateto the Input Monitoring tab in System Preferences
  • Allow S-ARGAME Packages (Starterpack or other installed ones) to monitor keyboard input.
  • Accepting the prompt and relaunch the S-ARGAME Editor and applications
