Enjoyable is an application for Mac OS X which allows you to use controller inputs like a mouse or keyboard.
If you've ever played a video game which only supports mouse and keyboard input but you want to use a joystick or gamepad, then Enjoyable will help you do that.
Enjoyable supports
- Mapping gamepad and joystick buttons to keyboard and mouse actions
- Fine control over mouse movement and scrolling using analog axis inputs
- Automatic and dynamic switching between different input mappings
- Downloading and sharing input presets for different applications
- Modern OS X features like resume and automatic termination
Enjoyable is free software written by Joe Wreschnig with minor additions by Sam Deane, and is based on the Enjoy codebase written by Yifeng Huang and Sam McCall.
Added in 1.3 is support for a "centered" mode for mouse move.
In this mode, rather than nudging the mouse position left/right/up/down, tan analog input can be used to set the absolute location of the mouse as a deviation from the centre of the screen. The further the analog input is from the neutral point, the further away from the centre of the screen the mouse gets placed.
This is intended to be a better solution for games such as Elite: Dangerous which can map the mouse to yaw/roll/pitch, and where it's valuable to be able to have the mouse snap back to a central point when the input is released.
To start, just press a button on your joystick or gamepad, then press
the key you want to map it for. Then press the ▶ button and switch
back to your game. For more details, Enjoyable has a in-application
manual available in Help Viewer via ⌘?.
- Mac OS X 10.7+
- One or more HID-compatible (e.g. USB or Bluetooth) input devices
