After we reported on Steam's new Big Picture beta coming to the Mac, we got a reader question that I figured it'd be good to write a tip on. Playing games. Originally posted by:if you read the tiny print on the bottom of the Steam controller box it says 'Requires a computer (minimum Windows 7, Mac OS 10.10 or Steam OS)' Update to at least Mac OS X Yosemite and it will work with Portal 2. The software must still be in development becausePortal 2 and only Portal 2 will work for mac right now. I just tested Portal 2 with Mavericks and it works, so an immediate update does not seem necessary. Lol cos you dont have a problem it doesnt mean anybody else dont have any problem! I have OS X 10.9.5 on a late 2013 macbook pro, Processor 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7; Memory 16 GB, Graphics Intel Iris Pro 1536. Immediately upon using the controller I did a firmware update and I'm running the steam bata build. Portal 2 works but there is some serious lag when using the controller. If I use the keyboard and a bluetooth mouse there is barely any. With the controller - If I hold down the right track pad (the 'camera' button) then I lose a lot of the lag when looking around, but I didn't expect to have to physically turn in a 360 circle to play game. Is it possible to just spin with the stick? I also fired up Borderlands 2. Initially it didn't work at all, but there were some controller maps that could be downloaded and a few of them did allow me to either shoot or look around but nothing else. Clearly someone needs to really map out the settings. (BTW it plays with zero lag with the mouse and keyboard). I've only had this controller for under 2 hours, but I can't say that it really acts like a finished product. I feel more like a beta tester than just an early adopter. Clearly the potential is there to map out most any game, but I didn't think I was buying a programable controller that I would have to configure for most of my games. My expectation was they would do the work to have it work when they shipped it. At least map out point, run, and shoot, for several games. But, maybe they have and I don't have those games. Rocket League doesn't run on the Mac. That the game doesn't run on the Mac isn't necessarily Steam's fault, that they chose to include it as 50% of the 'free games' they included with the controller clearly is. Of course one free game is better than no free game, but given it's $19.95 retail value that could be seen as a $19.95 Mac surcharge. While the Mac platform has not been noted for catering to hard-core gamers, there are still many popular gaming titles and gaming accessories available for the Mac OS. If you own a Mac and have a few games you would like to try, then you might also be interested in getting a gaming controller or two up and running with your system. While the Mac's keyboard and mouse ought to be enough for most purposes, having a dedicated gaming controller can give you the feel of playing with a gaming console. Printer driver for mac.
