MacOS Steam Input (steam controller) not working in game

[Caver01]

My steam controller works fine paired via dongle, or direct via BT. Steam recognizes it fine, can navigate in big picture mode etc, overlay works even when invoked using steam button in Stray, but Stray itself is ignoring inputs. I cannot move the menu, no cursor, and if I touch the mouse, the A,B controller input prompts in lower-right switch to mouse input, ESC key etc.

What gives? I want to play this game using my Steam Controller on the mac. Seems like it should be a no-brainer given the controller is recognized by steam. I can even load layout templates and perform controller tests, setting tweaks, but the game. . . Anyone else able to make a Steam Controller work in Stray on Mac?

I should add this is on a M1 Mac Mini, and the game launches fine, gameplay is good with graphics settings adjusted, so no issue actually playing (with mouse and keyboard of course).

Did you find a solution?

What worked for me - after hours of troubleshooting - was:
- Launch Stray in windowed mode (change it in the in-game settings)
- Turn on controller only AFTER launching

Depending on the controller, you might have to disable steam controller input beforehand
