Hori Mini PS4 controller not recognized on OSX

[random47]

Hi,

I've bought Overcooked 2 to play with my children.
The game works fine, but the second controller ( Hori mini PS4, a Sony officially licensed 3rd party controller ) doesn't work at all. The first controller is a standard DS4 and is recognized properly.

For more data about the controller,

HORI mini wired gamepad PS4 0x0f0d 0x00ee
( vendor_id = 0x0f0d, pid = 0x00ee )

Now,
1) The controller works fine : it's properly recognized by my Mac, works fine in Steam's big picture mode, so it's not a controller issue.
2) It's a wired controller, so there are no fiddly bluetooth issues
3) I'm using both controllers wired
4) Whether the first controller ( DS4 ) is plugged or not doesn't matter - the Hori mini is not recognized.
5) My Mac runs Mojave ( 10.14.6, last patches yesterday )

For some reason, the game doesn't see it, and since I bought the game to be able to play with my children but can't, well, the game is suddenly a lot less interesting.

1. Is this a known issue ?
2. Is there a workaround ?

Cheers,
R.
