Macbook pro Steelseries Nimbus Wireless controller not connecting to game

Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong - the controller is paired to my mac successfully but the game (batman) is not seeing it. how do I get it to work?

Same issue here with Tomb Raider. I've been a WASD guy for years but decided to try a controller for once. Not going too great so far. I don't know if we need to wait for Steam to support Bluetooth controllers, or if we need to wait for Steelseries to add support for their Nimbus on Engine 3. Either way, the controller seems useless on Steam right now. Might be worth trying Joystick Mapper on the App Store as well...

Use ControllerMate (http://www.orderedbytes.com/controllermate/) to configure the Nimbus GamePad on your Mac, it's a very powerful application. You can map all the buttons by Games. I made a configuration who stop somes apps when the Nimbus is connected, and for Tomb Raider or Batman I made a special configuration for each games. It is a little labourious to configure all the games but its works great!

Awesome, thanks!! 😀 I was planning on using Joystick Mapper, but they don't have support for the D-pad or hat buttons quite yet...
