To connect your PS5 controller to your MacBook for Steam games like Overcooked 2, follow these steps:

1. **Connect via Bluetooth (Wireless)**:
- Turn on your PS5 controller by holding the **PS button** and **Create button** (left of the touchpad) simultaneously until the light bar starts blinking.
- On your MacBook, go to **System Preferences > Bluetooth** and make sure Bluetooth is turned on.
- You should see the **“DualSense Wireless Controller”** appear in the Bluetooth devices list. Click on it to connect.
- Once connected, the controller should work in Steam. If Steam doesn't automatically recognize it, try restarting Steam.

2. **Connect via USB (Wired)**:
- Simply connect the PS5 controller to your MacBook using a USB-C cable.
- Steam should automatically detect the controller once connected. You may need to go into **Steam Settings > Controller** and configure it if it doesn't work immediately.

3. **Enable Steam Input**:
- In **Steam**, go to **Steam > Settings > Controller > General Controller Settings**.
- Make sure **PlayStation Configuration Support** is checked. This allows Steam to recognize the PS5 controller.
- After enabling, restart Steam, and the controller should work fine with most games, including Overcooked 2.

If these steps don’t work, ensure that Steam is up to date, as they continuously update controller support. If you found this helpful, I'd appreciate your support!
