I don’t have a Mac but I do run into the same issue with my Steam Deck while it’s docked. I have a Xbox controller and a controller from Logitech.
While the game is running, are you able to open up Steam’s controller settings? You might need to enable developer mode.
In the controller settings are you able to see something in the upper center-right about changing controller order?
In there just simply mess around with the controller order, might have to try various combos of controller order. That usually helps get the game to see the controller.
Sorry for the late reply. It’s been a long time since I played Steam on an actual computer so I’m not finding where the developer settings I mentioned earlier are located.
Edit: You mentioned trying two different controllers. Have you tried to have both plugged in at the same time so that the game can see both?
While you have the game running, are you able to open the Steam Overlay? In the overlay, click on the controller icon![](https://lemmy.zip/pictrs/image/98163902-b2d5-4ce9-9a2b-2ee71bad7ceb.webp)
In the settings here, do you have an option to reorder controllers on the right side of the screen?![](https://lemmy.zip/pictrs/image/315f3fa3-c7ba-40b5-bcc0-14fc61f556fe.webp)
If you see that button, click on it and mess around with the controller order and see if it’ll make the game see the controller now.![](https://lemmy.zip/pictrs/image/ea1e4c4b-22a5-4aec-a9a2-8560fe4168ea.webp)
