Establishing a wireless or wired connection between an 8BitDo controller and a macOS device enables enhanced gaming experiences. This process facilitates the use of a dedicated gamepad for playing games or controlling other applications that support controller input on a Mac computer.
The ability to utilize a dedicated controller offers improved ergonomics and precision compared to using a keyboard and mouse, particularly in genres like platformers, fighting games, and racing games. This setup provides access to a wider range of compatible titles on macOS, including those originally designed for console systems.
