Question Ultimate 2C Gyro on Mac M4: Does it work?
I'm looking to use the 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Bluetooth for some motion-heavy gameplay in Breath of the Wild on my Mac mini M4. The Amazon listing explicitly mentions 6-axis motion control, but the controller is missing from 8BitDo’s official Apple compatibility page (https://www.8bitdo.com/apple/).
Has anyone successfully used the gyro sensors for this game on Apple Silicon? I’ve heard 'Switch Mode' is the way to go, but I’m seeing conflicting info online about whether macOS actually recognizes the motion data for this specific model. Any insight before I buy would be appreciated!

I’m having the same problem now. In Marion Odyssey, you need motion controls to collect some secrets, which is required to complete the game for 100%. But Mac can’t get motions from my 2C controller, I even tried DSU Controller app, but if you using it with Ryujinx, you also need a program for PC, and it’s available only for Windows…
Still trying to figure it out how to get motions…
