If your game doesn't support HID Manager, then you'll need a program like Carvware's Gamepad Companion or USB Overdrive in order to map the buttons, hatswitch, or analog sticks to keystrokes. Unfortunately, if you shut your Mac down at night like I do, you'll have to go through the same steps to reattach the F710 to the Mac.
A cheaper and simpler alternative is GamePad Companion, available at the Mac App Store. Updated on Feb 20, 2012 This software is just a step above coding with the console. GamePad Companion allows you to use HID compatible devices (gamepads, joysticks, etc.) with Mac OS X.This means that you can use many of the joysticks and gamepads that haven’t had their drivers updated for Mac OS X! It should be possible to simultaneously use up to 5 HID devices with GamePad Companion.

Game Controller For Mac
I just bought a gamepad for use with COD2 and installed Gamepad Companion to use it.
However, the controls I set to the mouse's X and Y axis are almost completely useless.
When using a mouse, you can continuously slide it upward and (in a shooter game) the character will continuously look in that direction. With Gampad Companion, when I move the gamepad stick upward it takes it as one press of the button and the character looks in jerks so that I have to keep tapping it, as if I was moving the mouse one small increment at a time.
When using a control stick in a first person shooter, it is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE to have to keep tapping in the direction of your x and y axis' while in the heat of battle.
Does anyone know a way around this (such as downloading the full version of Gamepad Companion) or am I just going to have to ask for my money back?
