Pro controller swap A and B buttons
I've tried Gamepad Mapper, JoyMapper Silicone, Enjoyable and a few others and can't seem to find basic controller button remapping (swap A/B for example). The above apps are working fine to remap controller buttons with keyboard/mouse buttons on the Mac but don't seem to have options for what I'm looking for.

PS3 Emulation on the M2 Air -- Works Great so far!
That sucks! Make sure it has input privileges in your security settings. Also, not sure it could work, but I used to use JoyMapperSilicon to emulate keyboard inputs from my joy cons, maybe something similar could work for your xbox controller? Best of luck!

Melty on MacOS
That's pretty much it. Download MBACC community edition and run it with Wine or Crossover. You'll need to download JoyMapperSilicon too.

Joy Cons as Xbox controllers on macOS?
I have been trying to get Nintendo Switch Joy Cons to work with macOS. I have used JoyMapperSilicon which seems to work well, at least in the 2D games (Hollow Knight) which I've tested it in.

Joycon help
Iām using a program called JoyMapperSilicon to map the buttons on each joycon to keyboard keys, which works to make the controller operate as a single unit. I am even able to configure the controller within OpenEmu using the joycons themselves to assign each value. However, when I go to play the actual game the buttons no longer work, though the keyboard itself still does.

I've heard of https://github.com/qibinc/JoyMapperSilicon which might support this, but I'm not sure.
