According to the MacRumors report, during the beta version of macOS Big Sur 11.3, Apple has been perfecting and improving the way the iPad and iPhone App run on the M1 Mac. In the latest beta version, Apple has added a game controller simulation function to the M1 device, allowing the keyboard or a combination of keyboard and mouse to be used as a game controller.
When running an iPhone or iPad app, opening the preferences will show a touch alternative and game control interface, which can be used to make touch-based iPhone and iPad apps run better under Mac control.
After checking “controller simulation”, common game controller buttons will be mapped to keyboard keys and mouse keys. For example, X is mapped to Q, the direction stick is mapped to WASD, and Y is mapped to E. L1 and L2 can be accessed by pressing the Tab and Shift keys, respectively, while the space bar is the A key.

Controller Emulation allows iPhone and iPad games with built-in controller support to be played on the M1 Mac with the keyboard and/or mouse to accurately control these games. This feature is designed for those who don’t have a game controller because if there is a controller, you can play by simply connecting the controller.
The macOS Big Sur 11.3 beta also includes the touch replacement panel mentioned above, which is used to map touch-based functions such as clicking, sliding, dragging, and tilting to the keyboard keys. It also has a feature that allows iPhone and iPad application windows to change.
The controller emulation and touch substitution functions work independently of each other, and only one of them can be enabled at a time. In terms of game controller support, many Sony and Microsoft controllers are currently compatible with M1 Mac, and the beta version adds support for the latest PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X controllers.
