Report: State of controller support with Apple Silicon (Cannot get bluetooth mapping working)

Hardware: Apple Macbook Air M1

OS: Big Sur 11.6 (20G165)

7 Days to Die Steam Build ID: 7108523

Firstly Steam emulation is a failure. I hard disabled Steam's controller emulation for all games. This is a known issue.

I will put Firewatch, another Unity game, side-by-side.

XBOX Carbon Controller (Controller released with Series X) connected via bluetooth:

- Firewatch: Could not get good mapping to the Series X controller.

- 7DTD: I could successfully skip the "Fun Pimps" splash screen using a few different buttons, but got nothing within menu or game, regardless of controller profile selected in 7DTD menu.

8BitDo Pro 2 via Bluetooth using DS4 configuration (8BitDo Pro 2 lets you masquerade as a PS4 controller):

- Firewatch: Everything works perfectly

- 7DTD: Same as XBOX. Nothing beyond the initial splash screen.

8BitDo Pro 2 via USB-C:

- Firewatch: Everything works perfectly.

- 7DTD: Everything works perfectly without any setup.
