Game not detecting controller (Mac)

This seems to be a common issue, but Celeste isn't detecting my controller - it works fine for other games, but for this one, when I go into controller settings, it just says to plug one in.  It isn't responding to any buttons either.  I've looked through all the other controller help threads, tried adding it as a non-steam game, Steam Big Picture (that won't detect controller either), etc. but none of it works.  My computer is an M1 Mac mini (Monterey) and my controller is a SteelSeries Nimbus+ (wireless/Bluetooth).  With both Steam and Celeste not detecting it, it might just be something with the controller, but I'm not sure.  Any ideas to fix it?  I have been doing decently so far with just the keyboard, but it would be nice to be able to play with controller. 

Hey, have you tried forcing global controller settings from steam big picture? I was having a similar issue and it only resolved after I changed that setting. That said, I'm on Windows 11 using a PS4 controller, so idk if you'll have much luck.

Yeah I tried that, it wouldn't work.  I've finished the game now though, so it's not a big deal anymore.  I might try buying it on Steam someday when it goes on sale  and see if I can get it to work then.
