How do I set up a game controller on my iMac

I have plugged my new Logitech Rumble Gamepad F510 into a USB port. When I look at it in system profiler it is being recognized but under current required there is a message

Unknown (Device has not been configured)

Anyone know how I configure ?

Thanks

Hi, Richard -

If the gamepad came with any software suitable for use with your OS version, install and use that.

Otherwise, consider using USBOverdrive -

Thanks Don, the product was marked as for Mac in the store but only comes with PC software. Having done some searches it looks as if it should be recognized by the OS and that there are standard controller drivers that should work. However it has not happened automatically I can't see how to do that manually. I'll take a look at the USB overdrive but I was a bit nervous about the comments regarding Magic Mouse.

Thanks

Richard
