Gamecontroller setup under mac

I am using https://learn.adafruit.com/gamepad-qt with https://learn.adafruit.com/esp32-s3-reverse-tft-feather.

My goal is to let the gamepad be recognized as gamecontroller input on my Mac to play a game with it.
I have looked at the gamepad example here: https://docs.circuitpython.org/projects/hid/en/latest/examples.html#id4
and added the gamepad boiler plate code shown here: https://learn.adafruit.com/customizing-usb-devices-in-circuitpython/hid-devices#custom-hid-devices-3096614-9 to my boot.py.
This doesn't run into any errors, but also does not lead to recognition of a gamecontroller as input device under MacOS.

Has anybody tried this?

Start with the linked CircuitPython HID gamepad example and custom HID-device guide, then review the boot.py setup used with the ESP32-S3 Reverse TFT Feather. Reproduce the setup on macOS and determine why no gamecontroller input device is recognized. Done means the device is detected as a gamecontroller, or the issue documents a confirmed platform limitation.
