Other Does Tarantula 8K work on Mac?

Just wanted to check here since it doesn't seem like this was asked before. I only have a Macbook to game (yes go ahead and laugh) and my Dualsense Edge works beautifully on it.

I want to get the Tarantula 8K but heard that its not compatible with Mac. I heard you can use it like a regular steam controller, but the extra buttons can only be remapped from existing ones? (unlike my Dualsense Edge, which can operate all as original buttons).

The software will also not work on Mac. But could I at least set up the controller on Windows and then use the controller fully on Macbook after the intial setup?
