You could swap the mappings on the original switch, this is just a more convenient toggle.
If I wanted to pay $450 and play with Xbox layout I’d buy an xbox
Does it also swap X and Y? It’d be odd if it didn’t.
What about X and Y?
The physical buttons still not being labeled as such still plays mind games with me. Whenever I use a switch/PS controller on PC and the game only has Xbox icons, I stroke out.
Can use an Xbox controller with Xbox icons normally. Slap a different controller in my hands, it doesnt matter what the screen says. Brain melts.

I still prefer Nintendo’s layout but holy shit that such a cool feature
I grew up with the Nintendo layout and still I have to remember which button is where when I’m playing the Switch. I bought one a few weeks after release but whenever pick up the Switch after using my Xbox controller I completely short circuit even after an hour of playing sometimes
People rejoice, this not new feature is here for you!
I demand the UN solve this once and for all and make the “confirm” button and “cancel” button the same default across all consoles. Or the EU.
I don’t care which they pick but I’m tired of the cross platform strife.
I realized I’m in the minority and like the “western style” where the bottom button is confirm and the right button is cancel. I mess around with handheld emulator machines (Retroid, Anbernic, etc.) and put them together for buddies who want one. I am the ONLY one who prefers that style, everyone else asked me to switch it to the Japan style with bottom as cancel and right as confirm.
I don’t know that I like that it totally remaps the control though. I’d rather it just remap which confirms and which cancels without changing the remap for games.
I’d prefer this option on xbox/ps
I had to remap every time I played switchz
Unless it also swaps X and Y this is just going to be more confusing lol
PC player here, do games attach consistent meaning to “the A button” regardless of where it happens to be on the controller, rather than attaching consistent meaning to a button position regardless of what it is labelled on the given console? If not, I don’t get the purpose of this. If yes, that’s freaking weird.
I hope they add this to steam 💀
Does it also switch x and y?
The original switch’s key change is directly mapped, and when you enter the game, you will find that the key positions you are familiar with are all messed up. This new change will only change the display of confirmation and cancellation, that is, you can use B to confirm A to return, but when you enter the game, the key positions remain unchanged, which will not interfere with the game
YES FINALLY.
Now put the X and Y on their respective axes where they ought to be!
Incredible, sure makes the $500 more acceptable in hindsight
What did it cost? Everything. AKA $650
Oh my sweet fuck yes.
So you can have it say A and be B instead? That would confuse me more than reacclimating myself to the controller every time.
oohhh ahhh so innovative. ⚰️
Is this system wide for all the games or only for the UI?
But I was a playstation boy when I was a young lad so I have those symbols ingrained into brain ☹️
It just feels wrong on a Nintendo console lol
