I forget if I ever shared this thing I made back in the day.
My mom plays PS1 games on RetroArch with an El Cheapo Bluetooth gamepad that has the Xbox layout. I have to explain the controls to her every time "Press X" or some such comes on the screen

Xkey on the keyboard which in the default mappings send the B button input.It has caused lots of confusion

Steam Deck buttons are Xbox layout.
Better than the old days of "Press 3," or worse- having to map keys to joystick buttons in the config of everything
But SteamOS (UI) itself lets you configure it. It even has controller-agnostic button prompts, kind of similar to Breath of the Wild's where it shows you each button and highlights the one you should press. If I was at home, I'd share a picture of it.

Never mind that abxy business what the hell happened to Start and Select!?
I know those buttons no longer do what theyre named after, but neither does rewinding a video or hanging up a phone.
Rip. Killed for a "sHaRe BuTtOn"

Well let's kill nintendo then
Most reasonable proposal tbh.

R and L need to be swapped. Right is on the left side and Left is on the right side!
The idea is to make fun of actual mistakes you could make due to the different button layouts and names. I legit get RT and RB backwards because "Right Top / Right Bottom" makes more sense to my playstation brain than "Right Trigger / Right Bumper"; to me they're both triggers, just one is analogue and one isn't. Plus the position of X being in a different spot on 3 contemporary consoles.
I've never confused left and right at least, thankfully!

I think some people needed a /s for my comment lol.
I was thinking it would be fun to enrage people some more by labeling the left and right based on the picture and not the controller

Ahaha, not bad actually

Sony (via PS5) also finally standardized X Accept and O Back globally. It was backwards in Japan because X meant No and O meant Yes.
Originally, O was meant to be accept, and X was meant to be discard/etc., but this Japanese cultural artifact got lost in translation.

I find myself having to use my Switch pro controller when playing Wii U games on PC, because if I use my Xbox controller I get fucked up on button locations. But somehow holding the slightly different controller shape and button size makes my muscle memory switch for it cleanly.
You know you can remap it on Switch, right? It won't change the labels, but who's looking at the controller anyway.

Oh wow and here I thought it stood for Right Trigger and Right Button. I was like why does trigger looks like a button and button looks like a trigger...

My brain and muscle memory from childhood are so PlayStation-coded, that I'll sometimes get tripped up using my XBone controller on PC and hit the wrong button when doing QTEs lol

I could just remap in the emulator too, just hadn't felt up to such.

i mean if you've never used a playstation the same would presumably be true all over the world, "cancel" is symbolized by X
