🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data
A tiny cosmetic mod that swaps Xinput controller face button icons to match Nintendo's layout, ideal for Switch controller users on PC. Barely any traction yet, but it does exactly what it says with zero bloat.

Simple cosmetic change with no gameplay alterations
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Does exactly what it promises—no more confusing button prompts if you're used to Nintendo's layout
- Lightweight and focused; won't clutter your mod list with unnecessary extras
- Fresh upload (July 2026) so it's likely compatible with current game versions
⚠️ Cons
- Zero endorsements and only 1 download—untested by the community, so you're the guinea pig
- No screenshots or install instructions provided, so you're flying blind on setup
- Niche appeal: only useful if you're using a Switch controller on PC and hate mismatched icons
🎯 Is This For You?
For PC gamers who use a Switch Pro Controller or similar and want the on-screen prompts to match the physical buttons. Skip if you're fine with standard Xbox prompts or play with keyboard/mouse.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a cosmetic mod, make sure your game's input mode is set to Xinput (most modern games do this automatically).
- If the mod doesn't work, check if your controller is in Switch mode—some controllers have a toggle for PC/Switch compatibility.
- Look for a README or config file after installing; if none, try placing files in the game's root folder or a 'mods' directory.
