Players on generic/unnamed controllers (and Steam Input remappers) get prompts labeled for someone else's buttons: Switch, Xbox, or PlayStation symbols that don't match what's in their hands.

Request: a universal prompt preset whose glyphs show button placement instead of symbols — e.g. face-button positions (top/bottom/left/right diamond), shoulder/stick positions — so every prompt reads correctly regardless of controller brand or remap. It would sit alongside the existing Switch/Xbox/PlayStation presets, not replace them.

Scope: the in-game prompts first; the sheet-music buttons (#1622) have the same problem and could share the set. No new input mapping needed — purely a glyph preset.

Thanks for the report. Reports of the same problem are now collected in #2504, which lists this one with your details and links back here, so one fix closes them together and the open list stays readable. Follow #2504 for the fix, and add new details there (or here). If this turns out to be a separate problem it will be reopened.
