The idea

I would like to make a minor suggestion for a future update. Would it be possible to include an option for Xbox One style button prompts in the UI?
Since Nintendo layout has the face buttons inverted compared to Xbox/PC standards, it can be a bit confusing for muscle memory to see the default on-screen commands. This is definitely not a critical bug, just a Quality of Life (QoL) improvement to make the gameplay experience smoother for PC players.
I am attaching a screenshot to show how the game menu layout would look with this button distribution.

Anything else

I just bring up the settings with insert button and go down to controls and swap the abxy buttons around and they then match the controller and what it says on the screen prompts.

Thank you for the suggestion. I already tried remapping the buttons as you mentioned, but the issue is that the on-screen UI prompts remain unchanged. The attached image shows exactly what I mean by an "inverted UI," which can break the immersion and muscle memory for many of us who are deeply accustomed to Xbox and PC layouts.
It would be a great QoL addition if the visual layout of the prompts could dynamically match the controller configuration. Thank you for your hard work on this project!

I wanted to let you know that the new controller layout system combined with the Xbox UI mod works perfectly! The recomp feels fresh and really fun to play now. While there are still a few visual issues lingering, I know those will get sorted out in future releases.
I truly want to thank you for implementing joystick support directly into the options and for recommending the UI mod. I really appreciate your help and your amazing work on this project!

Thanks for the idea. Feature requests are now collected in #1007, which lists this one with a link back here, so closing it in favour of that list (this is not a decision against the idea).
