General Notes

If you need a controller layout that doesn’t rely on the Shift function, please see the Scuff Instinct Pro configuration below
If you need a controller layout for just 2 paddles, please see the Kishi v2 configuration below
These are my starting point for games at the controller level. I do tune for individual games, these controller configs are mainly to keep base controller config consistent across controllers
I try very hard to keep functions to specific buttons and paddles in my gaming so this is just a general starting point. I do a lot of in-game configuration too. The below in-game configurations show how I leverage these base controller configurations

Only the paddles need button mappings, assign everything else to match the physical controller

The Only Consideration

Before we get too far into opinion land, I’d like to point out the only considerations I consider important.

They are:

What works for your hands?
Is it comfortable?
Does it cause health issues or pain? (It should not)
It doesn’t get in the way of you enjoying a game
Paddles should be a consideration as a requirement. They allow your thumbs to remain on look/move and still retain the ability to jump/reload/etc while also moving and looking around
Ensure there are at least two buttons/paddles on the controller grips OR it has 3 total buttons per ‘shoulder’: standard shoulder button, trigger, additional button that can be bound to any other button

If the above considerations are met, I think it’s a perfectly valid and acceptable controller for use.

KemoNine’s Destiny 2 In-Game Config

Important Notes

ALL config has been play tested heavily
This setup alternates hands for complimentary actions and balancing forces applied to buttons/triggers/sticks as you play
This lets you move around while holding sticks for things like ‘interact holds’ or ’toggle crouch’ – if you have crouch on movement stick itll auto-drop you out of crouch because youve tripped the movement stick – moving it to look stick fixed the problem – the game engine input processing limits stick config options that work with the flow of movement in-game
You can safely shuffle some things around based on usage patterns ; just dont change single/double/hold for how things activate ; a lot of this layout avoids issues with the input engine (see below)
Long press events trigger single press events ; you should NOT overlap long and single press on a single button – this appears to be a BUG in the input engine code
With Strand using so many grenade, class ability and melee actions, the 4 paddle version was updated to make it easier to manage ability spam. The 2 paddle form does work but is harder to use tactically in my opinion and prompted the updates above

Important Notes

This setup was reconciled against Destiny 2. In particular the Discoveries / Options and Inventories functions are in opposite locations compared to Destiny 2 by default and I have flipped them universally to help with muscle memory when swapping between the two games.
