Controller Configurations

This tip is a syndicated copy of KemoNine’s blog post. It has been adapted to our site’s format by KemoNine.

• 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
