I forget if I ever shared this thing I made back in the day.
Not enough X

Gamecube controllers had X on the right, if you're looking to fill in your graphic :)

Interestingly, the Playstation one officially isn't the letter X, it's "Cross" according to Sony. But pretty much no one ever actually uses that name.
replies:
"left top" that's me
If xbox is gone, there's at least a chance we can finally bury the abxy vs bayx thing.

I find myself having to use my Switch pro controller when playing Wii U games on PC, because if I use my Xbox controller I get fucked up on button locations. But somehow holding the slightly different controller shape and button size makes my muscle memory switch for it cleanly.

TIC-80 has support for gamepads and keyboard. Some games say "Press X" as in the X button on the gamepad, while others refer to the X key on the keyboard which in the default mappings send the B button input.
It has caused lots of confusion
The Microsoft layout being the standard messes me up every time. The SNES layout was seared into my brain 34 years ago. Sony's is different enough that I don't get confused.
My mom plays PS1 games on RetroArch with an El Cheapo Bluetooth gamepad that has the Xbox layout. I have to explain the controls to her every time "Press X" or some such comes on the screen
Oh wow and here I thought it stood for Right Trigger and Right Button. I was like why does trigger looks like a button and button looks like a trigger...
