I've got a (non-brand) playstation controller, but for some reason, Steam thinks it's an XBox controller and puts the XBox button prompts in games instead. I had a (non-brand) XBox controller before, so my muscle memory thankfully knows the buttons and I don't actually have to look.

How about a controller with only "X" buttons, but each in a different font?

Big gaming companies. They could made a standard layout, but they are not so clever for this. Every time i play with my Nintendo Pro controller a new game in the PC i get frustrated until i find the proper workaround.

I want a controller with A-south, B-west, X-east, and Y-north.

It doesn't matter what symbols are on the buttons.

My first PlayStation was the PS3, I had Nintendo consoles and was used to Xbox by that time. First game I played on PS3 was heavy rain. A game heavily littered with QTE's. Big mistake. I was looking at the controller half the time figuring out which button to press, missed half of them. I'm sure it came natural to some, but my muscle memory learned on ABXY.. So its generally me preferred way to play.

It really fucks with me when I plug in my steam deck to the TV and use my PS5 controller to play.

Honestly if they flipped and mirrored it it would be a pretty funny bold move.
