What are your wackiest ideas for a “universal” controller layout that would appeal to the fans of the Xbox, Nintendo, and PS layouts? You certainly can’t pick one of the three, that would be lazy and frankly unfair for the other two layouts. It’s got to be something that everyone agrees on, something different!
I’ve got a few ideas: NSEW (the cardinal directions), RGBA (colours, also transparent button could be cool…), or maybe CMYK (printer ink colours for ease of printing)
What are your ideas for the universal controller layout?
They could choose any name other that L3 and R3 though.
That’s what PlayStation calls them. Xbox calls them LSB and RSB (Left/Right stick button). Nintendo has no name for them, they just refer to them as “clicking the left/right stick”. Also Nintendo calls the bumpers L and R, and the triggers ZL and ZR.
LSB and RSB are so much better in my opinion. They actually have meaning so you don’t have to remeber an arbitrary number.
