Switch Pro Controllers Buttons Are Reversed

[Super Snivy]

I have the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller button layout but my A button is still acting like a B button and vice versa. Same goes for the X and Y buttons. Does anyone know a fix to this?

Generally, PCs tend to recognize any controller as "xbox controller", I have a fake switch pro control (it works on the switch) and on the pc it detects it as xbox controller

I think you can fix it in the controller configuration.
Steam in the top left corner --> Settings --> Controller --> General Configuration
Make sure Switch configuration support and "Use Nintendo Button Layout" are checked.

Yeah that's what I've always had but it's just this game that ignores it for some reason.

Is it really showing Nintendo buttons or uncolored Xbox buttons?
The ps4 icons are black and white like the PS5's but it actually shows PS4

in your game library, select the game with the controller connected and there's an option next to support for "Controller Layout," select that (you might have to click the 3 dots to show it). here you can either manually swap the X<->Y and A<->B buttons or if you click on the button that says "Browse Configs" there's a profile under "Community" called "Switch Controller Fix" that you can load that does that. should fix the issue

Yeah that seems like the best option. Well thanks, man. Really appreciate it.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I don't know why the buttons were switched up but this did it :)

Im having this same issue and nowhere do I see this.. I just see "Disable STeam Input" "Use Default Settings" or "Enable Steam Input"

I have Nintendo enabled in Steam's settings. What am I missing here?

I think you're clicking on the gear to get into the game properties. What you want is below that. There's a row of options starting with "store page" on the left, and if your controller is connected you'll see "controller layout" on the right (or 3 dots indicating a drop down menu if the window is too small to display them all)

Steam has updated the controller settings UI since this post. you now have to open controller settings which is on the right side of the Steam launcher, enable Steam Input if it's not already, then click the large grey button that shows the current button profile, and you want to select the tab that say "Community Layouts"

Don't know if this is still relevant for anyone who's posted here, but I've noticed something when I was programming a Steam Input test tool in Godot a few months ago. (Found this thread just now while looking for something else.)
I don't have an official Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, but when setting up my KK2P*, Steam Input would show the reverse of the correct A/B and X/Y input, whether "Use Nintendo Button Layout" is set or not. That is, if it's not set, the button listed as A is actually B. If it is set... the button listed as A is still actually B. It seems to me that the display of A/B and X/Y in Steam Input's configurator is set to the opposite of that switch, but the function of the buttons in-game are correct.
