I've been playing my Nintendo Switch and Xbox a lot lately. I've had no problem going between the Xbox and Switch, despite the inverted button layout. I just finished Quantum Break, and I've been playing Xenoblade Chronicles. I don't even think about the buttons. Everything just works.

I use the Switch Joy-Cons with the included grip. It is particularly cumbersome in Xenoblade to reach my left thumb down to the Joy-Con d-pad (which you must do constantly in battle). The Pro Controller has a large d-pad and it's offset, so I thought it would help. I recently bought a Pro Controller, and have been trying to use it. However, my brain automatically treats it as an Xbox controller. It is so frustrating. I am just trying to do stuff like cancel out of menus and I end up wanting to throw the controller. Jumping... attacking... everything is reversed.

I switch back to the Joy-Cons in the grip, and my brain immediately reverts back to the Switch button layout. Everything just works again. It's a shame, because the analog sticks are much more precise on the Pro controller. I think I have to stick with the Joy-Cons.

Anyone else here experience this phenomenon?

Remap them buttons dude! My switch asks me if I want to keep the button layout everytime I turn it on.

That's me every like 2 weeks or so whenever I have Nintendo games pending lol I just can't help it but confuse each other buttons layout all the time for some minutes, specially when I've been playing a game for so long in a platform (I don't jump between games) like when I played Xenoblade 3 or when I played Elden Ring, it really hit me these days because I went back to TOTK after a year of break from it and right after being done with Elden Ring, had to have like 10 hours of exploration just for my hands to warm up lol
