    If I’ve mostly been on the Xbox or the Switch for a while and then change to the other system I keep cancelling things instead of selecting them for a little while because the A & B buttons are opposite. This is really only a problem on menus, though; muscle memory for the specific gameplay takes over in-game. I don’t know if this would really help things out. It’s really just a mild annoyance that I just deal with for a few minutes.

      Yeah. My point was no one stops to look and see what a button is labeled before pressing it

      The confusion is when you see “x” and your brain doesn’t remember which button that is, labeling the buttons solves nothing.

        I’m assuming the actual reported button changes along with the label or else this really doesn’t help at all

          You don’t have to assume anything, or even click the article, I already had quoted the relevant part…

          When users simultaneously hold down the M button on the rear and the bottom face button, an internal gear rotates the buttons between Microsoft’s and Nintendo’s slightly different orientations.

          It doesn’t change the on screen prompt like a steam overlay, it physically moves the buttons around
