How to remap Nintendo Switch joycon controller buttons NintendoNintendo Switch users rejoice \u2014 you can now customize your joycon controller settings to remap any button you wish. Want to know how? We\u2019ve got everything you need to know right here. Certain Nintendo Switch games, like Smash Ultimate, allow you to remap your controller buttons. They can help make playing the game more comfortable, or even slightly easier without having to reach across the controller to get certain combos. However, now there\u2019s an option to completely remap your Switch controllers \u2014 system-wide. An April 13 patch pushed to all Nintendo Switch devices added the new controller button remap feature, and we\u2019ve broken down how you can use it. How to remap Nintendo Switch controllers Remapping your Nintendo Switch controllers is super easy. Below you can find step-by-step instructions on how to do it. First, you have to make sure they are paired to your switch, and powered on. This is self-explanatory, but we have to list it in case you haven\u2019t already. – Then, you\u2019ll have to navigate through your System Settings (not your controller menu) to the Controllers and Sensors section. Second from the top, there\u2019ll be a setting called \u201cChange Button Mapping.\u201d – In that menu, you\u2019ll be able to select what controller you want to remap, and what to remap it to. You\u2019ll have a choice of around a dozen different buttons, or disabling it completely. – Then, it\u2019s as simple as saving, and playing on. – If for whatever reason you are unhappy with what you remapped your controller to, it\u2019s easy to revert. Just hit the reset button in the mapping menu, and it\u2019ll be reverted to factory settings. Should you have multiple people who use the same controller, you can save presets so everyone can load up their preferred controls. Select the \u201cSave as a Preset\u201d option on the mapping menu, name it, and you\u2019ll be able to chop and choose whenever you need. You can remap certain controllers, like singular joycons, joycon pairs, and pro controllers. However, Gamecube controllers cannot be changed from their default settings. The April 13 Nintendo Switch patch also included options to transfer software data between system memory and SD cards, bookmarks to News, and Animal Crossing: New Horizons profile icons. However, the controller remap settings will arguably be the most useful of the lot. It\u2019ll allow players with disabilities to change their controllers for accessibility purposes, and give more competitive players the chance to disable buttons they don\u2019t really need.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
