kindiboy’s mod remaps 16 gamepad inputs

While Will Powers compares the default controls to a bicycle, user kindiboy posted the mod Controller Button Remapper. An INI file configures 16 kinds of input: triggers swap, stick axes invert, the d-pad is remapped. It claims compatibility with Xbox, PlayStation and generic pads without a performance hit.

Steam Input has to be off, because the plugin catches commands before the game. On-screen prompts stay old, because the textures sit in closed archives. The new assignments themselves work after a restart. Install is three files in bin64.

Dinga Bakaba still calls unusual layouts useful exercise. The mod gives people who disagree another route, without waiting for a studio patch.
