You will need to understand what XML[www.w3schools.com] is, and have a text editor.

Another valuable piece of information to have is the mapping for your controller. For example, the default settings for Windows 10 are:


However, this is not always the case for every controller. For instance, on my Switch Pro Controller, everything here was accurate except for the face button numbers.

I will share some example configurations at the end of this guide for interested parties to use.

The directory that you are looking for will be something like this:


Inside of that directory, you will find the following file:

This file is the key to our remapped controller destiny! Open this file up in your favorite text editor, and lets get to work!

When you open the file, you will see a simple XML configuration.

Let me break down each line for you, so that you can make the edits that best suit your needs.


This is the configuration for the first QuickSlot spell, lets break down the two important attributes.


These two lines determine what combination of controller keys you need to hit for the action.
The value is the actual face button you need to press.
The value is the modifier you need to hold, ie R1/L1.

When going through and changing the face buttons for a given action, be extra careful about typos, as they can be very annoying to debug (the game doesn't give you any feedback, the controls just don't work ~_~).

Go through and remap each action as you see fit and for your own personal needs now.

This is more of a precaution that I picked up from my past than an explicit requirement for this guide.

In general when changing files of this manner in a game that doesn't give a UI to make the same changes, it is a good idea to make the settings file "Read-Only" so that the game doesn't accidentally overwrite your new shiny config.

To do this, right click on the file, and click "Properties".

At the bottom of this window you will see a "Read-Only" checkbox, check that and hit "OK".

You are now free to start up your game, and enjoy your newly remapped controller hotkeys!

I will be adding some example config files to this guide at a later date, including my own config for the Switch Pro Controller.

Thanks for reading, leave any questions/comments/issues at the bottom and I will get back to you!
