With the Cross|Up, you can use the Designer Software to remap your buttons in the controller. This is useful because you can map your buttons how you want, and all you have to do for button check is ensure you're on default controls!

However, since the Cross|Up has more face buttons than a basic arcade stick, you have more options to work with - this helps you get the most out of your character or game, or simply can make the layout more comfortable and ergonomic for you.

Overview

Here's a the quick basics to button remapping. Below is a more in depth process.

Download the Designer Software before plugging the Cross|Up into your computer. Open the Designer Software and "Load Layouts from Controller" (top-left of window) to ensure you don't lose what you already have saved on your Cross|Up*. Choose the profile you wish to edit in the "Select Layout" drop-down menu (top of window). On the layout itself, click the button you wish to change. A drop-down menu will appear - Double click what bind you want for that button (press "ESC" to exit from the drop-down menu). Repeat with any buttons you wish to edit. Click "Save Layouts to Controller" (top-left of window)* after you're finished.

You can remap all the buttons that you see on the layout to whatever functions available. Yes, that even means the stick directions. You can even disable buttons if you don't find any use for them. Do what feels best to you, or go crazy and make everything "R1"

*If the Designer Software is failing to Load/Save, try switching USB ports and choosing the specific COM port your Cross|Up is using
