meow built this Dark Souls II profile using just_benj's Elden Ring layout as inspiration, then refined it over a few days.

What changed from Elden Ring

Elden Ring has a dedicated jump button, which is why the X/A button gets such a prominent spot in just_benj's layout. Dark Souls II handles jumping differently (you jump out of a sprint), so that prime spot is freed up for other actions. Check the diagram for how meow rearranged it.

Steam Input tip

Start was moved to L3 using Steam Input so the menu is reachable mid-fight. You can do the same with Select in other games.

Download the Dark Souls II SWORL profile

Dark Souls 2 (meow): Download sworl-dark-souls-2.json

{"board":"SWORL","profile":0,"buttons":[8,1,9,3,11,7,4,0,13,12,2,5,10,6]}

How to import a SWORL layout

1. Download the .json file above, or copy the code into a text file and save it with a .json extension.
2. Open the file in a text editor and change the "profile" value to the slot you want, minus one (Profile 1 = 0, Profile 5 = 4), so you don't overwrite an existing profile.
3. Open the SWORL configurator, connect your SWORL and import the file.
