The Natural Profile: Swap SWORL Shoulder Buttons Out of Fighting-Game Order
JFA Staff
The SWORL's default button bank uses a fighting-game order. For many other genres you'll want shoulders and triggers in a more natural left/right order. Rosseyn shared a simple profile that does exactly that.

What it changes
The profile swaps two pairs of L/R buttons so the shoulders and triggers read in a natural order, and leaves everything else on the default. It's a great first profile before you build game-specific ones.

How to import a SWORL layout
- Download the .json file above, or copy the code into a text file and save it with a .json extension.
- 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. - Open the SWORL configurator, connect your SWORL and import the file.
