navarro25osu has been playing Resident Evil Village with this profile and says it's working well. With minor tweaks it should carry over to Resident Evil 7 and the recent RE remakes.

Why it works for survival horror

RE games are about precise aiming under pressure: aim, shoot, reload, guard and quick-turn. A good layout keeps aim and fire on strong fingers with guard and reload close enough to chain without looking, while the SWORL's right dome handles careful headshots.

Using it for other RE games

RE7, RE2, RE3 and RE4 share similar control schemes. Import this profile and adjust only what moved, for example the RE4 knife parry, which works best on a finger you can press instantly.

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.
