"VS Arc" SWORL layout arranges the main action buttons like a classic Sega Virtua Stick or HORI VX SA arcade panel.

How it works

The home row is on top, with your thumb resting on X/A so your fingers are always on the face buttons. Flick down to reach the shoulder buttons. For games that use the triggers more, swap triggers and shoulders.

Great for

Arcade ports, beat 'em ups and character-action games where the four face buttons do most of the work, from Streets of Rage 4 to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge.

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.
