The continued success of the Nintendo Switch gave rise to a third brand and a third controller layout, though it closely resembled the Microsoft Xbox controller layout except for one important aspect: the face or \u201cABXY\u201d buttons. This means that the same wireless controller could be used for both the Nintendo Switch and Xbox-compatible games (presuming it supported both technologies), but you have to remember to switch layouts and, more importantly, not be confused by the letters on the buttons. Thankfully, this controller design has a curious fix for that.<\/p>\n<p>Designer: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gamesir.hk\/products\/gamesir-tarantula-pro?variant=44776902459626\">GameSir<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/10\/gamesir-tarantula-pro-controller-has-a-clever-solution-to-button-layout-problems\/gamesir-tarantula-pro-controller-06.jpg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-514099\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/10\/10\/gamesir-tarantula-pro-controller-has-a-clever-solution-to-button-layout-problems\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"GameSir Tarantula Pro controller has a clever solution to button layout problems\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/10\/gamesir-tarantula-pro-controller-has-a-clever-solution-to-button-layout-problems\/gamesir-tarantula-pro-controller-06.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/10\/gamesir-tarantula-pro-controller-has-a-clever-solution-to-button-layout-problems\/gamesir-tarantula-pro-controller-05.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-514100\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/10\/10\/gamesir-tarantula-pro-controller-has-a-clever-solution-to-button-layout-problems\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"GameSir Tarantula Pro controller has a clever solution to button layout problems\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/10\/gamesir-tarantula-pro-controller-has-a-clever-solution-to-button-layout-problems\/gamesir-tarantula-pro-controller-05.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/10\/gamesir-tarantula-pro-controller-has-a-clever-solution-to-button-layout-problems\/gamesir-tarantula-pro-controller-05.jpg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-514100\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/10\/10\/gamesir-tarantula-pro-controller-has-a-clever-solution-to-button-layout-problems\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"GameSir Tarantula Pro controller has a clever solution to button layout problems\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/10\/gamesir-tarantula-pro-controller-has-a-clever-solution-to-button-layout-problems\/gamesir-tarantula-pro-controller-05.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad width=\"100vw\" height=\"320\" type=\"adsense\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-0648786275385337\" data-ad-slot=\"6683677248\" data-auto-format=\"rspv\" data-full-width><\/p>\n<div overflow><\/div>\n<p><\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<div style=\"padding: 4px; margin: 18px auto 20px; text-align:center;\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\" type=\"288b334e25bbadc5376aa3ee-text\/javascript\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"288b334e25bbadc5376aa3ee-text\/javascript\">\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Truth be told, it\u2019s not that hard to change button layouts for controllers that support switching back and forth between different platforms.

It has, however, a rather unique mechanism where a sequence of buttons activates a gear that changes the letters and layout on the face buttons from the four colors of an Xbox-compatible controller to the monochrome style for the Switch. You can even peek at the gear that turns to make this switch, no pun intended, through a small transparent window on one of the right-side handles.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/10\/gamesir-tarantula-pro-controller-has-a-clever-solution-to-button-layout-problems\/gamesir-tarantula-pro-controller-02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-514103\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt=\"\" data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/10\/10\/gamesir-tarantula-pro-controller-has-a-clever-solution-to-button-layout-problems\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"GameSir Tarantula Pro controller has a clever solution to button layout problems\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/10\/gamesir-tarantula-pro-controller-has-a-clever-solution-to-button-layout-problems\/gamesir-tarantula-pro-controller-02.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/10\/gamesir-tarantula-pro-controller-has-a-clever-solution-to-button-layout-problems\/gamesir-tarantula-pro-controller-02.jpg\" alt width=\"1280\" height=\"960\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-full wp-image-514103\" data-jpibfi-post-excerpt data-jpibfi-post-url=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/2024\/10\/10\/gamesir-tarantula-pro-controller-has-a-clever-solution-to-button-layout-problems\/\" data-jpibfi-post-title=\"GameSir Tarantula Pro controller has a clever solution to button layout problems\" data-jpibfi-src=\"https:\/\/www.yankodesign.com\/images\/design_news\/2024\/10\/gamesir-tarantula-pro-controller-has-a-clever-solution-to-button-layout-problems\/gamesir-tarantula-pro-controller-02.jpg\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-8\" style=\"margin: 8px 0; clear: both;\">\n<amp-ad layout=\"fluid\" height=\"fluid\" type=\"doubleclick\" data-slot=\"\/3847355\/yd-select-amp\"><br \/>\n<\/amp-ad><\/div>\n<p>Beyond this, the GameSir Tarantula Pro is actually full of additional features, like no less than 9 buttons you can map to different actions, four switches on the back for turning certain functions on or off, and, of course, some RGB lighting to add flavor to your gaming.
