Learn how to rearrange all the buttons and thumbsticks on your PlayStation 4 DualShock Controller.
This accessibility feature allows nearly any button input to be relocated and assigned to another button, all from within the PlayStation console. This adjustment can make games more enjoyable and easier to play, giving you freedom to customize your controller for any game.
Things To Know:
- You can remap nearly all key inputs (X, O, Square, Triangle, R1/R2/R3, L1/L2/L3, Dpad Directions, Thumbstick Swap)
- Remapping is done at the operating system level and therefore relays the changes to all games
- You can enable and disable button mappings easily from your Settings Menu
- Thumbstick directions can be swapped (southpaw), as well as the Thumbstick Clicks (R3/L3)
- Only one remapping layout can be saved to a user profile
QUICK STEPS INSTRUCTIONS
Step One: Find the Accessibility Menu on your PS Dashboard
Select Settings>Accessibility>Button Assignments>Enable Custom Button Assignments>Customize Button Assignments
Step Two: Customize your button mapping and Save Changes

-Select Triangle and press X
-Select Directional Pad Up from the list and press X
Now you can see the Triangle Button is now assigned to the D-pad Up input. Additionally the original location for D-pad Up now automatically becomes the Triangle. Simply perform repeat this step for other input changes.
