Controller input swap

🎮 **Tired of the default key layout? ** This simple mod allows you to remap the controller buttons according to your own habits, making the operation feel of "Hogwarts Legacy" even better!

✨ Core Functions

This module achieves the following key exchanges by modifying the game configuration file:

  • **Defense/rebound key position optimization** 🔄
  • Interchange the functions of **L1/LB** and **Triangle Key/Y Key**.
  • Now you can use the more intuitive **L1/LB** to cast **Armor Protection (Protego)** for defense and rebound!
  • **Attack button customization** ⚔️
  • Interchange the functions of **R1/RB** and **R2/RT**.
  • If you're like me and are used to using **R1** (PlayStation) or **RB** (Xbox) to attack and cast spells in most games, then this change will feel more familiar to you.

📥 Installation Guide

  • Copy the downloaded `Input.ini` file to the following directory:

`~Users/youraccountname/Appdata/Local/Hogwarts Legacy/Saved/Config/WindowsNoEditor`

  • **IMPORTANT STEP**: Make sure the file's properties are set to **"Read Only"** (usually it already is, but be sure to check).
  • *(Right-click on the file -> Properties -> View the "Properties" option at the bottom) *

💡 Usage suggestions

  • This mod is very suitable for players who have switched to Hogwarts from other action games (especially Souls or mainstream action games). It can effectively reduce the operational confusion caused by muscle memory.
  • Use **L1/LB** to defend more smoothly, react faster, and fight more smoothly in duels!

🙏 Special thanks

Thanks to the inspiration from modder **Lucivar333** and his original version Swap L1 and Triangle for Protego (for Controller), his mod only swaps the defense buttons.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
