Switch-style icons for swapping A and B buttons for players using the Nintendo layout

Switch button icon (A and B interchange)

🎮 **Designed specifically for players using the Nintendo Switch layout**! This mod adjusts the button icons in the game to the Switch style and swaps the positions of the A and B buttons, allowing you to enjoy the original Switch operating experience on your PC.

✨ Main functions

  • 🔄 **A and B button interchange** - The button on the right is confirmation, the button below is cancel
  • 🎯 **Switch style icons** - exactly matches the button layout of Nintendo Switch
  • 🕹️ **Perfect Compatibility** - Optimized for players with Steam input and Nintendo layout enabled

⚙️ Prerequisites for use

Remember to enable both **Steam Input** and **Nintendo Layout** in Steam Settings, then remap the A and B buttons in Game Options. In this way, you can get an operating experience that is completely consistent with the real Switch!

📥 Installation method

  • Drag and drop the folder in the compressed package directly to the game root directory
  • Select the replacement file when asked
  • The game root directory is usually located at: `C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight Silksong`

💡 **Tip**: You can quickly access the game directory by right-clicking Silksong in the Steam library → Manage → Browse Local Files

🔄 Restore the original version

It is recommended to back up the original `buttons_main.spriteatlas.bundle` file, which is located at:

`C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight Silksong\Hollow Knight Silksong_Data\StreamingAssets\aa\StandaloneWindows64\atlases_assets_assets\sprites\_atlases`

If you don't have a backup, you can also restore the original button through Steam's Verify File Integrity feature.

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.
