Right handed fight stick and full remapability

There are a couple things which prevent the Xbox button map of system to be a perfect way to make adjustable controllers.

For fight sticks the biggest one is contour.if one were to 180 a typical fight stick and one were able to use the Xbox one button mapping OS it would still be hard for most right-handed people to use a fight stick. Here's a photo showing a typical hand
versus a typical left-handed joystick 180ed.

My suggestion would be to have a button contour like the one in the picture so that it's easily programmable to be both left-handed and right-handed simply by 180ing.

they're also a couple other questions about the joystick programming OS I'm having trouble with.

one is the fact that left trigger and right trigger are usually next to each other horizontally which prevents a true Sega Genesis layout of ABC XYZ on the Sega Genesis collection. An easy solution to that, at least on the Xbox One, and the Xbox Series
assuming it inherited everything from the Xbox One, it's to have a check mark in the operating system called All Digital buttons. that way the trigger could be swapped with any button and vice versa making for a completely custom layout. As opposed to assuming
the triggers are analog. Now in some games you want to triggers to be analog and another is you don't so therefore the check will exist on games where analogueness does not matter for the triggers, like fighting games and classic video games.

One other issue I have is the inability to flip both sticks axes as well as flipping both axes on the stick. Since my first 3D experience was Super Mario 64, my natural way of navigating the camera is guided by that. Thinking that I'm seeing the view as
Lakitu sees it, and swinging the camera to the right to get a vision of the left and vice versa. Likewise swinging the camera up to look at the ground and vice versa. Also for some spaceship and airplane and other flying games the only reason why down to
go up and up to go down exists is experience with real aircraft. If one never trained on an aircraft then it would be natural to think up goes up and down goes down so that needs to be inverted on the main stick too.

finally 180 in both axes will make the analog controls also invertible into right hand. Just flip the x-axis and the y-axis of the left controller if the game requires analog controller and move the buttons around and you got it.

By the way I tried to submit my joystick design to horror USA a famous American subdivision of a Japanese joystick maker. The American manager said it was a great design it would sell lots of copies in the United States but there's no way in the world that
the Japanese Main headquarters is going to allow my design. I don't know whether Ambidexterity is the thing that the Japanese won't allow because if it is then we need an American compay to make this ambidextrous fight stick.

The last authorized console joystick was the Beeshu Genesis Gizmo. That was a three-button model and that should be sure that it would be too prohibitive to make six button ambidextrous joysticks with the model they were currently using which was mirrored
buttons on both sides.

If I could I would go back in time and show be sure my design so that you could use less capital in buying joystick buttons and be more competitive with a monodextrous fight stick and who knows maybe we be talking about Beeshu today, instead of Hori.

finally I prefer the American style stick where you have to move it deliberately to move the more you have to move it to move the less likely there is false actuations of diagonals. Now it's very hard to find an American style stick in an off the shelf
version of a joystick. Now everyone sells joysticks that are so delicate you're "sipping wine." Well I want to "guzzle beer.". Just like only Americans can make SUVs well while everyone else makes the small cars.

It's not that ambidextrous joysticks fail in the market it's just that ambidextrous joysticks fail at The gatekeepers of the systems. Nintendo never allowed a right-handed joystick on its machine. The beat shoe was a better product than the NES advantage
but the only way they got the beef shoe super stick license was to go to Turbo graphics 16 in Genesis and get license versus those to make Nintendo take notice.

Since the other two systems are owned by proud to be Japanese companies, and even the USA division of a Japanese company said there's no way Japan would allow this makes me think that the only company that can do this is an American company. Especially
in American company with an American gatekeeper like Microsoft.

The first time I bought my custom right-handed joystick it was built by KY Enterprises. k y Enterprises normally builds equipment for handicapped people and assume most handicapped people can hire a handyman on the spot to fix something and have most of
its subsidized by the federal government. Unfortunately goofy handedness to use the skateboarders term is not a federally funded handicap that could be subsidized for. So there needs to be off the shelf options so that you can just pick up and play.

And this actually helps with performance. On my website sinistersticks.com I tell if not only how I but four other common friends beat the local Blockbuster champion in the 90s in Street Fighter we've gone from four to five of us winning zero games against
them to all five of us beating them every time just by simply using a right-handed stick on Street Fighter 2 New Challengers. The local champ we beat later went on to appear twice on cable television to compete in video games winning life to the power of
X and being in wcg Ultimate Gamer season 1. And he said he would endorse it if we said the following things about that situation that happened:

Now he knows not to bring a pad to a stick fight so if we were to play Street Fighter 2 new Challengers again on the Genesis it will not be as bad of a beat and maybe not even a beat if he's able to use his joystick and we're able to use a right handed joystick.

Second that does not necessarily translate into better performance in future Fighters because the games have been engineered to focus more on the buttons and less on the joystick. there are videos of people doing funny things with very lenient special actuation
joystick maneuvers. so whatever Advantage you have using the right hand to activate specials is not going to be much of an advantage because of the slop Factor given to the left hand.

Finally it was a moment in time a very big moment in time for local clan but just a moment in time. Even though he was the local Genesis Blockbuster champion he's improved since then. I may have not.

by the way here's the photo of the contour I have laid out for my ambidextrous stick flip it 180° and you'll see what happens.
