## General Notes
{{< back_to_top >}}

- If you need a controller layout that doesn't rely on the `Shift` function, please see the `Scuff Instinct Pro` configuration below
- If you need a controller layout for just 2 paddles, please see the `Kishi v2` configuration below
- These are my starting point for games at the controller level. I do tune for individual games, these controller configs are mainly to keep base controller config consistent across controllers
- I try very hard to keep functions to specific buttons and paddles in my gaming so this is just a general starting point. I do a lot of in-game configuration too. The below in-game configurations show how I leverage these base controller configurations
