Nintendo Button Mapping Reversed in 4.3?

Godot Version

4.3

Question

Nintendo controller mapping seems to be reversing A/B and X/Y input compared with what is for Nintendo controllers. In the input map they are correctly labeled to be swapped compared with the Xbox button mappings, but when I have either my official Nintendo Switch Pro Controller or Nintendo Switch wireless SNES controller these buttons are reporting reversed input compared with what I’ve seen previously on 4.2.

Repro:
Connect Nintendo bluetooth controller.
Map button marked (Nintendo A) to action.
Note in gameplay, pressing button B on Nintendo controller activates button mapped to A

These mappings are from [A, B, X, Y] to [B, A, Y, X] respectively.

I’m reproing this on macOS 14.6.1 on both an ARM iMac, and Intel MacBook Pro. As well as on iOS 17.5.1 on an iPhone 15 Pro.

This doesn’t seem related to an OS change, as other applications using these controllers haven’t seen the same change in behavior. And other non-Nintendo controllers that I have maintained their button mappings from 4.2.

Godot leverages an 3rd party, open source database for button mapping.

See here for details:

If you find a mistake please report an issue for the project:

If this is a non-standard Nintendo controller (i.e. it’s not registered in the database) it could be defaulting to a generic button map.

Or it could be because of this issue

### Tested versions Reproducible in Godot v4.3.dev (b15105a35) ### System …information Godot v4.3.dev (b15105a35) - macOS 14.3.1 - Vulkan (Forward+) - dedicated AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT - Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700K CPU @ 3.80GHz (16 Threads) ### Issue description The mappings for the A, B, X, and Y buttons on the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller are off. The A and B buttons are switched, as are the X and Y buttons. I've attached a short video of my pressing the buttons on the controller and seeing what the editor picked up. https://github.com/godotengine/godot/assets/9957987/0598d279-d0de-462b-8e24-4bc9ceb4c182 ### Steps to reproduce 1. Use a very recent version of Godot (presumably one since #80709 was merged). 2. In a fresh project, go to Project Settings > Input Map, add a new action, and open the Event Configuration window for that action. 3. Connect a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller to the computer. 4. Press the A, B, X, and Y buttons on the controller, and see what button Godot registers. - If you press A, Godot will register `Joypad Button 0 (Bottom Action, Sony Cross, Xbox A, Nintendo B)`, despite it being the Right Action button. - If you press B, Godot should register `Joypad Button 1 (Right Action, Sony Circle, Xbox B, Nintendo A)`, despite it being the Bottom Action button. - If you press X, Godot should register `Joypad Button 2 (Left Action, Sony Square, Xbox X, Nintendo Y)`, despite it being the Top Action button. - If you press Y, Godot should register `Joypad Button 3 (Top Action, Sony Triangle, Xbox Y, Nintendo X)`, despite it being the Left Action button. ### Minimal reproduction project (MRP) N/A
