Please Allow Us to Swap the AB & XY Buttons

I play mostly on Nintendo consoles, so I'm used to the button layout of the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller. When I'm using the Stadia controller, I consistently keep pressing the B button to confirm and the A button to go back because their positions are opposite of what I'm used to.

Can you please include an option to switch the button layout for the Stadia menus and games? When playing on PC, I can use an 8bit Do controller that lets me configure the buttons. That helps with the menus, but then I have to change the button layout within the games so they match where the default was.

I wish all of the button layouts had just stayed the same from the SNES. I like the Stadia controller, especially having the microphone built-in, but having the buttons switched is so annoying that it's almost frustrating. Stadia is the first time I'm seriously trying a different console than just Nintendo.

@Hyawatta, I'd suggest leaving feedback in the Stadia app. Click your user icon in the upper right and scroll down to the feedback section.
Some games however allow for button mapping so you might want to check if there's an option for that within the game. But I believe most if not all controllers use the same layout for consistency across platforms.
