Im currently messing with a Rythem Style Game and was planning on mapping the controller to a classic key format

Up,Down,Left,Right
x,y,a,b

at first i was working along the keyboard controll format but it seems that not all 3+ key combinations are supported so a controller is the only option

1. Is the Class Snes Ps Xbox controller format a popular choice for the pc gamer ?

2. During Setup im allowing the user to define their own symbols for the relivant buttons and directions are the x,y,a,b and Ps Symbols okay to use or are they copyright infringment ?

lol typo :) (Rhythm Game)
