Building a Custom Layout

The default layout is designed for everyone, which means it is optimised for no one. A custom layout puts your most-used actions exactly where your thumbs already want to be.

Start with your fight sequence

Before touching a button, write the sequence you do in every fight: move, peek, scope, fire, crouch or jump, reload. Any button used mid-fight must be pressable without taking a finger off movement or aiming.

Layout principles

• Left thumb moves, right thumb aims. Extra fingers handle everything else, so a fourth or fifth finger lets you fire and aim at once.
• Keep buttons away from the screen edges that your palms or case can accidentally press.
• Size matters. Buttons you must hit blind should be larger. Rarely used ones, like grenades, can be smaller.
• Place peek or lean buttons where an index finger can tap them while your thumb stays on the stick.
• Separate emergency buttons such as heal and vehicle exit so you never press them by accident.

Save and share

Save at least two layouts. Keep layout 1 as your locked main and use layout 2 only for experiments. Copy the share code into the Settings Tracker so you can restore it after any update or phone change.
