What do XAG 107 and the Game Accessibility Guidelines require for input remapping?
XAG 107 asks games to offer in-game remapping of all controls even where the platform remaps, including analog/digital controls and per-stick axis inversion, sensitivity adjustable by at least 50% of default, full operability with digital input, and attention to long holds (2-3 s or more) and simultaneous presses; the Game Accessibility Guidelines list remappable controls as a Basic guideline and say system-level remapping is a safety net, not a substitute.
