FPS (Switch Pro) preset
This preset ships inside InputConfig, free on the Mac App Store. You don't have to make an account, there are no subscriptions, and nothing is locked. Optimized for Apple silicon.
The Switch Pro Controller has its face buttons in Nintendo's arrangement, B at the bottom and A on the right. This preset places the shooter actions by position, so the bottom button jumps regardless of the letter on it, and ZR and ZL take fire and aim.

Where it is in the app
It ships inside InputConfig: open the sidebar and look in its folder, or search for it. Activate it, or press Edit to see every row. It is also here as a file, identical apart from being inactive and ungrouped, for anyone who deleted theirs or wants it on another Mac.

24 rows. Button names are the Xbox / PlayStation pair the editor shows; a Switch Pro Controller fires by position. Options are the row settings that differ from the defaults.
Notes
- No gyro, no rumble. Gyro aim and rumble are not available on the Switch Pro Controller on a Mac, so this layout has no motion or vibration rows.
- Everything else works. That means every button, both sticks and the D-pad.
Actions follow the button's position, not the letter printed on it.

To add a downloaded preset: drop the file on InputConfig's Dock icon, or click the … button next to any preset in the sidebar, choose Import Preset File, and pick the file. It lands in the sidebar, ready to activate or edit. Any launch target inside a preset file is cleared on import; add one yourself in the editor if you want it.
