Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

I've recently broke my hand and it made playing games harder. Remapping buttons on back grip made it possible for me to enjoy many games, but I quickly noticed:

  • very low amount of games have back grip buttons enabled by default
  • I always set the buttons to the same configuration

I think it could be great accessibility feature to allow users to set back grip buttons to default functions. Some people could use it like I did with damage from accident, but it might also help people with disability(for example if someone uses the buttons often for zoom switch etc.). Even for people with no such needs some users might want to set a screenshot button or other features they find useful.

The setting should only enable back grip buttons to the defaults if the selected controller layout doesn't have back grip buttons enabled at all. Otherwise per-game settings should have precedence.
