Wiring order is recommended to follow the standard on the diagram so the color profile app will be correct.

Kick 1-4 on bottom Row.

If using a 6 button or scantron layout the unused led headers can be skipped using the included skip adapters.

Keyboard mode inputs can be adjusted as you wish but Xinput is non adjustable .

This is on purpose so everyone will follow the fight stick tournament standard used by modern games such as Street Fighter 5.

Most Steam and Windows games will work perfectly as they expect this standard layout for fighters .
