You guys should reconsider using Z and X for default controls

Defaults absolutely do not matter.

You should absolutely put thought into your default controls. OP is bringing up great points and its something you really need to think about as a developer.

A lot of potential players may not even attempt to change their controls, trusting that the default settings are optimized and ideal for the game (they were chosen with the game in mind after all). Customization for controls should exist as a fallback in case that for whatever reason the default doesn't work for a player, but your default should still be put together keeping most players in mind.
