I want to change the A, B, X, Y buttons on my controller to the Xbox controller configuration.
Are each of the buttons different heights?.. Do I need to buy replacement buttons that are specifically the Xbox controller configuration style for the King Kong Pro 2?
Thanks in advance.
Yep, they are all different heights. If you look on GuliKits website it shows them being different heights.

They sell replacement keycaps.
This guide is very convoluted and adds about 25 steps to a one-step procedure. Example image from gulikit
One of the features of the King Kong 2 Pro that they advertise with the replacement buttons is that they include a pair of tweezers to take the buttons out of the face of the controller
That's it, it's one step.
