The analog sticks sit below the pill-shaped Start and Select buttons and are spaced out just a tad more than the DualShock 4’s analog sticks.
They are slightly taller than the buttons found on modern controllers like the DualShock, DualSense, and Xbox Series X/S controllers – but the point at which the button registers a press feels roughly the same. Opposite the D-pad are four face buttons (laid out in Nintendo’s A/B/X/Y style) which have a satisfying click when pressed. 8BitDo has nearly perfected the modern D-pad, reproducing something that feels like the best version of what appeared on the SNES controller while maintaining the original size, shape, and feel.
