• Dual Analog Sticks: For precise 360-degree movement and camera control.
• D-Pad: For directional input, often used in fighting games or menus.
• Action Buttons (A, B, X, Y): Standard colored buttons for in-game actions.
• Shoulder Buttons (LB, RB) & Triggers (LT, RT): Located on the top of the gamepad for additional actions.

To clean your gamepad, use a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the surface. Ensure the gamepad is powered off and disconnected from the receiver before cleaning.
