The controller features different button types for optimal feel: ABXY buttons use conductive rubber for silent operation and comfort during long sessions. The D-pad and triggers utilize half-trigger switches for no pre-travel and strong rebound. Rear buttons are dome switches for fast response and a snug fit.
