Directional Pad

The D-Pad controls the direction in which the character moves. It is also used
for navigating menu screens and is the preferred control for precision directional
macro moves.

Analog Sticks

The two analog sticks each control two axes (X-axis and Y-axis). Different software
titles will allow you to modify the way that the analog sticks react in the games.
The analog stick allows you to move your character with great movement depth.
Analog joysticks offer more variability in motion than the D-pad and are the
preferred method of control for many driving and action games. The left analog
controller is the most commonly used analog joystick for games.
