What is a "directional pad"?
A directional pad (D-pad) is a control button found on many game controllers, consisting of four directional buttons arranged in a cross or square shape. It allows players to move characters or navigate menus by pressing up, down, left, or right. The D-pad is commonly used in 2D games or games that require precise movement, offering a more straightforward way to control movement compared to analog sticks. It provides quick, responsive input and is often preferred in games that involve simple or grid-like movement, such as platformers or puzzle games.
Example
