Gamepad lettered circle
A face button is one of the primary buttons on a video game controller, positioned on the front face where the right thumb rests.
These typically include the lettered or shaped buttons—A, B, X, Y on Xbox controllers; cross, circle, square, triangle on PlayStation.
Face buttons handle most in-game actions, distinguished from triggers, bumpers, and directional controls: Press the bottom face button to jump.
