shoulder buttons
Gamepad top inputs
Shoulder buttons are controls positioned on the top edge of a video game controller, pressed with the index fingers.
Most modern controllers have two pairs: the outer bumpers (or L1/R1) and the inner triggers (L2/R2).
They're used for aiming, shooting, blocking, or accessing secondary functions: Hold the shoulder button to sprint.
