Category:Controllers with pressure-sensitive face buttons

Pressure-sensitive face buttons are a type of buttons found on certain gaming controllers, such as PlayStation controllers from the PS2 and PS3 generations and first Xbox. Unlike traditional buttons that are simply “on” or “off”, pressure-sensitive face buttons can detect differences in the amount of force applied to them. This means that they can measure the intensity or degree of pressure exerted on the buttons. The PlayStation controllers’ triangle, square, circle, and cross buttons are examples of pressure-sensitive face buttons.

Pressure-sensitive face buttons have been used in various games to enable nuanced gameplay mechanics. For example, they can be used to control the acceleration and braking of vehicles, perform light or strong attacks, execute partial or full turns, and more. The specific functionality of pressure-sensitive face buttons may vary depending on the game and its implementation.
