  I think the Switch would be the better example, where up, down, left, and right are four distinct buttons, to be used like ABXY when playing in single Joycon multiplayer mode.

    That’s curious, because on the PlayStation 4 controller, the D-pad direction buttons are all part of a single piece of plastic.

    You can see this when pressing one direction button, as the other three tilt along with it. The sensors behind this plastic piece are separate, but as far as I know, that’s true in all D-pads.
