Action Pad features seven standard programmable buttons and two triggers that can be programmed for up to 16 combined functions at a time, and an easy-to-reach throttle control. In addition, gamers are treated to a precise and comfortable 8-way digital D pad, an extremely responsive analog mini-joystick, and a convenient plug-and-play USB interface. It includes a dedicated Mode button which allows the user to quickly change the roles of the D-Pad and analog mini-joystick in mid-play — a convenient feature in many games, including sports titles and the popular new cross-genre games.
