## Information

Depending on the system you are playing, the button prompts might not match the buttons on your physical controller.

## Xbox Games


The Xbox layout is used by Xbox Controllers, Steam Deck, Rog Alley, and many generic third-party PC controllers and Xbox clone controllers.

**Xbox - Button Layout:**

| Button Placement  | Button |Name |
| :---              | :---:  |:---: |
| North             |  <img src="../../wiki_icons/binding_icons/RD-button-y.png" width="30">   |Y |
| West              |  <img src="../../wiki_icons/binding_icons/RD-button-x.png" width="30">    |X |
| East              |  <img src="../../wiki_icons/binding_icons/RD-button-b.png" width="30">  |B |
| South             |  <img src="../../wiki_icons/binding_icons/RD-button-a.png" width="30">   |A |


**Example:**

If you are playing a Xbox game that calls for the button `B` to be pressed, it corresponds to the right button.

## Nintendo Games

The Nintendo layout is used by Nintendo Controllers and other generic third-party Nintendo clone controllers.

## PlayStation Games

The PlayStation layout is used by PlayStation Controllers and other generic third-party PlayStation clone controllers.

**Playstation - Button Layout**<br>

| Button Placement  | Button      | Name |
| :---              | :---:       |:---: |
| North             |  <img src="../../wiki_icons/playstation/playstation-triangle.png" width="20"> |Triangle |
| West              |  <img src="../../wiki_icons/playstation/playstation-square.png" width="20">   |Square |
| East              |  <img src="../../wiki_icons/playstation/playstation-circle.png" width="20">   |Circle |
| South             |  <img src="../../wiki_icons/playstation/playstation-cross.png" width="20">    |Cross |

**Example:** 

If you are emulating a PlayStation game that calls for the button `Circle` to be pressed, it corresponds to the right button.

**Regional differences:**

Depending on the region of your PlayStation game, the buttons `Circle` and `Cross` switch the meaning for confirm and cancel, but they remain in the same physical location. 

Keep this in mind if you are used to exiting menus with a certain button and it works differently in some games.
