The action of the buttons and the directional pad are ok, they are more mushy then snappy and do not give very responsive physical feedback. The directional pad is generally pretty flat which is functional but not as comfortable as it could be. The A and B buttons are nicely domed and are comfortably large for a portable console, allowing both buttons to be pressed with the thumb at the same time. The directional pad, A button, and B button are all hard plastic and the less used start and select buttons are a softer rubber that are positioned farther away to reduce the chance of an accidental button presses.
