This actually isn't accurate if we're talking about the Xbox One controller.

Per the official website, the button is called "menu", and the button is called "view". These buttons were indeed called "start" and "back" on the Xbox 360, but to the best of my knowledge, Microsoft renamed them in order to make them as different as possible from Playstation's "start" and "select".

I also noticed that these buttons were missing in the diagram. Markdown is really cool BTW.

I see in this that it says LSB and RSB, I thought it was just LS and RS

LS (Left Stick) / RS (Right Stick) refer to the joystick's analog movement along the X (left-right) and Y (up-down) axes. These provide continuous input values rather than just on/off states.

LSB (Left Stick Button) / RSB (Right Stick Button) refer to pressing down on the stick like a button, which is a binary (on/off) input.

TL;DR:

  • LS/RS = Analog stick movement (X/Y axes).
  • LSB/RSB = Stick "click" (on/off).

@DJStompZone I see, it's just that the rest of the names align with the standard and these are off. Since the click function is LS/RS. For the position I don't know if there's any official terms. LX/LY/RX/RY is what I could imagine. But I figure that isn't the scope of this.

Bought my xbox game pass and windows 11 pro key from partner microsoft https://shorturl.at/qdWrB
They also giv me coupon code HYPEMD10
That working for me thanks

https://shorturl.at/qdWrB , because they have 100% reviews

The key arrived almost immediately after I completed the purchase, and the activation process was seamless. I simply entered the key, followed the instructions, and within minutes, my Windows 11 Pro was fully activated without any problems. It felt like a huge relief since I didn’t have to worry about expiration or activation errors.

And they partnered with microsoft
