The controller has a familiar layout: two clickable analog sticks, a D‑pad, four face buttons (A/B/X/Y style), two shoulder buttons, two analog triggers, and three menu buttons. The built‑in rechargeable battery lasts over 50 hours and charges via USB‑C. A magnetic light strip on the back doubles as a controller identifier and a battery level indicator.
