I didn't even realize till like last year that the big square button in the middle was also a touchpad. I kept going into the map in farcry and it would keep wiggling around. Didn't realize till later that you can use that pad as a cursor

If you connect it to a PC, it works like a laptop touchpad.

Unpopular Opinion: The Playstation Controllers dont have an X button. Everyone should be calling it cross and would save so much confusion. Like there is a triangle, a circle, a square and another geometric shape. Hate having to specify when playing couch coop with friends if they have to press the xbox x or the playstation x. I know with nintendo people it gets even worse.
I hate that Xbox stole the buttons from Nintendo and then swapped them over just to fuck with me more.
Between Sony, MS, Nintendo and Gamecube Nintendo, the X button can be in four different places.
RIP Sega
Well, SNES had YXBA first I guess. But I forgot that Sega also evolved from 12 to ABC to XYZABC, back to XYAB.
It's weird watching these controller layouts come in and change over time, and then Sony just go "no, like this" and suddenly that's the standard. DualShock really was a great design and a massive improvement for anyone with adult sized hands.

On one hand yeah sure back in the day I get it.
Now dang near every game is press x to continue/begin so the start button just begs a question.
A is the only button
Atari?
On Xbox we have Big X and Little X too!
My primary gaming is on Xbox and I still can't tell the hamburger and copy button icons apart without looking at them when a game refers to them in a tutorial or menu.

In another timeline, Windows 95 introduced the 'Options' button, a revolutionary breakthrough in graphical interface design.
It's the start button, I agree
