The term "Face Buttons" refers to a group of four buttons located on the front panel or faceplate of a game controller. These buttons are typically used for basic actions such as moving, jumping, attacking and interacting with objects in a video game. The positioning of these buttons allows players to easily access them while holding the controller, making it easier to perform various actions without having to look down at the screen or use other input methods like joysticks or directional pads.
