And lastly, at the back of the controller you’ll find the Left/Right Shoulder Buttons and Triggers (L/R/ZL/ZR).
The controller comes equipped with 4 LED Indicators that inform the users about: Controller Power, Button Mapping, Player Number and Low Battery Warning. The 4 LED Indicators are centered at the lower part of the controller’s body.
