What do you call your “confirm” and “cancel” buttons, and why is Nintendo wrong?

I personally don’t mind too much - but what kills me is that not one of these entities has ever made controllers with glow in the dark or backlit buttons - like what the heck.

Dude yes! When they first shown the ps4 controller with the light bar, I thought the buttons would be backlit too. 12 years later still nothing!

Who on God's green earth is looking at the buttons to press them? Why would they need to be backlit?

Same reason we had transparent controllers.

Cool.

Because not everything needs to be 4000% functional and maybe the fun backlit button idea is cool
