ProTouch Buttons are our rear button system built for players who want full control without paddle flex or accidental presses. If you like deliberate, consistent inputs, this is the rear control upgrade that feels locked in.
Faster access to key actions like jump, crouch, reload, and swap while your thumbs stay on the sticks. Not a gimmick. Just cleaner control.

WHAT THEY ARE
What Are ProTouch Buttons?
ProTouch Buttons are rear buttons added to the back of your Xbox controller. They mirror your face buttons so you can jump, crouch, reload, and swap weapon without taking your thumbs off the sticks.
Plain English
You keep aiming while doing actions. That is the whole advantage.
WHY THEY MATTER
Why Rear Buttons Change FPS Games
Stock controllers force a trade-off: either keep your thumb on the aim stick, or press face buttons. Rear buttons remove that trade-off.
Better aim while moving
You can jump, crouch, slide, and reload without losing aim control.
Cleaner movement combos
Movement becomes easier to repeat because your hands are not doing awkward claw presses.
Less hand strain
Many players move away from claw grip because rear buttons do the job properly.
More consistency
When fights get messy, rear buttons keep your inputs clean.
This upgrade does not aim for you. It removes the hand gymnastics that mess up your aim.
HOW THEY FEEL
How ProTouch Buttons Feel
ProTouch Buttons are for players who want rear controls that feel deliberate. The biggest difference vs paddles is how clean and controlled the press feels.
Deliberate presses
You press a button, it activates, done. That clean action is why some players prefer buttons over paddles.
Less accidental input
This is especially useful if you grip hard in gunfights and sometimes catch paddles without meaning to.
Tighter control
Ideal if you spam slide, crouch, or jump and want consistent timing.
Cleaner click feel
Great for players who hate paddle flex and want a more locked-in rear input.
Players who hate paddle flex, players who death-grip their controller, and players who want a cleaner click feel.
BUYER FIT
Who They Suit Best
Movement-heavy FPS players
If you jump and slide constantly, buttons keep it controlled and repeatable while you keep aiming.
- COD / Warzone
- Fortnite
- Apex
Competitive players who grip hard
If you squeeze the controller when you fight, paddles can misfire. Buttons tend to feel more reliable for that grip style.
- Less accidental presses
- Cleaner muscle memory
- More confidence in fights
If you rarely use jump or crouch mid-fight, you might not feel the full benefit. Rear buttons shine when you actually move and aim at the same time.
2 VS 4 BUTTONS
What Should You Choose?
You do not need four to get the main benefit. Two is the sweet spot for most FPS players.
2 buttons - most popular
Perfect for core movement actions.
- Jump
- Crouch / Slide
4 buttons - full control
Best if you want to barely touch face buttons.
- Jump
- Crouch / Slide
- Reload / Use
- Swap weapon
If you are new to rear buttons, start with 2. If you already know you hate taking your thumb off the stick, go 4.
