When we talk about the layout of its buttons, we find two backlit joysticks On each side, on the left side below the joystick we will have the crosshead and on the right side also below the joystick the ABXY buttons, and on the back we will find the rest of the buttons.
In the Retroid Pocket 5 its ergonomic design makes it quite comfortable when playing, its joystick is also backlit and we will find them on the sides of the screen, only that in this case the crosshead will be above the joystick on the left side and the ABYX button panel the same on top of the right joystick, with respect to the rest of the buttons we will have them at the top.
