# GCInputDirectionalCardinalDpad

The name of the controller’s optional secondary directional pad element.

```
let GCInputDirectionalCardinalDpad: String
```

## Discussion

This input element is an eight-way digital directional pad with physical up, down, left, and right buttons. For the second-generation Siri Remote and later, this represents the outer ring of the touch surface.
