Gamepad UI / Controller Prompts Pack
A downloadable asset pack
I needed to make buttons for UI and prompts for current and future projects. Here is that pack. So go ahead and use it in your game and software projects. Doesn't matter if it's commercial, non-commercial or personal projects.
CC0 Licence but if you'd like to support me feel free to donate or credit in your project.
Most buttons fit within a 16x16 space.
Palette: Rosy-42
Pack includes buttons/joysticks for:
- Playstation
- Xbox
- Switch
- Some alternative buttons
- Smaller buttons for the main buttons
- Keyboard and Mouse
Will update as I update it myself. This includes any new gamepads/platforms such as Mobile.

Hey, I missed that you updated this so quickly to include the different PS Share button styles! Amazing. Thanks again, happy to pay for this pack.
;)
Got me looking at adding some stuff for the other systems too.
and thank you!!!!
Sorry if I'm just missing something, but does this pack include the PS5 DualSense Share and Start buttons? I'm pretty sure I have the most up to date controller and it uses icons for both, and I'm not sure how to represent that.
I guess the share button isn't usually remappable so I'll ignore that, and for the start button I'll re-use the Xbox start button? That seems like it'll translate properly.
Thanks for the pack!
They exist!
They are the Share (S) and Options (O) buttons that are included.
Well technically made from the PS4 controller but they share similar buttons.
I also do have older style Start and Select from previous Sony systems under the alternative layouts.
Ah, I see! Thanks for clarifying.
Personally, I would not have known what "S" or "O" meant from looking at it on the image nor in-game, and I don't think I've ever seen those images used for those buttons before, typically I see buttons tilted left or right respectively and sometimes with the Select/Share or Start/Options icon inside or directly above. That said, my experience is only one of many, so maybe my understanding is outdated or in the minority!
Like I said, I'm not sure I'll even need these buttons for my current projects as they shouldn't be remapped I guess, but if you decide to add anything additional in the future, I'll continue to pass money your way because I love the style.
Thanks!
Hey thanks.
Maybe I'll have a look around at what the PS5 has been doing lately for UI.
I haven't touched any consoles in along time and maybe should look up more recent stuff.
Maybe I'll come up with some alternative layouts for systems :D
Edit: I would love to call them Select and Start still. However some guys in suits and sunglasses showed up to my house wearing PS logo pins. I'm not allowed to speak of what I was
scoldedtold about until 2076. (I kid :P)Well, I’ll keep buying any updates to this pack you put out!
And yeah, I still cant believe they aren’t Start and Select anymore… end of an era. ;(
Thanks again!
Muchisimas gracias buen hombre, no sabes cuanto me a ayudado en mi proyecto :,(
You're welcome. Glad you found a use for it :D
Nice looking pack! Does this contain any left and right trigger buttons (e.g L, ZL, R, ZR for the switch)?
Thanks!
Also it does contain those buttons.
Solid input prompt work! everything is simple and clear, really well done!
Cheers from a fellow pixel artist!
Thanks so much!
Thank you very much!
No, thank you for finding use for it :D
How would you like to be credited? Is there a standard? Should I put the link to this page on Itch-IO or some email / social media? I would like to reference you correctly both in the project credits and on the Steam sales page
Either my itch.io page or the link to the pack itself. I'm pretty chill how you'd want to do it, I dont really use socials often so I'd prefer the itch page :D
Hello, I have downloaded your material, rest assured that I will give you credit for this and I hope to be able to help you monetarily later on
I’ll be using this and also credit you for it since it’s a rather good pack. I might add a small adjustment to the controller sticks.
Awesome! Glad you found use of the pack :D
Hello, we have downloaded your material, very beautiful, very exquisite, hope to use in our game, of course, we will mark your name! Thank you very much!
thanks for the compliment. Hope you find good use. :D
When my game is released on steam, thank you very much!
I recommend you to add 16x16 tag, if it is 16x16 size
Was there a font you used for the keyboard prompts or did you just draw each letter/number yourself? (If you used a font may I know which one you used?)
If you're talking about the keyboard letters and numbers and icons (like arrow keys). That's all done by myself, but if you look at the Keyboard png or aseprite file you should see the (drawn) letters and numbers below the keyboard layouts in the empty space. Unfortunately I never made it a font file, but it is there.
Oh ya I see that, thanks for the info
I'll use this for my game, I'll put your name in the credits :) and thank you very much.
Glad you can find a use for it :D
Great pack. Wanted to let you know I am going to use it in my games next big update.
Thanks :D. Glad you could find a use for it!
Hey! The update I was talking about is out now! I didn't use these Icons very much, but I thought it was worth mentioning nonetheless.
bro, im using this for my game, may i?? this is just amazing resource!
absolutely! That's what it's here for :D
thanks for the compliment
THANKS!!! <3 ithanks so so much dude!
I seriously underestimated how much I needed this lol, I picked this up a while back just cuz I saw it and wasn't sure if I would actually end up using it, however it was exactly what I needed and fits my game perfectly lol, I'm actually releasing my game tomorrow and they're used extensively, here's the link if you wanna check it out (Note the link won't work until tomorrow when the game releases) https://legendaryswordsman2.itch.io/stock-the-shelves
This made me happy reading this today. Makes me happy people are finding a use for this. I'll take a look at the game when it's out tomorrow, and thank you so much for downloading the pack!
It may just be coincidence but these prompts seriously fit in with the art style of my game, its funny how sometimes you'll go searching for months for the perfect asset for something, then for other things you'll just stumble upon it without even really looking for it lol, anyway my games out now! (It's also my first ever game release so pretty exciting for me lol)
i'll add your name in the credits. thank you very much!
using this for my main project, great work man! I've added you to the credits :D
:D thanks so much, hope it's what ya needed!

Thank you very much for the assets I’ve used them in my college game named The Wooden Castle, a 2D platformer with a grim and violent background.
Thanks for the assets. I used some icons for my game Roguestar
you're welcome :D
and thanks for using!
Awesome Pack
thanks :D

Thanks man.
Doesn't require crediting me, but I appreciate when people do :D
Hi there! I recently used these assets for my latest game, and figured I'd let ya know and show ya! :D
I also included your name in the credits!

Thanks for the help!
These are pretty nice! It doesn’t seem to have icons for the Start and Back (Start/Select) buttons though, nor some of the control keys on the keyboard such as Insert and Delete, do you have a set somewhere that includes them (or failing that, would I be able to commission some)?
Hi there.
For Start/Back/Select I have them included as the modern version of the buttons. So they're not the standard back and select you'd see on older generation of controllers, although I did include the Xbox 360 variant in the xbox alternative layout (which is apart of the xbox named file or the aseprite file). I have considered updating the layouts to maybe include the older style layouts, especially the playstation section. I did leave a lot of buttons off the keyboard but mostly that's just from missing text I didn't do, you could always use one of the blank keys I provided with your own INS or DEL text.
I appreciate the comment, I will most likely add more buttons/layouts/options in the near future, maybe work on some over the weekend here.
Okay, I didn’t realize that the design changed - but now that I look closer at my Xbone controller I see that’s what they are now. Good to know, thank you!
Thanks for share,I love it
Hey, your asset pack is awesome, I would create a fighting game using your pack, I hope you like it when is published!!!
Thanks man.
Good luck, send it my way when it's published, would love to try it out.
Ok, next week I put the preorder for $1
Please, can you rate my game "AlienRun"?
Hello, I would like to use this asset in my game, which I want to publish. Can I use it and do I need to give attribution? Thanks
Hi there.
Go for it, that's what it's here for.
No you do not need to give attribution/credit, but I'm thankful if you choose to.
Okay thanks
