Six face buttons for fighters and arcade layouts
D6 Dreamcast places six action buttons across the face, reducing reliance on shoulder combinations in fighting games and arcade ports. Kailh micro switches sit beneath both the face buttons and D-pad for a distinct, direct actuation. The D-pad can operate in left-stick, right-stick, or D-pad mode, allowing its output to match different games and platforms.
Configurable C and Z controls
Two selectable C/Z modes let the extra face buttons behave as L/R shoulder inputs or as dedicated C and Z buttons. That makes the pad useful for Dreamcast software with its own six-button expectations as well as PC and Switch fighters mapped around modern shoulder conventions. The control choices are the point of the D6: it is a fightpad first, not a dual-stick general-purpose controller.
2.4GHz wireless with Dreamcast memory support
The D6 uses a low-latency 2.4GHz wireless connection and is compatible with original VMUs and 4X memory accessories. USB-C handles charging, and the official package lists the controller, quick-start manual, and charging cable. Black and white are separate color variants of the same six-button controller.
