Shrug... Maybe they really wanted to delineate between a button and a trigger.

This actually isn't accurate if we're talking about the Xbox One controller.

Per the official website, the button is called "menu", and the button is called "view".
These buttons were indeed called "start" and "back" on the Xbox 360, but to the best of my knowledge, Microsoft renamed them in order to make them as different as possible from Playstation's "start" and "select".

P.S. Gotta love markdown, right?

Thanks @DJStompZone. You are 100% correct regarding Xbox One/X/S for those two buttons. The layout in the top diagram for those buttons is for the 360.

There is no official name for the right stick press/click it seems, I don't see any official doc calling it right stick button, can anybody point me to an official saying? It's for certification.
