Is STM32F746G-DISCO input button up, down, right, left, or just a push button?

How do I know if the button in the board is just a push button, or also has up,down,right left capabilities?

Hello,

On STM32F746G-DISCO board, the User button (blue) is only a simply push button not a joystick.

From the board schematics:

This is a symbol of a joystick from another board schematics:

What does the User Manual tell you? And/or the schematics?

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

Well, the buttons only have a blue and black extension to make them easier to press. Despite the wobbly impression, which is reminiscent of a micro joystick, they are still pure push buttons.

But as @Andrew Neil said: the UM1907 lists them as "Two user and reset push-buttons".
