Can GetBindingDisplayString give a string such as "Button South" instead of "A"

This code will only give the key string of the actual gamepad plugged in such as “A” for XBOX controller:

        string keyTextstring = m_PlayerInput.actions[ActionName].GetBindingDisplayString(group: "Gamepad);

Is there a way to get the button names of a general gamepad like those in controller mapping? eg: Button South.
thank you!

I’m not sure if there is a better way but Binding.path will spit out a string like “/buttonSouth”.

You’d have to loop through the bindings:

foreach (var binding in m_PlayerInput.actions[ActionName].bindings)
{
     Debug.Log(binding.path);
}
