The feature, spotted by Windows Report, is tied to Enhanced Safe Browsing (Enhanced protection in Safe Browsing settings) and it’s off by default. If you don’t opt in, you won’t…

You could also resize them, or turn some off when a game doesn’t need every input. The description ties that flexibility to comfort and accessibility, including an option to invert the arrangement and move a D-pad to the right side. There’s no product name, release window, price, or platform detail attached to…
