Remarks

Button input is mapped to different key values for various devices, including game controllers.

This table provides the mapping detail for a game controller.

Button	50	GamepadDPadUp/Down/Left/Right	GamepadDPadUp/Down/Left/Right or NavigationUp/Down/Left/Right
	GamepadLeftThumbstickButton/Up/Down/Left/Right or GamepadRightThumbstickButton/Up/Down/Left/Right	GamepadLeftThumbstickButton/Up/Down/Left/Right or GamepadRightThumbstickButton/Up/Down/Left/Right or NavigationUp/Down/Left/Right

Properties

DeviceId	Gets a unique ID for the input device that generated this key event (not supported for all input devices).
Handled	Gets or sets a value that marks the routed event as handled. A `true` value for `Handled` prevents most handlers along the event route from handling the same event again.
Key	Gets the virtual-key associated with the event. Depending on the input device, this can be a mapped value. For raw, unmapped event data, see the OriginalKey property.
KeyStatus	Gets a structure value that reports various system-detected characteristics of the key press, including repeat count and menu status.
OriginalKey	Gets the original, unmapped virtual-key associated with the event. Depending on the input device, the input button might be mapped to a different key value. For the mapped event value, see the Key property.
OriginalSource	Gets a reference to the object that raised the event. This is often a template part of a control rather than an element that was declared in your app UI. (Inherited from RoutedEventArgs)
