There's 3 tactile buttons and a hold switch. You can change what the buttons do. I personally had the middle button as pause/play and the left and right buttons back track/forward track, and rewind/fast forward when held. I don't think you can change the buttons so they go through menus, but I never tried so I'm not 100%.
I had it for about 2 months before selling, which I regret, but I needed to due to limited funds.
