Great content! I used the same interfaces to build a D-Pad style input instead of the analog stick.
The official unity On-Screen Stick uses these interfaces too, but doesn't work with PlayerInput & MultiplayerEventSystem.
💯

Thank you very much. This is a very well put together tutorial. It would be appreciated in the future if you include a link to the code as text rather than it only being available in the video.

It is a bit more difficult to read your code as u were using :, ?.
I rather choose to code without these by agreeing make the code line more to make it more readable.
But thanks anyway, i got the point.
