# On Button Input node

> [!NOTE]
> The On Button Input [!include[nodes-note-manual](./snippets/input-manager/nodes-note-manual.md)]

The On Button Input node listens for a specified action on a virtual button from your Input Manager configuration. [!include[nodes-desc-end](./snippets/input-manager/nodes-desc-end.md)]

## Example graph usage 

In the following example, the On Button Input node listens for the user to press the button or key assigned to the **Jump** axes in the Input Manager. When the user presses the button, the On Button Input node triggers the Rigidbody Add Force node, which adds an **Impulse** Force to the Rigidbody's **Y** axis:

![An image of the Graph window. An On Button Input node uses an inline value of Jump for its Name input port. Its Action Input port is set to Down. Its Trigger output port connects to the Invoke input port on a Rigidbody Add Force node. The Rigidbody Add Force node uses an inline value of This for its Target, an inline value of 4 for its Y, and has its Mode set to Impulse.](images/vs-nodes-events-on-button-input-example.png)

The Add Force node makes the **Target** Rigidbody lift into the air.
