Just a thread for anyone else out there who prefers the layout of a 6-button controller to the more dominant ABXY layout. What I wouldn't give for a dual stick, dual trigger gamepad that also had six face buttons.

Never used one of these before so I don't know how well they work in practice, but more buttons are always welcome as far as I'm concerned.
I have the one in the photo (an 8bitdo m30) and it's pretty good for most games. What tends to be the stumbling point is how many buttons the game expects you to press simultaneously: pressing A + X + L is a lot easier than A + X + Z. As long as you're not expected to mash though having the extra face buttons is just great.
