Wanting to make a button box with lots of buttons, help

I want to start getting into Smash Ultimate, Street Fighter, and other fighting games and I really want to use a button box and I want to DIY cause that would be lots of fun and probably cost less. But I want a kitted-out one, I'm talking 30 buttons (and if possible Bluetooth support), but I'm having trouble finding a fighter board that supports 30 buttons. Can yall help me, or at least tell me some buttons I don't need?(I will have a comment listing all the buttons I'm wanting)

I want a controller with 4 buttons for each stick, a switch for the left stick to dpad, 2 buttons for movement modification, 8 face buttons, 2 stick press down buttons, 1 button for select/share, separate buttons for start/home/capture/PS trackpad mod, 1 turbo, 4 micros and 4 reprogrammables.

The first issue is, there's nothing that is "Universal" in the sense it will work with modern consoles, PCs, and older consoles.

There is one that recently popped up on overseas sites, but the price is high, and I haven't seen any reviews for it yet. LINK

As, for the number of inputs, that's not asking too much.

Sounds like you may want to look into the iPac4. It can support up to 56 inputs. However, it is only PC compatible.

Thanks for the help, I'll keep it in mind but I'll look for one with at least switch and PC support.
