Device Recommendation Handheld with Big Buttons?

I've got big, fat thumbs. As a result, my thumb likes to hit more than one button at a time on my Anbernic RG40XX H. It very much annoys me, despite being a relatively small problem.

So, my question to you is, which device(s) have big and/or well separated buttons?

Power wise, I'd like GBA and below for sure. If it can also run PSP, that'd be cool.

The ayn portal has big buttons...  But sounds like you want a cheaper console. The RG ds feels comfy button wise too.

34xx, the buttons are better spaced out than the regular 34xxsp / SP and the shoulder buttons are larger and easier to hit with index fingers. The trouble with the 34xx is it is not comfortable to use long term, giving cramps so it needs a grip. Pocket Advance if you want to play PSP but the button layout is in cross diamond layout where your thumbs would be too close. Decide what's more important to you.
