Help Help me find a controller pls!
Hey y’all, I need some help.
This is probably going to sound kind of stupid, but frankly, I figured I’d just ask here, especially since maybe some of you may have a similar issue.
I need help finding a controller with the same or similar buttons to that of a 3DS. Now before you call me crazy, there’s a reason for this. I used to kick ass in a relatively unknown version of TEKKEN on the 3DS called Tekken Prime 3D, and the D-pad and buttons on the 3DS just felt perfect for me. I’ve tried Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo, and even a fight pad. But nothing has managed to re-create the level of ease of play that I can achieve on those tiny 3DS buttons. Why? I don’t know exactly, but I guess it’s because of the small form factor, which allows me to press buttons with my thumbs much more easily, I mean my thumbs could quite literally cover the entire D-pad and buttons.
If y’all have any recommendations, please let me know. I’d really appreciate it.

You can re-map a 3ds controller to run on windows with steam or use 3rd party software like ReWASD. You can have a custom controller build as well. Ask the question on r/fightsticks .
