I think it would be better to put the "corner buttons" (L,R-like buttons) one on top of the other vertically, i.e. so that you can use the index and middle finger to press both of them.

Advantages:
-Avoids accidentally pressing one button while pressing the other.
-Allows having a finger on all 4 corner buttons at the same time.

P.S.: Why are there black dots on the joysticks and the multi-directional cross?

Sorry for such a late reply.

The model had some issue, but it will be remade soon anyhow. Also the LR buttons will be moved.
