Is it worth adding six buttons and two analogue sticks, do you use them?

Hey all.

So I’m upgrading my old DMG PiZero build to a Zero 2 and a tinkerboy v3 pcb. I had issues with noise from my amp and also phantom button presses with my old teeny controlled pcb.

Whilst doing it I thought about adding analogue sticks, I’ve only played nes, snes and sega games before but was tempted to try and push the zero2 to play others.

So I’m wondering whether you guys think it’s worth two analogue sticks and the extra buttons? I’ve got an L1/R1 and currently ABXY.

I’d appreciate your thoughts.

Complicated? What to build? No not at all. I’ve done a lot of soldered smd stuff in the past and did electronics at uni.

My reasons for upgrade was the teensy controller I had previously had an issue with phantom down and right D pad button presses. I traced this to the controller but as it’s surface soldered I cba to remove it so just bought a tinkeyboy board.

My reason for the thread is simply due to whether it’s worth fitting two analogue sticks and whether people use them.
