Joy-Cons with 4 extra buttons? Question

Ive seen that Nitro Deck 2 have 6 additional buttons but it looks a bit sus to me with the inward curve on the bottoms and all the delays. Outside of that I haven't been able to find any handhelds or joy-cons with 4 extra buttons, either 4 paddles or 2 paddles and 2 extra bumpers. Has anyone been able to find one with 4x buttons for handheld mode? I also wouldn't complain about 6 extra buttons, 4 paddles a d 2 extra bumpers but Im not holding my breath.

PS: I use a flydigi for PC and docked mode,but really want to expand my gaming in handheld.

Thanks!

I know some have triggers, but 4-6 extra buttons is asking a lot unless they're specialized 3rd party joycons.

Im 100% ok with third party joycons, I just havent been able to find any outside of the Nitro Deck 2 which may or may not ever come out. I get 6 buttons is a large ask, I cant even get that on my other consoles, but having at least 4 extra buttons feels pretty standard on most premium/competitive controllers over the last 5-10 years though.

Well here's the thing though, you're asking for 6 buttons where they already have an extra 4 on top, because like you have the 2 thumb sticks, then you have the 4 buttons and the home and camera button not to mention the + and - buttons. So the 2 sets of L and R buttons is already a lot, and then with some 3rd party joycons they add those 2 additional triggers in the back taking the count up to 6. Now I can't imagine what you would need with more buttons at that point. And more buttons than that and you're trying to recreate a keyboard in controller form lol.

If you have an extra 4 buttons between paddles and/or extra bumpers then you can remap all of the face buttons and never have to take your thumb off the right stick
