I'm a controller player, I'll admit it gets fiddly, but how I've got it set up works for me when I play AST. However, I've spent a little time trying to optimise my settings to get it as fluid as I can across 2 cross bar pages then get used to playing like that (it doesn't take long, but feels weird to start). There's options to bring up a different set of abilities if you combine both back buttons and which set of abilities you get depends on which back button you hit firsts. There's also an option for double tapping for a similar effect, though I find the former more reliable and less clunky than "RB + A", "RB+X" etc. This in effect makes it not too awkward to access up to 32 buttons (if I added the double tap on top I'd get an additional 8, but I could get into the flow of doing that and 32 slots is plenty). At least I find this helps me play jobs on the controller that have more buttons.
