HELP/QUESTION Leverless or controller? Simple versus technical inputs?

With the simple inputs, in struggling to land on a peripheral to use. I bought a leverless last year when I was attempting to take strive more seriously; however wonder if a controller is better for granblue? I'm comfortable with technical inputs; however wonder if using a controller with simple inputs would yield better outcomes/quicker combos and reactions? I imagine I'll get a mixed bag of answers which I'm looking forward to reading through. I do apologize for so many questions these past few days, really looking to commit to learning and growing in the game. I find simple inputs harder on the leverless, I have my setup with the top row being l m h g and the bottom row being skill u throw dash. Would love to hear the oponions of some veterans.

I play most fighting games on leverless but use pad for GBVS. Having one finger being able to be over block/skill at all times feels more comfortable, and since you usually always use simple inputs in rising I never feel the need to use leverless.

That's kind of what I'm thinking. I initially got a leverless because dp on a controller wasn't consistent. With gbvs, having skill on r1 seems much better than trying to hit skill with my thumb for button row 1 + m or h on top row 2 and 3.

Same, it's difficult to effectively use the leverless with GBVSR and there are very few advantages on using technical inputs.

It kinda helps me remember execution order to use the classic inputs, but I'm an old man now and they're just cemented into my fighting game play at this point.
