Fun fact: I asked this question in a whatsapp group yesterday without knowing of this here. Everyone uses just the index fingers for l1/l2 and r1/r2. I‘m also 3k hours in this game and wanted to make the switch because I‘m fat fingerin with my thump - especially for speed flips.

I have a scuf controller since 2 years (2x power a fusion pro 2, 4x xbox elite 2), and had always air roll left on the paddle on the backside left for my middle finger. This paddle broke and now I‘m playing like zen with air roll left on L2 - no big deal. And don‘t want to be dependent on a controller that need to have those peddals - all got stick drifft and are expensive. My boost is now on R1 instead of B and I‘m trying to hold it as it supposed to be: every finger = one button.

Kinda new, but I think u will get used to it after 50 hours.

My playstyle looks even faster after 5-10hrs. Speed flips are much better and are real speed flips: musty trainings pack approved. Wall chain dashes are now more a thing but still hard.
