Love using X/Y for short hop on the GC controller and ProU controller. Tried to use the shoulder buttons on both for jumping, but can not short hop reliably. I did have some luck with R on the ProU, but no other shoulder buttons. Do I just need to wear them in or is it something with the way the shoulder buttons work vs the abxy buttons? I do want them on shoulder buttons, I think. I just want to be able to short hop on demand. And use the ProU controller. Together.

Jump on shoulder buttons?? Never heard something like that. Personally, I would find that quite uncomfortable so I just stick to X/Y for jumping.

I am not sure how durable shoulder buttons are but I think they are less durable than face buttons.

Whatever works for you I guess.

Why not assign jump to a face button AND a shoulder button? You could use one for short-hopping and one for full jumping as you see fit.

So it seems as though there is no work around except to have one on face button as well. Thank you Kewb.

Different layouts work for different people. I personally use z on the gc controller for both short hopping and full jumps. In addition to just being a comfortable button for jump to me, I find how it doesn't press down very far really useful for short hopping.

I will have to give that a shot. Still figuring out which controller I want to use.
