At svennoJ, you tried having your pointer and middle finger on the two shoulder buttons and then angle your hand just so slightly for the A button? Saves me a lot of uncomfortable gaming. I ignore the X button completely.

I tried all available controller options (that I have)
Classic controller - can't reach the tiny lean buttons
Wii mote + nunchuck - direction buttons are for leaning, akward to press above A used for mode switch
Wii mote alone - same thing plus motion steering is laggy

So yeah, back to the gamepad, indeed with pointer and middle finger on the shoulder buttons.
The problem is the A button for accelerate. Either I have to uncomfortably bend my thumb to hold it down or press it with the middle of my finger while keeping off x. Both starts hurting after a while. All I need is R to accelerate and tap x or y for boost. Simple solution, yet I can't find anywhere if you can configure the controls (guess not), nor any support on their website.

It sucks the game is fun and the eShop doesn't take returns lol. I got gold on the cup with that desert track, although only placing 5th on Sunuhara. Managing to stay on the track is only half the work, the bastard AI likes to spin you around as soon as you slow down. On many tracks they simply bounce off the walls instead of take a corner. I did a bit of the next cup but had enough for now. Hopefully there will be a patch with config options. Would be nice to turn that announcer off as well :)

Funny thing, I found the way I had to blend my thumb to run really unconfortable the first day too, yet I have been playing the rest of days without even thinking on that, I guess I just got used too, I found the controls in general weird at first, now I find them very confortable, I even use L instead of X to switch colours, at first I though L was a bad place, but now I would not change it even if I could.
