I just got my Eternal Rival S Rank enclosure and I’m really pleased with it. Now just to hit the training room.

wow, looks really slick.
I use a stick, but I am really interested in trying out a hit box some day. Any suggestions?
Remove all the unnecessary keys from a keyboard and try playing the rest. ASD for up down left, spacebar for jump. Map atk bottons to any keys on the right. Test it out for 10matches and see if you even like it.
Definitely the smart way to go about it. For me, I’m playing on Xbox using the standard controller and the Modern controls are great but I really wanted to learn Classic.
With a controller, for classic, the issue is not the atk buttons, it's the dpad. You can easily use shoulder buttons for HP/HK. You need to find a dpad you are comfortable doing motion inputs on. All work mostly fine. Just find the one you like.
I've seen some people suggest trying on a keyboard before investing in a stickless layout but I jumped in head first.
Eternalrival.com has a lot of options for making your own enclosure, traditional and all kinds of stickless. You could probably put together a diy controller for less than the Hitbox but if you spring for an upgraded enclosure or a universal fightboard then you'll probably end up spending a little more.
But, you do end up with a nice piece of personalized kit and putting it together yourself is half the fun.
I went through Arcadeshock.com for all the electronics and buttons.
