There aren't really that many buttons. Some of them are rarely used.
You mostly only need normal attack, charge attack, block, and jump.
Upgrade, map, muoso attack are all rarely used.
I don't even remember what other buttons you actually use in battle.
I do agree that controlling the camera is slightly annoying though, if that's what you meant by 'off'.
I use a PS3 controller. The cool thing about the config menu is that you can hit a button on the controller to assign it, unlike in other games where you have to either test the controller or remember which button is which.
I have my controls set as:
1 (Square) = Normal Attack
2 (Triangle) = Charge attack
3 (Circle) = Muoso Attack
4 (X) = Jump
5 (L1) = Upgrade
6 (R1) = Block
7 (L2) = Mini-map
8 (R2) = Summon Lieutenant
9 (Select) = Chat
10 (Start) = Help (wat dis do?)
12 (R3) = Switch Right stick mode thingy
