I need a good gamepad control scheme.

I finally got a gamepad, and I've been playing Spiral Knights on a gamepad for a while now, but my control scheme is a little bit uncomfortable.
The gamepad I'm using is a Wii U Pro Controller https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii_U_Pro_Controller
This is the control scheme that I'm using right now:
Left Analog Stick - Moving and Facing
D-pad - Quickslots
Select - Toggle Map
Start - Toggle Windows
A - Attack/Action
B, Y, & X - Sprite Skills
ZL - Strafe
ZR - Defend
L - Modifier
R - Switch Weapons
I want a better, more comfortable control scheme. Any suggestions?

The keyboard thing was before I had a gamepad.
Should graveyard this thread and I continue the thread about what key to use for facing?

Your other gamepad thread predates your keyboard thread, but let's not fight about it.
Your other gamepad thread doesn't contain much information, so you might as well just continue this one now.
I don't use a gamepad, so I can't help much. Best wishes.

The other gamepad thread was when I was planning on getting a controller... but let's ignore that. I'll graveyard it.
and thank you.
You already have a thread about what key to use for facing on a gamepad. Ideally you would have just continued that thread, since it's about the same topic.
You also have a thread about control schemes for keyboards. You never really seemed to follow up on the points made there. Was it of any value?
