I've got 1/2 the notion to design a control pad in a 3D modeling program, the D-Pad, and buttons.... Then, if/when I ever get a 3D printer - print out the parts, then EITHER obtain some clear plastic/polyester film type of (custom) printed circuit for the contacts for the push-buttons (with a sheet of hard plastic behind it - instead of the usual silicon circuit board), and have those flexible circuit sheets (I have no idea what the official name for them is) slip into thin connector slots that connect to... (hold that thought) or just use some tiny micro leaf switches for the buttons and directions and have them all wired to a small central... PCB that has all the directional, button, and ground contact points. My best bet would be to either find such a device (for the control) or hack (as in literally hack off the unessential areas of) an existing controller, then connect (I've rambled on long enough here) everything.
