Title: World record for controller with most buttons?

with keys being used by all fingers, I think this would cause a lot of accidental typing

I would have a problem using that, because I have a lazy controller grip.  It's hard to describe exactly, but I like to hold a controller loosely and with my fingers off what would normaly be considered the ergonomically correct positions. (or, to put it another way, I'm uncomfortable holding a PS2 controller properly such that my fingers would be covering all shoulder buttons)

The guy didn't exactly impress me with his gaming ability in that demonstration, not that I would likely do better with a keyboard and mouse.

...I'd want one for NaNoWriMo. Just to be able to brag on the forums there about writing my novel with a GAMEPAD. xD

Doesn't the controller for Steel Battalion beat it out?  If not, it should at least come close...

I think not. A lot of it is switches and stuff rather than buttons. Besides, if we consider extrapolated controller shapes, this would be the real winner:
