How long did it take you to adapt to leverless?

I'm a lowly PS5 pad player in my early 40's and I find that no matter how I map my buttons, my inputs aren't clean. Neither the thumbstick or the d-pad really do it for me. Since I'm a fossil, my first instinct was to go stick because I'm old enough to remember playing in arcades. But leverless is the new hotness. All of which is to say: how long did it take you to adjust from pad/stick to leverless?
