Simple solution -- don't put them into the controller in the first place. Either lay them just off to the side (so you can look down for easy reference), or memorize what's on them to begin with. Most of them aren't that complicated, and many of them that are (say, Utopia or AD&D: Treasure of Tarmin) aren't fast-action games, so you can sneak a peek at your leisure.
Doing so also makes it easier to use Intellivision II controllers; I prefer the original's chiclet-buttons to the remake's membrane-keypad.
