I am making a Raspberry Pi 4 portable and am having trouble finding out how to get certain things to work like buttons, joysticks, etc. What are some things that you need for a raspberry pi portable?

Unfortunately the question is too open ended to really answer.

First you have to decide what games you want to run first. That will help you decide the number of buttons/joysticks you need.
Then you pick the software you want/need to run that game.

After that you can finally choose how you want to connect them. The options are pretty numerous: usb mouse, usb keyboard, usb gamepad, something Bluetooth, some kind of micro controller, or directly wired to the gpio. Some methods are easier than others.

And that doesn't even mess with stuff like touch screen digitizers.

The best part about raspberry pi is the decent documentation created by other people that have figured those issues out before you.
