Recommend me a controller. (lemmy.world)

Hal Effect sticks are a must. I'm looking for a controller because my PS4 controller has some pretty horrible stick drift. I don't want a repeat of that.

PlayStation layout is also a must. Never understood the appeal of the wonky xbox layout.

Must also ship to Europe. Preferably a company from Europe. But outside of Europe also works if shipping and customs don't add twice the controller's cost to the price.

I'm asking this in Linux Gaming, so obviously must work with Linux (though so far I've had less issues getting controllers to work on my Linux desktop than I've had with Windows).

The new 8bitdo Pro 2 gamepads have hall effect stick, a symmetrical layout and are available in Europe. Made in China, though. I have … some of them. Love especially the translucent purple one.

I have the predecessor the sn30pro+ and I’ll definitely replace it with the pro 2 when the time comes.
