At the moment I use my 8bitdo pro2. It was kinda expensive but its a huge upgrade from my no name switch controllers and awful gamesube one from powera.

Also, the 3ds had really good controls (we don't talk about the c stick)

Also using 8bitdo Pro 2, I like it. Bluetooth connection is somewhat crusty -- for some reason, games think that I'm holding LT, despite me not pressing it. Maybe it's a Linux Mint thing, I dunno. Works perfectly wired, though

Never had any issues

I'm using a Thrustmaster Eswap X Pro. The joystick and dpad modules are hot swappable and can be put in any orientation you prefer. They sell replacement joystick modules for $20, which is nice because you don't have to replace the whole controller if one gets stick drift.

I've been enjoying the GameSir G7 for a while. It's wired but I kind of prefer that. My first G7 had a faulty left stick in the first two months. I think it was faulty from the beginning but I just didn't notice it. I sent them a video of the issue and they replaced it outright.

It's a bit smaller than my Xbox elite controller and it feels pretty great. I like the clicky dpad and the two back buttons. Stick tension is nice as well.

I'd like to see trigger stops but they haven't done that yet. I'd also like to have clicky face buttons so I'm considering one of their khaleid controllers. Those are minor nitpicks, though. This controller has been terrific.

I hated the Xbox controller when it first came out, probably because my child-sized hands couldn't reach the buttons comfortably. So it was Playstation style for a long time.

Now as an adult I've switched over to the Xbox style (easier to plug and play for Steam gaming) and I like it a lot. It feels a lot more durable than any other controller I can remember using. Though I feel the size and weight of the controller makes it slightly more difficult to use the bumper and trigger buttons compared to PS controllers, it's not a big deal because I'm not playing FPS these days.

Both styles are cool. Tho I have a slight preference for symmetrical sticks

Not practical with anything else, but the Gamcube controller was so comfy. Def part of the 8bitdo ultimate gang now.

GameCube ones are nice

But powera can eat shit

Steam Controller is a flawed masterpiece that I wish we had gotten another iteration of.

Also, speaking of the 8bitdo Pro 2 line, the wired Xbox version of the Pro 2 is pretty great. It's similar to the regular Pro 2, but it has analog triggers, uses Xinput, and has Xbox coloring and branding. It's like they took the best parts of Xbox, SNES, and Playstation controllers and mushed them all together.

The normal one has xinput too. I have the general one. My pro2 has analog triggers too
