8bitdo is an amazing company. Can't recommend their controllers enough. Browse their website, they have a lot of options at varying prices: https://www.8bitdo.com/
yep I am really happy with the build quality especially on my 8bitdo UWC. Additionally it works out of the box even for linux!!
Just wanted to support this recommendation, some of the best controllers with the best price points on the market.
I fully agree with the 8bitdo recommendation. I have an 8bitdo Pro 2 controller, and I love it. I love that it is easily customizable, I love that I can use it on multiple devices (Quest 2, Nintendo Switch, PC/Deck), I love that it comes with a rechargable battery but can also be used with AA batteries. Build quality feels great and it can often be found for around $30-40.
Pro 2 is my second favorite controller, right below the Steam Deck's built-in controller. It's plugged into my PC at all times. I'm hoping for a model with 2.4g connection at some point. Basically I want the Ultimate's features in the Pro 2's shell.
