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).

Haven't had any issues with the 8Bitdo, but I also have a Gulikit King Kong 2 that when it was new, had some issues with how the accelerometers worked when playing Switch games that eventually got fixed with a firmware update. It was kinda hard to play Splatoon 3 for a bit until it was updated. So i'd say the firmware updates are for stuff like that

Ah, makes sense.
