What Gamepad do you recommend? (self.pcgaming)

I'm looking for a set of gamepads to play local co-op games with my fiance. A while back I purchased an Xbox Elite controller expecting it to be sturdy since, it's Microsoft's premium controller targeted at both Xbox and PC. Shortly later, my bumper broke which appears to be because the bumpers are just a piece of plastic being bent over and over. It looks like they ported this same defect over to the Xbox Elite 2 controller without fixing it and at this point, I'm done.

I was looking at Sony controllers, I'm a little worried about there compatibility with PC (Windows and Linux) and also the fact that I have large hands.

Scuff also came up, but their prices are pretty high and IDkK how durable they are.

What do you suggest?

Features and reliability are my metrics.

Dualsense Edge is the best feature-wise, imo. Costs too much though. But you can replace sticks that wear out.

Next up for me would be a Dualsense modded with hall effect sticks. These are great.

Best budget pick is the latest 8bitdo pad with hall effect. I think one of them is only 30 bucks, avoids the stick drift and should last a long time.
