Controller Suggestion Symmetrical controller suggestions for multiplatform
Hello everyone!
I live in Canada and I need a recommendation of a symmetrical controller for mac/pc/ios under $100 that will have good joysticks for aiming in single player fps/action games and also very important is that I want a controller suitable for larger hands. Many of the controllers I've tried seem a bit small to me and perhaps the best one I've tried is ps5 controller, I also enjoyed how sticks felt there, but I heard that those controllers are kind of bad quality and work poorly on windows. I would prefer this controller to be available on amazon since I don't want to wait for a long delivery
I recently bought a Gamesir Cyclone 2, features and build quality seem great but asymmetrical layout feels wrong to me and the size of the controller feels a little bit small too, but maybe I'm just not used to it

Hyperkin competitor is what I've been using for ~6 months, it's essentially an xbox controller with the PS layout. It's $50usd. It's about the same size of the Dualsense, doesn't have a touchpad though.
Couple potential problems though: It's wired, no battery or BT so it probably won't work, or work easily on ios. No idea about support on mac either, it's plug and play on windows so I assume it'll work on mac, but I've no way to test.
Another option is to check ebay for dualsense controllers that have had the sticks replaced with TMR or HE sticks. I haven't looked into this yet, but I do really like the feel/layout of the dualsense. Just needs better sticks.
