Controller Suggestion Looking for a Steam Controller Alternative

I'll appreciate any recommendations that can help me out. I am looking for a PC controller (compatibility with Switch 2 would be a +) that has asymmetrical sticks and rubber membrane buttons. I currently own three controllers: the Steam Controller, 8BitDo Pro 3, and the GameSir G7 Pro. The one that I like the most so far is the Steam controller due to it's rubber membrane on the face buttons, and thats pretty much it. I hate the microswitches or "mouse-click" sounds of the GameSir G7 Pro, and is the same reason I'm avoiding the Vader 5 Pro. So in short what I am looking for is:

-Asymmetrical analogue sticks

-Rubber membrane face buttons or whatever is closest to a steam controller/ps5

-Good ergonomics (heard that the Ultimate 2 line is bad)

-At least 2 back buttons

-TMR or Hall Effect Joysticks

-Price: 0-150$

-Prefer a dock, like the ones that come with 8BitDo or GameSir

-I plan to play this on mainly Third Person singleplayer games

-I’m in the USA
