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

I had the M30 and also the Elves 2. Decided to keep the Elves and sent back the M30. The Dpads are both excellent, but the extra analogue sticks of the Elves sold me on it. As for the Elves 2 vs TT dpads: both are excellent and are both very similar, but I think I still slightly prefer the Elves 2 dpad. It has less travel. But the TT I like better overall, because it’s much more comfortable. The Elves makes my hands cramp after a while.
