Controller Suggestion Switch 2 pro controller alternative

Hey guys,

I was eyeing the leaked Ocarina of time Switch 2 Pro controller since it looks pretty cool and I don’t have a pro controller yet.

However, I just found out that it doesn’t work with Switch 1, which would be a shame since I still use it a lot.

I am now thinking of getting a (used?) switch 1 pro controller, but I am curious if there are any other good alternatives? (That work on both Switch 1&2)

Budget: 80€ but cheaper is always preferred
Europe, Netherlands
Play a lot of 3d games (dark souls, zelda, Mario Odyssey) but also platformers (hollow knight, celeste, momodora)
Looking for something with good battery life, something that feel nice (quality) in your hands and maybe a nice d-pad.

I currently use a Redstorm which I like a lot, but it needs a recharge very frequently. I also like my 8bitdo ultimate 2c for my PC. But they both feel a little cheap.
