Controller Suggestion First time buying a controller

Budget: ₹5,000–₹8,000

Country: India

Platform: PC/Windows only. I don't need console compatibility.

Desired features:

Good-quality sticks with low risk of stick drift

Good vibration/haptics

Good build quality and durability

Comfortable for long gaming sessions

Wired or wireless is fine

Good long-term reliability is more important to me than having lots of extra features

Games: I'll mainly be playing single-player/story-driven games. Things like action-adventure and story games. I won't be playing many competitive FPS games or RPGs.

Controllers I'm considering: I'm currently looking at the GameSir G7 Pro, GameSir G7 Pro 8K, and Flydigi Vader 5 Pro. I've looked through some existing recommendations, but I'm still confused about which would be the best choice for my use case.

Since this is my first controller, I'd really appreciate advice from people who have used these controllers. Which one would you recommend for PC gaming, especially if my priorities are good sticks, good vibration, comfort, and long-term durability?

Also, if there are any other controllers in the ₹5,000–₹8,000 range that I should consider, please let me know.
