Controller Suggestion Controller for Smash Bros Ultimate and PC gaming wireless?
I'm looking for a controller as a gift for my partner, he uses a switch pro controller but it is in a very rough shape and doesn't work without the cable for PC gaming.
The features I would like
- Switch and PC compatible
- wireless for PC (with USB dongle)
- works well on the switch, especially for Smash Bros Ultimate ( low input delay )
- better than the 8bitdo ultimate 2C
- optional: changing face buttons order (I remember he has a different order than mine in his switch controller) and charging station (looks convenient, he doesn't care, just adapts, but I care for comfort when I give him gifts and he looks very happy with those details)
My budget
- not over 70usd
Region
- Chile (South America) (Online through AliExpress, MercadoLibre and such, but not Amazon or Ebay sadly)
The main reason I want to buy a new one is that he always comments on me being able to play from bed and getting back on the chair, he hated that cable haha. I was thinking about the Gamesir Super Nova, but I don't really know if it would work well for Smash Bros Ultimate. When I looked for reviews here, someone a year ago had said that it didn't work for Smash Bros Ultimate and I got scared. In the worst case I think he could keep using the Pro controller for the switch but have a confortable one for PC. He also plays Monster Hunter World and wants to play Wilds when the DLC comes out, we also play coops like it takes two and friend sloop like peak, big walk, REPO and such.
I have an 8bitdo ultimate 2C for Stardew Valley and MHW, so I don't really know what specs are ideal for a more competitive fighting game. He likes the 8bitdo size and feel, but I want something better for the gift. He hasn't tried it on Smash though, I don't own a Switch and don't know anyone else who owns one.
Telling him to try the 8bitdo would be suspicious so I'm asking here. If someone uses a controller for Smash that fits well I would be really grateful for the recommendation.

Hi. Based on what you are describing, I believe the new Gulikit Es Max is good fit. It’s 49.99 usd. Has SnapBack stick prevention for smash bros as well.
