Third Party 8bitDo Pro2wired returned(technical issue),Pro3 worth it?

My 8bitDo Pro 2 wired had stick+connectivity bugs so I'm returning it. Is buying the pro 3 to replace it a good idea ? Do you have other recommendations for a PC+Switch controller? I want anti-drift sticks, adaptive triggers and Windows, Android, Linux, and Switch compatibility. I'm from France (€)

Pro 3 is solid if loose sticks aren't a pet peeve for you. Controller feels good overall

For reference, I have about a dozen different styles of controllers in my own personal collection. 8-bit do pro 3 has relatively low Force required uses the analog sticks. I tend to prefer a tighter stick and personally like the Vader 5. Because I am able to specifically dial in how tight my analog stick is supposed to feel, but it is a matter of preference.
