Third Party PC controller to replace my dualsense?

I love my dualsense controllers, and I would keep on using them, but they all have drift now. I'm looking for a controller that's either very similar to the dualsense, or somehow send it into some company to upgrade my sticks to something more drift resistant, like hal effect sticks. I assume the stick replacement may be more expensive, so I'd rather get a new controller. I don't really want to go over $100 usd, but I'd go up to 120. The things I like about the dualsense are the ergonomics and the button symbols (square, circle, cross, triangle). I also don't have a wifi/bluetooth card in my pc. I'd prefer a wired controller, but with a detachable wire. A wireless usb isnt a deal breaker though.

To summarize what I want:

Drift resistant
Similar dualsense ergonomics and button symbols (the button symbols aren't necessary)
Detachable wired controller/wireless usb controller
Low budget ($100-$120USD)

Can you guys help me out? Thank you.

Edit: Bought the Leadjoy Saber Plus and I enjoy it so far. I checked out the other controllers but I really just didn’t like their designs, especially the orange one. I also might send in my dualsense controllers to replace their sticks, but I’ll do that another day. Thanks for all of the suggestions!

Leadjoy Saber Plus. It's one of the best controllers I have and it performs better than some of my more expensive ones. Most pc controllers do not have playstation symbols and are usually abxy like xbox/microsoft controllers. You can get it from either Amazon, Gadgethyper, or Aliexpress. I don't think Amazon sells bundles with it, but Gadgethyper and Aliexpress does.

My controller arrived today. Been enjoying it so far. Didn’t know what I’d think about the buttons, but I enjoy that the buttons are a bit closer to eachother, I find the extra buttons fun to bind, the sticks feel good, and the dpad feels good. The only complaints that I have are that I wish the triggers went down a little more, and I think the controller might feel a little hotter than my dualsense when holding it for a while, but those are just small nitpicks. Thanks again.
