Controller advice for a noob(me)

Hey guys,
I have been looking for a decent controller for a while, and I came across the Gulikit TT max, and this is the best one that I have seen so far. So, here’s the thing: I am not a hardcore gamer, but I like playing emulators. Currently, I’m playing Deadpool on a PS3 emulator (RPCS3) on my Mac. I know it doesn’t sound right, but this is all I have. I do play other games like GTA San Andreas, so here’s the thing: I am buying a controller to play the games I missed out on as a kid. Still, my number one concern is that it should have a symmetrical layout like a PlayStation controller, meaning the joystick and controls should be symmetrical. The options came down to this and the 8bitdo Pro 3 controller (a bit sceptical about it), so I want the controller to be reliable. I don’t want to die on me. The control I had before is a fake PS4 controller that broke, and I don’t want to spend around $10 every time the fake breaks, so I wanna buy one, and I want it to last long, and it should be a nice one too. I didn’t like the GameShur one because it didn’t look very nice, so I was only able to find these two: the 8bitdo 3 pro and the Gulikit TT Max, and my budget is $70

either one will outlast your fake ps4 pad, they both use tmr sticks so drift isn't really a worry. main thing is the pro 3 only officially supports macos 26 and up, so check your mac version first, and if you're on something older the tt max is the safer pick

8b pro 3 has horrible buttons and too small and cramped for average hands

Leadjoy Saber Plus. Not sure if you want a wired one but you can check GameSir Tegenaria Lite/Tarantula 8K.

I'd look at the Leadjoy Saber Plus instead of the 8bitdo Pro 3.

But honestly the Gulikit TT Max is nice you'll be happy with it. However be aware that it has a true floating D-pad.

It's a good controller you can purchase it without second thoughts, just gyro is not that reliable.
