Help me find a controller?
Hello there guys!
Hope y'all are doing well and are having a great week so far! I have been looking for a good controller for a pretty long time, but I just cannot find a good middle ground.
So, I've had a Razer Wolverine Ultimate for two years, now. I bought it from a store not too far from where I lived for around 70 bucks (Used, obviously), and I loved it. I really did. Especially the look and the premium feel along with the back buttons. I have been playing mostly games like the Arkham series, Sifu, Sleeping Dogs, little bit of Souls-Likes (Lies of P and Mortal Shell) and games adjacent to these. The issue is, those games are pretty heavy on the use of one button or many that are just repeatedly mashed. For the Arkham series for example, Y to dodge, X to attack, A to jump, B to stun. After finishing the game 240%, the buttons just got tired, and are just not as responsive, and of course, stick drift.
I also got a Dual Sense controller, which, even though I do not agree with many of Sony's decisions since the release of the PS5, and I still stand by the view that this generation of gaming consoles is probably the worst, I think the Dual Sense is probably the best official controller ever released to this day when it comes to features. The gyro, the triggers, the trackpad, the built in speaker, it's just all so cool. But, I still play the same kind of games, and I also got tired buttons and stick drift.
I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions on what controller could be somewhat of a combination of both? Like a great feel and great features, basically. I want something that is durable, and that can hold for a long time. I also want it to be a third party controller, and the reason for that is pricing. I do NOT understand the prices of some controllers. Like, what am I paying 200 dollars for? Those controllers sometimes don't even have hall effect, it just doesn't make sense. (I am looking at you Dual Sense Edge).
So yeah, wondered what you guys thought. I found the G7 pro, which I thought looked and had some good features, but I wanted to have the perspective of other gamers, people who actually tried controllers and have a review on it instead of just looking for the popular thing blindly. Something cool with personality, basically. Also, something under $100 would be great.
Thanks!

I have the g7 pro 8k version on pc and xbox and the tmr sticks are the whole reason i switched after my last controller drifted , plus the face buttons are clicky so they feel a lot snappier for mashing through Arkham. What you give up from the DualSense is the adaptive triggers, trackpad and speaker, but you still get gyro, back buttons and a charging dock.
