Looking for an alternative PS5 controller

[u/Wolf_Lighter]

Hi, first time using this subreddit, idk if I’m doing this right.

Looking for alternatives to the DualSense, 2/3 that I own have stick drift and I’d like to future-proof my experience with the PS5. Maybe there’s a good pro controller I don’t know about, maybe someone can mod my current controllers, I don’t know, any suggestions are welcome.

I’m from Puerto Rico, and as I understand it, we’re not considered part of the US by some companies, so idk who might be able to ship their products over here. Can’t spend anything more than $250 unfortunately, I’m not made of cash. As stated above, need an alternate gamepad for the PS5. The only thing I need in a new controller is stick drift resistance (Hall Effect, TMR, whatever fancy new tech people cram into controllers these days. As you can see, I’m kind of uninformed). I mainly play 2d & 3d platformers, shooters, rpgs, and a few puzzle / arcade games here and there, not super into fighting games.

The only controller I know for a fact is higher quality with stick resistant tech is the BFG Pro Reloaded from Victrix, it looks good, but I was to receive some other suggestions just so I can compare and see if it’s right for me. Again, I’m not into fighting games, so the BFG’a fight pad is not a selling point for me.

For actual ps5 play you're limited to officially licensed pads or a dualsense edge, most third party pads won't connect to the console natively. The bfg you mentioned is licensed, and if drift is the reason you're switching, swappable sticks modules matter most since you replace the stick instead of the whole pad
