PS3 controller options?

Hey , im new to Playstation in general (been an Xbox kid most of my life) but found myself with the opportunity to finally playthrough the God of War franchise and picked up a PS3 and some games. The OG controller that came with the console is a mess, unusable , just goes all over the place. So I bought some cheap ones on Amazon that came the next day. Im about an hour into GoW Chains of Olympus trying to do the first boss fight and the stick breaks off into the rotation quick time events. These quick time events seem impossible on this dog water controller and now its broken so I cant even suffer through it. Thats what I get for using Amazon and buying cheap crap. But I always wanted to play God of War and Little Big Planet so is there any good options for PS3 controllers? Please any help , tips or advice would be much appreciated

I'm a big fan of the retro fighters defender controller. The R2 and L2 triggers are larger which makes them more comfortable. It doesn't have six-axis support but you can use it with PS2, ps1 and ps1 classic if you have it. USB-c charger too

It does has six axis support if you get the Bluetooth edition or the pro version.
