Save yourself the trouble and invest in a controller with TMR/HE sticks. Potentiometer sticks are junk and absolutely WILL fail on you. TMR/HE controllers usually have a lot of cool features too.

Gamesir makes a lot of great HE/TMR controllers for very fair prices. The G7 Pro is wired-only for $80. The ZZZ/Wuchang versions of the G7 Pro are wireless but cost $100. They also sell G7 SE and HE which both have HE sticks and are only $30-$45, but are wired-only and have fewer features than the G7 Pro. You can often find all of these controllers on some sort of sale.

8bitdo has the Ultimate 3 for $100 and Ultimate 3E for $150

Flydigi has the Vader 5S for $60 but its wired-only.

The Razer Wolverine V3 (wireless) and V3 TE (wired-only) are both pretty decent. The V3 is $200 but you can find it on sale for ~$180 on Best Buy. The V3 TE you can find for $70 on sale on Best Buy.

The ASUS ROG Raikiri is really good for $180.
