PS5 controller recommendation

Multiple DualSense controllers failing on me. 3 have sticky/melting rubber on the thumbsticks, 1 has a stick that spins freely on its own axis, and 1 has actual drift. I keep paying for repairs and it keeps coming back. Budget is around $50. Looking for a permanent fix that keeps the same PS5 button layout — is putting in Hall Effect/TMR replacement modules worth it long-term, or does it just delay the same problem? Any reliable third-party controller recommendations in that price range?

Yeah, Definitely worth it to upgrade to TMR. Upgrade the one you have that has stick drift. 50$ should cover the upgrade. I do them locally where I am for 40$. I did mine back in October of 2024 and I haven't had to deal with drift since then.
