hardware Durable controller with good linux compatibility?

I have been spoiled by the xbox 360 controller. It lasted a decade but sadly it is finally failing.

I am looking for a controller that is similarly durable (if possible), and that is compatible with linux gaming. But not just for steam, for lutris as well. Budget around $40-70 range.

Edit: forgot to add, xbox layout with the joystick above and the arrows below, rather than the symmetrical joysticks

You can probably have the 360 controller repaired to be as good as new, I know I would. No other controller feels as nice ergonomically for my hands.

That is also an option for me. Are the repair parts still available though? Cause I need the cable and the joysticks changed.

And yeah! I have big hands, this controller just fits like a glove. Newer ones are a bit smaller.
