Help me choose a controller (sh.itjust.works)

I got my moonlight/sunshine rig running with fedora on the server and my AppleTV as the client. My DualShock 4 controller works but isn’t mapping right and it’s old enough that it’s probably time I bought something new rather than bother fixing it anyway.

I have an Xbox wireless controller but it just never felt right in my hand.

I have 8bitdo SN30 controllers but they never were able to keep a stable connection.

I’m considering either a Sony dualsense controller and charger, 8bitdo ultimate 2, or 8bitdo pro 3.

Opinions?

this is exactly my though as well.

After seeing how good and foundational DualSense is, i cannot go back to the childrens toys that is the Xbox Controller and others. Sony set the golden blueprint with HD Haptics and Adaptive Triggers (I wish a similar tech can be implemented on the sticks as well, but that might be too much given how packed the Sticks are already.).

upcoming Steam Controller looks promising as well. And I think its value proposition would be uncontested IF Valve price it right.
