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?

I have the Cyclone 2 as well. Its a great controller. The charging stand is really handy too and the controller automatically turns on and connects when you pick it up off the charging stand.

The only issue I've had (and its a problem with all xbox style controllers) is that in order to move the mouse cursor you need to hold the "Xbox button" and move the stick, but if you hold the button for longer than a few seconds the controller powers off. So I'm looking forward to the new Steam Controller because it has seperate touch pads.
