Hal Effect sticks are a must. I'm looking for a controller because my PS4 controller has some pretty horrible stick drift. I don't want a repeat of that.

PlayStation layout is also a must. Never understood the appeal of the wonky xbox layout.

Must also ship to Europe. Preferably a company from Europe. But outside of Europe also works if shipping and customs don't add twice the controller's cost to the price.

I'm asking this in Linux Gaming, so obviously must work with Linux (though so far I've had less issues getting controllers to work on my Linux desktop than I've had with Windows).

DualSense or a Logitech F310 (F710 if you need wireless).

The Logitech controllers are solid, sturdy, use the PSX layout (they're designed after the OG dualshock), and inexpensive.

Idk what kind of sensors they use, but I've had my F310 since they launched and it's still in perfect condition.

DualSense doesn't use hall effect sensors, but I've also had these for 3+ years now, used daily, no issues. But you can replace the sensors if you want to.

    The adaptive triggers and haptics on Dualsense are incredible… when it’s supported. Which is almost never. But games like Returnal and Pacific Drive are unplayable to me without using a Dualsense after seeing what it’s like.
