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).

Yeah, I know that replacing the sticks on a PS controller is a soldering job, but I don't have a soldering kit.

It was actually my first idea; get a soldering kit, get some hall effect sticks, repair my DS4 controller. But I don't actually have a place to put a soldering kit, I have no skill with soldering, and I can't justify buying a soldering kit just for this one project.
