Recommend me a controller. (lemmy.world)

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).

Yep, this was my first thought. But I don't know how to solder, I don't have a soldering kit, and I don't have any place to put it. I can't justify buying a whole soldering kit if I'm using it for this project alone; it'll be more expensive than just buying a new controller where the problem wont happen anymore.

    You'd be surprised at the uses you'd find for a soldering iron after owning one. So many different things suddenly become possible to fix. . . if you have the inclination to learn, of course.

    and if not, then yeah, Just get a premade.
