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).

"PlayStation" or "xbox" layout has never been referred to merely the face buttons until now.

What is meant by "layout" is... Well... The layout. Where the buttons and the sticks are. The PlayStation layout is symmetrical. The xbox layout is lopsided, with the left stick abd the d-pad switched around.

A lot less talked about is also the Gamecube layout, again not merely referring to the style of face buttons but their physical layout.
