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 love my Gamesir Cyclone 2. Works with Windows, Linux, Android (I use it for Moonlight on my NVIDIA Shield) and iOS (likely Apple TV as well). Well constructed and replaced my Xbox One controller I was previously using. Would highly recommend.

How's the software on windows for the controller? As much as I love my scuf controller, iCue is absolute dog shit and won't let me remap my buttons and breaks controller functionality so looking for something to hold up as a replacement

The software is perfectly cromulent. You have four on-board profiles you can switch between. Using the software is easy and allows you to remap the ABXY and paddles to any other button as well as adjusting deadzones, sensitivity and rgb.

You can also remap buttons on the fly without the software at all.
