I've just pulled the trigger on a dock and I'm thinking it may be time to upgrade my external controller. I have a Logitech F710 which has been pretty decent for PC gaming and has worked well on Linux. I'm seeing the Xbox XS as a top recommendation. Is it worth the upgrade?

I personally have a Gulikit Kong Pro 2 controller, and I like it. It fits well in the hand, has Hall-effect thumbsticks, and was a reasonable price compared to XBox and PS controllers.

That being said, I bought it to play Metroid Prime and have spent most of my gaming time on my desktop after finishing that. I'm currently trying to get BOTW on my Steam Deck for a second playthrough soon and will definitely be using the controller for that as well.
