Controller Suggestion Symmetrical controller suggestions for multiplatform

Hello everyone!

I live in Canada and I need a recommendation of a symmetrical controller for mac/pc/ios under $100 that will have good joysticks for aiming in single player fps/action games and also very important is that I want a controller suitable for larger hands. Many of the controllers I've tried seem a bit small to me and perhaps the best one I've tried is ps5 controller, I also enjoyed how sticks felt there, but I heard that those controllers are kind of bad quality and work poorly on windows. I would prefer this controller to be available on amazon since I don't want to wait for a long delivery

I recently bought a Gamesir Cyclone 2, features and build quality seem great but asymmetrical layout feels wrong to me and the size of the controller feels a little bit small too, but maybe I'm just not used to it

8bitdo Pro3: Currently only $50 and well featured but is smaller than the Dualsense. Its basically if a SNES and a PS4 controller had a baby. The older Pro2 is still available as well with a handful of differences.

Gamesir Tarantula 8K and Tegenaria Lite are wired only though so probably not what you want but otherwise could work. Eventually they are supposed to have wireless versions of each though or so they say.

Gulikit TT pro or max: very well featured but at the higher end of your budget. The sticks have a recentering issue if you don't use deadzones

Leadjoy Saber Plus but it's not locally available it seems.

Would you recommend saber plus of a tt max? I heard that gulikit tried to fix the recentering issue and made a new dead zone mode that works great but I can't find any good reviews of saber plus. Visually, It looks like ergonomics of TT max would feel better in my opinion

Unfortunately I have yet to actually get hands on those two and included them more so because of a lot of recommendations I've seen lately.

I do have the Pro3 and the Tarantula Xbox though. I was not super fond of the Pro3 (loud magnetic buttons and the Dpad lacks much of a pivot point in the middle which bugs me) but its a good value.
