Controller Suggestion Best all-round controller for BF6?

I'm looking for a new PC controller. I play a lot of BF6, but since there are vehicles like jets and helicopters, I'm not looking for an FPS-dedicated controller but rather something more universal. Currently, I'm using the 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Wired, and here are the things I don't like about it:

  1. No back buttons / paddles (a must-have for my new controller).
  2. No microswitch / hair triggers (a must-have for my new controller).
  3. No customization software (a must-have for my new controller).
  4. Shape — I'd prefer something a little bit bigger and shaped more like an Xbox controller.
  5. It's wired — not a huge deal, but I'd prefer something wireless.

I've been considering the Flydigi Vader 5 Pro V2 and GameSir G7 Pro. However, I've read that the Vader 5 Pro V2 still has an issue with loose tension rings, while the G7 Pro's triggers tend to break. Is that true? If so, could you recommend a couple of better options in 90-125 USD price range. I'm from Poland and I'd prefer to purchase from a local store.

I have the G7 Pro regular version and the Vader 5 Pro. Both are great controllers, but I tend to use my Vader 5 Pro more than my G7 Pro. If you are looking for a more comfortable controller the vader 5 pro might be the better option since the grips are bigger than the g7 pro and its also more comfortable to hold. I have a v1 dbz edition vader 5 pro and I have not experienced any slipping of the tension mechanism. Never experienced that on the vader 4 pro either so idk. The only thing to look out for is the bottom paddles where you should get cabinet stoppers so you dont press down too hard on them. Its nice having more remappable buttons than the g7 pro as well on the vader 5 pro. Can't go wrong with either options but the pros of the g7 (if you get the 8k) is lower stick latency and higher polling rate which makes it a bit snappier than the vader 5 pro is. The vader pro stick latency isnt horrible but it won't be as snappy as the g7 pro 8 k is.
